2012

What do i want to accomplish in 2012?I want to have better grades in all of my classes.I want to make myself succeed.I think this is all i want to accomp lish so far

paper prototype.

• The Big Idea: Describe your team's game topic. What is the most important concept you want your players to learn? My teams game topic is about the BP oil spill and how hard it was to clean the mess up.We want the players to learn that it is difficult for even thousands of people to clean up an ocean and it can effect many peoples lifestyles.

• Making Decisions as a Team: How did your individual ideas from "Imagining Your Game" come together for your team game topic? How did your team decide the topic? We can do a decision to make this topic because we had the same game idea and we could make it a good game that teaches you that it is fun to play.
• Roles & Responsibilities: Tell us more about your team process. Please each talk about your specific roles, and how you work together.I am going to be the artist because i love to draw and design things and Beto will be the programmer because he is very good with all that technical stuff and Miguel will be the another artist so we know we will not mess up and we will know what we are doing.

• Research: What kind of research went into the way you will express the game topic? The research we did will be used as facts in our game.

• The User Experience: Explain the game play. What actions does the player take in the game? Has this changed since you first started planning your game? Why? The actions that the player is going to swim down to the pipeline and use his/her tools to fix it.We have changed it from our first idea because it was too boring at first.

• Mastering Flash: What Flash resources have been most helpful in your learning so far, and why? How did you locate these resources?All of them because they show us what to do and why we shouldn't do stuff.We located our resources by typing oil spill in google.

• Overcoming Challenges: What curriculum topic has been most difficult for you so far? How did you overcome this difficulty?None of them so far and nothing.

imagining your game

I am writing my game for people who are between 10 and 17 years old. The person who plays my game must be able to have good fast coordination. Since my topic is oil spills the player must already know about oceans. My players will learn about the details of my topic, such as to react fast to an oil spill. The environment for my game will look like oceans. This setting will add to the learning of my game by teaching them skills. The environment of my game will help the player learn by teaching them about the ocean. The player will need to use their knowledge of oceans in order to clean up the oil. A game is a better way of understanding my topic than a quiz because a quiz is so boring and my game is very fun. 

Reflect on Your Game Idea

I am designing my game for kids in 6th through 9th grade.The player will learn that when an oil spill occurs it is very hard for people to clean up the ocean.The world in my game will be like our world but close to the gulf coast like the oil spill that occurred.The setting will add to the learning experience because it will show them were an oil spill occurs.The player learns that oil spreads fast and oil can burn so they can set it on fire but they have to be careful because the fish.My game is better than a quiz because quizzes are boring and long and while playing my game the players will learn but at the same time they will have fun while they are doing it.

Tempest in Crescent City

      When i played this game i felt like i was in the actual game watching the girl go from house to house going into dirty water to save people.I learned that it is very hard for the people that went through hurricane Katrina and it was very shocking to watch the movie.I wish hurricane Katrina never happened because it affected a lot of people and it was terrifying to watch.This game gave me an idea of how the people reacted during this disaster.
      In the game when you have to chop holes in the roof.You have to do this in the game because in real life when the actual hurricane Katrina destroyed New Orleans the people were stuck in their attics and the people had to chop holes in the roof in order to save them.This is also another very tragic scene to watch when people die in their own homes.I would love to save someone in this situation but i also would hate to see them in so much pain.
      In the levels the water rises higher every time because when hurricane Katrina happened the water levels rose up each day.The game is very much like the real life situation because they made the game exactly how the real life disaster happened.Everything that happened in New Orleans has occurred in thus game.The only thing that they did not happen in this game was when the people in New Orleans had to evacuate and they went to the super dome.
      Playing this game did inspire me to learn more and i really want to research this topic for a later project or something if i could i would drive to New Orleans and give them as much food and clothing as i possibly could.This game inspired me because it was very interesting and i do not know what else i can say besides that it was a very bad situation.I want to help these people because i saw how a lot of people reacted during this event and they were all sad or crying and some adults did not even know where their kids were at or weather they were dead or alive and i want to help because if my sister got hurt or something i would do anything to help her out.

Darfur is Dying

          From playing this game I learned that Darfur is a very poor place inside of the country Sudan.They are a very ill country and they can't afford to have water in their houses like everyone else does and i personally think that is not fair.I know if they had water in their houses they would be very proud and very thankful.When the janjaweed attack they suffer from injured people to deaths.
         Their are differences in the characters because the smaller they are the faster they run but they don't fill up the bucket all the way its only like half way and the mom runs very slow but she fills up the bucket.I think the game designers made the characters have different abilities so we can see how hard it is to live their life.It tells us a lot about what is happening in real life because it is a real life situation were you have to run and go get water without getting caught by the janjaweed.
         I think in real life they do have to maintain the camp and it was not just for fun because people are actually doing this stuff rite now.If we went to Darfur we would not like it because we all drink water everyday and we would not even live a week in Darfur.
         I think they want us to share it with facebook and write letters is so we can show people how easy it is to live our lives and they have to run miles to get a bucket of water and we just go anywhere and there is water.I would like to share it with all of my friends and better yet the whole wide world.Nobody knows how its like to live their lifesexept themselves.

         This game did inspire me and if it was up to me i would like to go on a fieltrip to see how they actually live their life's.I would like to do this because it will give us and opportunity to live someone Else's life to see how hard they have to live.Here  are some links.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darfur_is_Dying   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darfur   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janjaweed

Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs was the inventor of apple and pixar.If it wasn't for him we would not have the iPhone ,ipod ,ipod nano ,iPhone 4 ,ipad ,and so on.Today i learned that he died of cancer and he was very famous and his family must have been very rich because all of the stuff that he invented.He is an inspiration to me because he is a big part of technology.Whithout him you would not have this.---------->
