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.

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.
