Knowledge on Our Topic

My partner and I have learned a lot about our topic in the process of making our game. We have learned about the endangered animals in our game. We've learned things such as why they are endangered, where they live, and what we can do to help them. We chose this topic because it seemed like an interactive topic that children would be interested in learning about. If I could talk to "knowledge producers" I wouldn't have anything to reccomend to them because I have learned a lot and am very satisfied with the knowledge that I have acquired.  I feel that I could improve my learning process by paying closer attetion to what I'm learning and concentrating harder.

The two main flash topics my partner and I will use in our game is the text box and the rectangle tool because our game is going to be a series of minigames. The text box will be used for the next buttons, the titles, the intros and directions, and some of the games. The rectangle tool will be used for some of the games and the next buttons. We have a great learning topic.  It is appropiate for the players that will be playing our game and it is very simple.  The game is not confusing at all.  To improve our game, we could put more action in it so that the player could be more involved.

Drawing A Scene

We have just completed the drawing a scene section.  It didn't take very long, since it's pretty simple.  Researching the information for our game was also easy.  We mainly used Wikipedia and other internet resources.  The knowledge that we gained was also very useful for every day information.  There were plenty of new concepts that we have learned so far in the process of making our game demos.  Such as the concept of the endangered animals species list.  This lists every animal that is already endangered and also animals that are in danger of becoming endangered. The information that we have learned from our research has greatly helped us throughout making our game.  

Planning Your Game

My partner and I work very well together.  We split up the roles so nobody has to do anymore than the other.  So far, we haven't had that much trouble with any of the assignments.  Most of them are just time consuming.  The hardest assignment yet has been the mini-game project because it was really confusing.  The thing I look forward to the most working with my team would just be having someone there to help me with everything.  I work better collaboratively so it really helps.  The greatest challange about collaborative work would probably be making decisions together based on each others opinions and getting along.  My partner and I don't have a problem with getting along.  And as far as our opinions go, we both seem to consider each of our opinions fully so I don't think we'll have any problems.

Finishing the Mini-Game Project

It is such a relief to finish the mini-game project.  It feels amazing to know that I'm done with it.  I don't usually play games in my free time.  This topic doesn't really give me a new perspective about playing games cause it's just so complicated and confusing.  But, it is definitely a relief to be finally finished with the mini-game project.  It took so long.

My Progress in Globaloria

So far, globaloria has been pretty good.  The only thing I don't like is how confusing it all is.  For example, the mini game project.  I really don't like it. Most of the time it doesn't even work when you put the code in. I don't have any patience so you can imagine how frustrating this is for me. I'm sure I'll get the hang of everything soon, though.
