April the Thirtieth 2010

~I was excited on Monday because I found out that a photo I had taken is going to be published in the "Best Photography of 2010" book. My biography will also be in the book. I haven't been to school for a while. I've been really sick. It's good to be back and now I'm ready to continue working on our game. Today we are going to finish presenting our game progress. I don't know which teams have gone yet, because I wasn't here.~

April the Twenty-Sixth 2010

~Today I uploaded a "Facts Screen" for our game. Our players need to know the reason for our game. We want to teach them good habits that will help the environment. If children learn habits early in life, the habits will more than likely stay with them. Wednesday Mrs. Neal is going to have each team present to the class what we have completed so far. I think my team is on the right track. I think we will have a nice game by the end of the year. I'm excited to see what all the other teams have completed.~

April the Twenty-Second 2010

Earth Day, Earth Day, It's the Earth's Birthday!


~Today I finished the new character for our game. I made this little lightbulb character called Lightbulby. He will be on the TV in the house of our game. I still haven't figured out how to do this. I think it will be a nice thing to add to our game. Once I've figured out how to put him in our game, I will upload my progress to my team page. I'm excited to see how our game is going to turn out! ~

April the Twentieth 2010

~Today I am working on another character for our game. There is a TV in one of the rooms of the house in our game. I wanted to put a video on the TV. I changed my mind and decided to make a cartoon character called "Lightbulby". He will be playing on the TV when you enter the living room. He will just be kind of dancing around on the screen. I wanted a character that would fit into our game. I think that a lightbulb character will fit into our game well. Once I've finished working on him, I'll upload him to our game page.~

April the Nineteenth 2010

~Today I finished the house part of our game. I think it looks good. I need to fix some of the actionscript though. I have multiple things in each room that are clickable. When you don't click them in the right order, it goes to the wrong screen. I don't know how to fix this, but I'm trying to figure it out.~

April the Sixteenth 2010

~Yesterday I did the interview with David. I think it went well. Today I'm still finishing up the house for our game. There's some actionscript I need to fix, but other than that I'm getting along fine. It's a lot easier this year since I already know a lot about actionscript. Last year we had to learn actionscript and flash. This year I already know how to use flash and actionscript. It's coming in really handy. I've realized lately that it's a whole lot easier with three people in a team. Last year we only had two people in each team. We're getting things finished a whole lot faster this year. Each member of my team is making a different section of the game. Once we merge all of our flash files, I think we will have a really good game.~

April the Fifteenth 2010

~Today we are continuing the interviews with David. Yesterday they filmed some of us working on our flash and our WIKI's. Today we are going to finish the interviews. I hope we all do well on the interviews. I hope we don't run out of things to say. I am still working on getting the house together for our game. I have all the rooms working, but I still want to add more objects to each of the rooms. I could even add a hallway, closet, basement, or an attic or something.~

April the Thirteenth 2010

~Today I am still working on the house scene for our game. I made the outside of the house. Now I'm working on each room of the house. I'm making it where you can click on a room, then it will take you to the room. When you get there, you can click on various items in the room that need to be fixed. One example is in the bathroom there is a bright light bulb. You can click on the lightbulb and it will go dark. You can also turn the running water off. I'm finished with the bathroom and now I'm working on the living room. I made a lamp that you can turn off and I made a TV. I'm going to make a little video on the TV if I can figure out how to do it. I'm excited to see how our game is going to turn out.~
