Demo

I think I have learned a lot from my game.  It has taught me more about how technology influences media class, and how much equipment is actually needed for one class. If I could talk to researchers, journalists, etc. I would tell them to put more about the equipment and how it is used.

Using Civics Ideas in STEM

There are many games that can be made using Civic ideas in the STEM category.  One idea is making a game revolved around the voting machines in voting; which have to do with technology. Another idea is to make a game centered around the country's economy. In this game you could trade, manage the whole country, and declare war to increase the wellness of the country's economy.  This game will be in the math section of STEM. My third and final idea is a question game that is centered around the laws of technology and science in the constitution.

Favorite Gaming System

My personal favortie gamnig system, even though iI don not own one, is an Xbox 360.  I own a Playstation 2.  It is very old, freezes all the time, and doesn't work half of the time.  I also have a Wii, which is pretty awesome too.  I love it because I like moving around and being competitive during video games.  However, this weekend  I am buying an Xbox 360 with my birthday money.

Favorite Experience

My favorite experience in class has to be when we finally figured out how to get our character, Bernie, to jump.  That has been my favorite experience so far.  My absolute favorite experience will be when we finally finish our game and make it perfect.

Respect our Military

Our military deserve our respect.  Military personnel give up everything, sometimes their life, for our country.  Many have fought and died to give us our freedoms that we have today.  They spend months, sometimes years away from their families.  They definitely deserve all of our respect.

Sound

Sound isn't a big part in our game, but My partner, Shannon, and I will add some music to it.  We each are brainstorming on ideas for songs for our game, and we will pick the best ones that are appropriate for our game and school.  I'm very excited to start working on the music because music is my life.  We're thinking "We are the Champions" by Queen for the winning scene.

Another swf file

This is Brandon and Jared's description for their game.  I liked this file because it was cool how they got the letters to come in.

Flash

    I love working in Flash.  I enjoy the challenge and just thinking about what to do next. Working with codes can be a little stressful at times, but it pays off in the end. This class lets you have the chance to be creative, and overall, it is an awesome class.

This link is about Mario.  I think this has to do with my game because we based our gameplay and movements on Mario.

Vlog

awwwwwwwwkward... and this isn't uploading right so I put the link below.

Useful Link

http://www.entheosweb.com/Flash/default.asp

I couldn't find a link on another person's blog. This link is a site that has many Flash tutorials and helpful advice on it.  It is helpful because of all the advice on it.  I suggest it to anyone trying to use flash.

Visual Storytelling

      My partner, Shannon, and I are visual storytelling through our scenes by telling about game in each scene.  Each scene tells a little more about our game:  what is learned from the game, the look of the game, etc.  Climate control has an excellent storyline.   It has many different scenarios to challenge you.  Another narrative game that influenced our game is Mario.  We set the game play and scenes like Mario, but we have a completely original storyline.

New Idea

    A new idea I've learned in this class is the different types of technologies,  educational and informative.  Educational technology is used in school.  Informative technology is technology used outside of school to help inform you.  My partner Shannon and I found this information on Wikipedia when researching out topic.

Paper Prototyping

      This assignment has helped me layout my game more clearly.  Actually getting to see it drawn out and the scenes was pretty awesome.  I had to change my idea of the game from a continuous level to a set screen level.

Research topic

     We're supposed to introduce ourselves; so I'm Codie, and I'm a senior at Hurricane High. I reseached media to find out different devices to use for our game about Bernie, a student who is late for media class and needs to collect his supplies.  The links helped pick out what technology a media class uses.

experience writing code

      The experience of writing code has gave me a new perspective about playing games.  Writing just a simple game was difficult.  The code that goes into console games must be very difficult.  This class will change my whole perspective and give me a better appreciation of game designers.

games

  I do play games in my free time.  I usuaully play Madden and it s my favorite because I love competition.  Madden is obviously a very competitive game because it is football.  Seeing how much code and work goes into even the simplest of games gives me an entire new perspective on video games.  The amount of work game designers have to put into new and andvanced games is crazy.

Game Reviews

3rd World Farming was a very addicting and fun game. Strategy games are very appealing to me.  It is challenging with a good storyline.  It is put together very well with lots of features.  I can't stop playing it.

Gravitee is a excellent game.  It ties in a miniature golf game with gravitational science.  You use the mass of the planets and their gravitational pull to shoot the ball the the ring on one of the planets.  It was thought out very well, and I recommend playing it.

Globaloria

This is a pretty chill class.  I hope to learn how to make a game, which I'm pretty sure I will.  This class looks like it's going to be a sweet class.
I'd like to make a game almost Mario-like, but going up instead of across.
