December The Eighteenth 2008

I have recently started making my buttons for the game. I don't understand how to make the buttons do anything, but I am going to ask my partner for help. I still need to create our instructions and explanation pages before I make the main menu do anything.

December The First 2008

Today I began making the title page for our game. We decided that the title "Time Warp" suited our game well. I haven't finished the title page, but when I do, I don't know how to make the pages change, for example, if you click instructions, you should be sent to the instructions page. I don't understand how to do that yet. I do know how to do both the motion and the shape tweening. I'm still learning new things about flash as I go along.

November The Twentieth 2008

Today I started working on navigation. I tried making buttons for our game, but I don't really know how. I don't understand how to make something "clickable", where when you click it, it will go to another screen. I have the characters and backgrounds, but I can't do much more until I learn how to actually "make" the game.

November The 14th 2008

Today I continued working on the characters for our game. I also began working on the backgrounds for our game.

November The Seventh 2008

Today I continued working on the characters for our game. We still need to decide on the title of our game.

November The Fifth 2008

I have been creating the characters for our game. I have created the main character. I have not made them move or anything yet, but as soon as I finish all of the characters I will begin doing that.

November The Third 2008

~We have been working on uploading our flash clips. I uploaded mine without a problem. I have finally figured out how to use flash.~

October The 30th

I have been working with flash for the past few days. I posted what I've done on my project page. I think I've pretty much figured flash out. I know how to make things move and everything. After I worked with it a little while, I realized it's not as complicated as I thought it would be.

October The Twenty - Second

We've been playing around with Flash. I figured out how to make layers and then make them move by using flash tweening.

October The Seventeenth 2008

Today my group recorded our paper prototype. I think we did a pretty good job. We were behind because we'd both been sick, but now we are caught up. I am goin to post our group name onto my daily log on my user page.

October The Fifteenth 2008

Today we explored some websites. They told you how to get and create podcasts. It was interesting, because it would be neat to have something on your ipod that you created on your own.

October The 14th 2008

Today we began filming our paperprototypes. I will film my paperprototype tomorrow. I still need to create some more "pieces" for my paperprototype. I will do that today so I will have it for tomorrow. Other than that, I am ready to film mine.

October The Ninth 2008

~My group has been working on the paper prototype of our game. We've discussed our characters in the game and we've discussed the levels of the game. So far, our paper prototype is finished up to the end of the first level of the game.~

September The Twenty - Sixth

~Today I read a tutorial about using frames and keyframes to create a movie with animation. It explained it well. I think it will be easier to learn flash if I just use it and explore with it. It's easier for me to learn something if I just play around with it.~

September The Twenty - Second

Today we discussed the tutorial about paper prototyping. I had previously watched it. I think that it showed it well and I understand how to do paper prototyping now. It just uses a lot of paper to do it though.

September the Twenty - Second

Today we discussed our games with our partners. We decided on the characters and the settings for each game.

Today, September Eighteenth!

Today we are finishing the game reviews we were suppose to do yesterday.

Yesterday, September Seventeenth, 2008

Yesterday, we reviewed games that were created by other students on Globaloria. Some of them were really good, and some were really bad. They helped me to get an idea of what kind of game I want to create.
