The game I think the author should have mentioned in his article is Look up at the Animals because I think that game is a very good game and that it shows people that we are polluting the the habitats of animals and that they are getting affected by that. They are also dying and going extinct.

"Forks Over Knives"

1.) I think this documentary is going to be about healthy eating and how to eat properly and what to eat as in healthy food.
2.) I think the title implies that forks are better to eat salads than with a knife because knives are to cut meat and forks are to eat salads.

Final Game

The name of my team is AJA and the title of our game is "Don't Join!". The topic of our game is to incurouge teenagers to stay out of gangs. The learning goal of the game is the player will learn by playing our game is that being in gangs is wrong and can ruin your life. Although they try to tell all the good things that they have and do, they don't tell you the bad things that happens or the crimes they do. The player will learn about our topic by answering questions in the first level. Although my teams game is complete and playable, I would have loved to have more time to make the game more complicated and a better topic to make my game on. The most challenging part of creating this game was adding all the scenes together and adding the coding to make one scene go to the next. But the most challenging coding was the coding for level three. So after struggling with it for days we had an agreement to take the maze out and just make the player doge the balls to the finish lines. What in most proud of is that I accomplished to finish the game on time.

Respect

Respect to me means to not be mean to others or yourself. You have to be polite to the elders and classmates. If you want people to be polite and respectful to you than you should do the same because maybe that's what they want too. Respect in a classroom looks like students being in their seats and listening to others in the front of the classroom or to their teacher and not passing notes or having side conversations with their friends beside them. In the computer labs, respect is not slamming the computers closed or typing too hard on the keyboard. Neither should you eat drink or play around in the lab because you could spill a drink on the computer or you could bump into a computer and knock it over. In the hallways respect is shown as not pushing each other out of the way when your walking or stepping on people on purpose. During lunch/breakfast you show respect by eating your food and not throwing it around like if it could fly, also by cleaning after yourself and picking up your empty trey.

My Game Demo Slides

Angelica did the Did the Smart Factor, Style Factor and the Originality Facor

Ashley did the Gameplay, Learning Goal and Fun Factor.

Jailene did the Intro Scene, Team Intro and Audience.

The Hunger Games

I created this on Flash. It is based on the Hunger Games.

Notes 2-23-12

For the past two days we should have our Intro, Team Intro, Audience, and Gameplay from Monday. And from Tuesday we should have Learning Goal, Fun Factor and Smart Factor. Now For Wednesday We have to finish the rest of the scenes as Style Factor and Originality Factor and have our final project. On our final we should have a next AND a back button just in case someone wants to look at the previous page again or if the person accidentally clicked on the next button twice. Style Factor is just like a brief description of how our game will be or like the theme of the game. Like for example if the game will have like a robotic sound in the background and has a main character of a robot then the Style Factor will be like a techno theme. Or another example will be if the game has a setting of the ocean and has like wave sounds or water sounds then the Style Factor will me like a marine theme.

Notes:

People have to work way too many hours of over time just to get by and if they have children to take care of they work even more and don't even see their children. Their children are not even going to school because they're too poor to get an education. So they spend their time playing in this area where the factory has dumped all the shoe souls made of rubber and burn them and the children are playing in that area where all of the chemicals of the rubber had and can probably poison them or give them a disease or something like that.

workers are being held by force to work. and they cant leave the country because they have no passports unless they pay their debt which they cant because they are being paid too little. And the men are living practically on top of each other, their toi;et on on part of their house and where they cook their food right next to the toilets. They are forced to live like this. 12000 worker are living like salves by working with this company. their passports were taken away and cant leave unless they pay for their debt and leave the country.

Object in the Sky

1.) How Could you take this real-life event and turn this into a game?

I would take this real-life event and make it into a game by re-showing what I saw and how close I thought it was. I will also show where it landed or where the scientists think it landed.

2.) What genre would you focus on?

I will focus on the genre of puzzles and mazes or even Math.

3.) What skill or topic would your game teach?

The skill or topic that my game will teach is math skills.

What the player will have to do is figure out about how far away is the meteor is from where they are and where they think it will land.

At this moment I don't know how the hero or the enemy of the game will look like for my game but an idea will come to me soon. I hope.

The type of animation and sound that the player will hear in the game is the object going across the screen in the sky and the object's BOOM! as it lands.

Action Script

Action is a programming language in Flash.

• Instance name
• Actions
• Programming
• Keyboard Control
• Collision detection
• Drag and Drop
• Layers
• Codes
• Keyframes
• Numbers
• X, Y
• Click and Drag
• Movement
• Buttons
• Scrolling Background
• Sound

Flash Reminders

1.) Place everything in it's own layer, especially when you will have maybe a scene that has too many objects.

2.) Place corresponding layers in the same files, meaning if you have too many layer, you can put them in a folder.

3.) Label your lares and folders. Give them just an easy name to not forget.

4.) You MUST assign Instance Names to all symbols. You have everything right, like the code and everything is in its own layer, but doesn't work well, then you are missing the Instance Name.

5.) Upload ALL of your work to the Wiki, Wether it's complete or not. If you do this, then you can always go back and fix it.

My Gaming Habits

1.) What types of games do you enjoy playing? What are the titles?

The type of games I enjoy playing are like puzzle game or mazes or what ever game I find interesting. The titles of some of the games I play are Guitar Hero, Jewels, Plants vs. Zombies, and a lot more.

2.) When did you begin playing games? On what type of game system?

3.) Do your parents/guardians limit the amount of time you are allowed to play games?

4.) Do you think it is possible to get completely addicted to playing video games? Why or why not?
