Game Topic

Today I am going to talk more about the topic of the game we are making. Our game is about the problems caused by gambling and is called The Gamble of a Lifetime. Gambling is a real problem in many places around the world.

If I had money, influence, and power I would try to advertise this game as much as I could on tv and the internet. This game will be a great way to learn through good gameplay and great humor. I think people can reaqlly learn a lot through this game.

That's all for now. Later

Class Review V2

Once again I am going to review the class. The class is still fun and getting even better. Everyone works well together, too.I really like working in flash because you can create your own stuff and have it do all kinds of things.

I would also like to remind everyone that The Elite Shuffle's game is about gambling and will be called The Gamble of a Lifetime. The game is coming along nicely. Making our game is definitely going to get harder because we will need a lot of different codes for all the things in our game. We'll find a way to make everything work though.

That's all for now. Later.

Adding Animation

Now the class has finished adding animation.

The coolest thing about learning to animate is being able to bring a still drawing to life and have it do all kinds of things. The only limit you have is your own
imagination.

One animation in games that I admire are transformation sequences. I really like these because they show one character change into something else entirely.

Here is a video of some great animation:

The Sound in a Game

Now the class is starting to experiment with sounds. We made two projects with sound.

Sound is very important to a game. Could you play a game with music that really annoyed you? You can always turn the sound off or replace it with your own on some game systems.
Some games have really great music. One example of great music from a game is Live and Learn from Sonic Adventure 2. It is a really great song and fits perfectly in the final boss fight.

That's all for now. Later.

Class Review

Today I will review the class. I think the class has been very fun and challenging. The thing I liked the most was the drawing in flash. In contrast the thing I liked least was adding navigation and that was only the last part of it. I think the grading system works fine. I would only change the class by giving us more time.

I would recommend this class to a friend if they liked games, because this is a fun class and they can really learn a lot about computers and games. It would be a great class for someone who wants a career working with computers or technology.

That's all for now. Later.

Adding Navigation

Today I finished the adding navigation topic. The last part of the topic was kind of hard, but overall it was fun.

Here is an image that deals with the topic of our game:

I chose this image because when you think of gambling usually the first thing you think of are cards. I chose the ace of spades because it is my favorite (and luckiest) card.

That's all for now. Later.

Drawing in Flash

As of now, the team has finished drawing in flash. If you have been reading my blog, you should know by now that are game is about gambling. We didn't really learn anything new about gambling, but we learned about how long and hard it is to make scenes in flash.

That's all for now,and sorry, this post was kind of late. Later
