A marathon is a long-distance running race,mostly a length of 26 miles and 385 yards.People run marathons so they can feel good about themselves and so they can learn how to not give up.The story that i found most interesting was the one of Ryan Bradley.I liked this story because he never gave up even when his knee was injured and he still chose to run the marathon and even though he had a lot of doubts about himself he still followed his dream to run in the Boston marathon.

My Game

My final game is a platform game about the oil spill.In my game the hero is a diver and the diver is different in both levels.What i like about my game is that we have enemies that are hard to get through and we have a bunch of coins and that is what make our game more fun for kids to play.I also like the platforms because this is my first time making a platform game. I could have made my game longer just because its so short or i could have made it harder so its more difficult to get to the next level and beat the game.I also could have made my here move backward by flipping over because all it does is reverse.I wanted to put more enemies on my game but it kept messing up so i didn't get to do that because i died automatically and my game wouldn't have been fun if that happen.

Final Game Reflection

I learn a lot this year and by working on my game i learned that we have a lot of social issues in our earth and community.This year was amazing and i learned way more stuff than i did last year.I also learned how to do cool stuff in flash.I now know how to make a stick figure animated and i know all about the frames and stuff.I think i have gotten better with typing and working in flash because that's mainly the only things that we do.I am doing much better to learn how to solve problems on my own unlike last year because now i know that there is other people in this world that don't get to have the experience that i do in my Globaloria classroom.I like working better in a team because if you get stuck or frustrated along the way your partner or teammate is there to help you and by yourself you have to figure out how to do thins on your own.I know i can do a lot of things with computers now because when i was little i didn't know nothing about computers all i used to do is play games and now i actually know how computers work and things like that.I can use what i learned in Globaloria in my later life because now that i know a lot i can get a better job and have a better career than what i planned to have when i was growing up.The most challenging part of this year was making the platform game because we all had to work together and people kept messing up so we had to stop and go step by step.Here is my partner and I's game....

Platform Game Project

      I have enjoyed this project but  getting all the codes to work the way i wanted them too was a little difficult.When we started this project i thought we were just going to copy the codes and when i found out we had to write the codes i knew it was going to take more time.At first i could not get my game to work and i went over the codes at least four times and i was on the verge of giving up.One of my friends got it to work and now it looks really cool i was so happy when i saw it worked.

     I learned never to give up when you are working in flash because one way or another it is going to end up working and if you give up at the end your going to regret giving up when everybody elses game works and yours doesn't.This whole thing was a learning experience to me and i think i learned a lot and while doing it i had fun.

     I strive to do my best in all of my projects but in this one i did my best out of all of my projects.I think i did my best the most in this project and it was fun.My least favorite thing was when she did not get our games to work.This project was challenging.

           

drawing a scene

During the time that we have been working on our game i learned that we should take better care of our planet because it is going to be hard to live in our later life if all of earth is polluted.I came to learn this because i have been doing a lot of research so my game can turn out good.The website that helped me the most would have to be Wikipedia because it game me a lot of information that i needed to know for my game.I know i can trust Wikipedia so i know i can trust their information that they give out to the whole world.This is going to be a very interesting topic to learn more about.

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.
