Game Demo Presentation

What I need to do to make my presentation better
The thing I could do to make my presentation better is right a short speech on index cards so that I won't be reading every thing on the game demo slide I could also leave hints and tips for me to look at if I in case I forget something.

Another thing that I could do is use different facial expressions and talk with a exiting tone in my voice this should show that I'm interested in my speech and my audience will be to. 

Game Skeleton

What is good
What is good about our game is for starters it is complete.
Me and my partner are really thankfull that it is complete.
Another thing that I like about our game skeleton is all of the colors that was used in it you will not get board while reading our game skeleton.   
A third thing I like about our game demo is the words nothing that was important was left out and the non important things are there too like little facts and things like that about our game.

Add Something

The things that we need to add to our game skeleton is on the game part is more color I think to get a better grade we will need to add some more graphics.

What to do and Not to do

Mumble, Mumble,Mumble
One of the things that you shouldn't do while presenting
your game is (mumble). If you mumble while you presenting a document or what ever your presenting it will cause your audience to get distracted from your speech it will cause your audience to not be as interested as you might be.

Straight Up

Something that you should do is stand up if you stand up straight and speak loud and clear you audience will be interested in your speech just as you will be. 

Don't slouch
If you slouch this will tell the audience that you are not as interested in your speech as you should be. Another reason not to slouch while talking is mumbling . Slouching will cause your speech to be blurred together and make the speech to seem shorter than it truly is. 

Expressions 
While presenting your speech us different facile expressions
this will show your audience that you are interested in your speech and the your enjoy presenting it.

These are a few tips on how to present a speech with out showing your audience that your not interested.

ThanksGiving

Before Thanksgiving I am thinking about what im going to do. The things I am going to befor thanksgiving is hold my baby brother and play my zelda twillight princess game. Another thing I am going to is watch videos with my family and hide from the snow under my favorite blanket. Play with my sister talk to my uncle,aunt,mom,dad,sister brother pawpaw. About my christmas list and tell my granfma and grandpaw anout what babby Maddy looks like. This is what I will do before thanksgiving.

Team Work

1 Good thing
Me and Jt are working good together I like that he would help me or go get me something that I needed to work on it with. While we were working on the paper prototype it was pretty easy and all. Jt works best when I'm watching him. 

1 Bad thing
The worst thing that can go wrong is Jt siting with mikey Jt won't work at all with mikey at all. And it makes me mad that for a week I have been askig him to anwser the questions on the team page and he says he dosen't know how but he refuses to ask the teacher how to and  am getting really upset. While I am working on the game he is making basketball platers shoot hoops.

1 Good Thing

 Another good thing about Jt is that he is quiet and dosen't talk or get in troble alot so that means that our team dosen't get in trible alot.

Papper Prototypeing

• The Big Idea: Describe your team's game topic. What is the most important concept you want your players to learn?
• Just basically learn about the Egyptian  and about their gods and a few vocabulary words. 
• 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 each Just talked about a few ideas that we like and things we knew about and decided witch is best then started developing the game  
• Roles & Responsibilities: Tell us more about your team process. Please each talk about your specific roles, and how you work together.
• Research: What kind of research went into the way you will express the game topic?
  Just finding out about things for our game from text books and google online and offline asking the history teachers and every thing like that.
• 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?
  NO the way you move your character hasn't changed at all. The way you would move the character is with the arrow keys up to go forward and   down to duck right to go right and left to go left.
• Mastering Flash: What Flash resources have been most helpful in your learning so far, and why? How did you locate these resources?
  Well the flash we have been using the most is the cs.5 version and I found the paint bucket to be most help full. The way I have found out about the paint bucket is the cs.3 version when we were doing our mini game I needed to fill in the rabbit and I was just playing with it and I found and learned how to use the paint bucket. 

• Overcoming Challenges: What curriculum topic has been most difficult for you so far? How did you overcome this difficulty? Really the loading screen I actually had to get a friend to help me with it but I have finally completed it.     

Not a Quiz Game

In Globaloria it is not all about asking questions in your games. Some of it is about how much fun you have to and the action in your game.

The way our game is not a quiz game is because we have really fun actions. For example on your way to beating the game you will have to doge falling objects like books clothes and furniture.In our game their will be tasks  that you will have to over come like maybe a door getting stuck and a octopus getting stuck to you. 

 Our game is not a quiz game because their are fun and exiting parts to it you wont be board about having to answer to many questions at once. Their will be challenging parts that you wont get on your first try and you'll have to keep trying and trying to get the hang of it. And that is it our game is not a quiz game.

Globaloria Know

How globaloria has been up to know .

Globaloria has been frustrating and difficult but  I am not ready to quit. Globaloria has been sort of fun though we have worked on mini games and I foung out that they are really hard. I still only have my first step uploaded but I am working on them.

Soon we will be working on a papper prototype. I wonder what that will be like.

Globaloria has been a ton of fun to like when the 8th grade comes in the is always this calm happy flow in the room.
Over all globaloria has been great and awsome.

A Single Story

What it means to have a single story

What it means to have a single story is to think you know about a person in a place until you know every thing their is to know about that person.

 A story about your home town 

I have herd a story at my hometown the story dose tell about some parts of the town but not all the parts that make it what it is.

How Could people learn more about this town

I think if people come and visit it that they will become more enlightened and realize the good parts about it and might want to live here.

Tell about a story from another town you've heard

I have herd some stories about Gilbert I heard that it is a terrible place it floods every year and every year people loose their homes but I have also heard that it is a great place with tons of things to do and that their are beautypagents and parties. 

How Much did you learn from that story 

Not really much because of the changing tales. 

How could you learn more about that community

Go and take a vistit and read a book about it

How could a game let players experience many stories about a place or community?

It could give them a better visual idea about what it looks like and what kind of people live their if they can not visit.

  

Mini Game

Yesterday in globaloria we wrote a report on the tree octopus. It was very interesting and I didn't know if was real at first I thought it was a joke but our teacher was not joking about it at all still even though he was not joking the tree octopus is not real at all. Though some people think it is and I do not know why. First thing first we had to find a web site the site that I use was http://zapatopi.net/treeoctopus/. The 2nd thing we had to do was find out were it lived. 3rd we had to find out what it ate. 4th why it is endangered.

The next thing that we did in globaloria was the mini game project. During the mini game project we had to go over and review the mini game template. First I played the mini game that we were going to have to make. Next I became familiar with the codes that you have to put on flash in order to get the parts to move. Finally I reviewed  the way to get better pictures by tracing them then deleting the first layer which would be the starting picture.  

Playing to learn

The other day in globaloria we had to play games thats a pretty cool assignment in my opinon. We had to think about ideas we want for our games and play other games for ideas to. But the two games that I played were, WV animal rescue and Gulf coast bird rescue. WV animal rescue in this game you have to anwser trivia questions and pick out the bad habits of animal owners. In bird animal rescue you have to save all of the seagulls from the evil oil slik. In my game I would like to  add the feature of the water from WV Gulf coast rescue and the animals.  I have still not decided on what my game will be about.

Globaloria

Globaloria is going great I love this class soo much it is the best. It's sort of confusing considering I just got my account mine and my friend's Faith got stuck but it's okay now. I know how to change stautes I think that is how to spell it. In globaloria it is lound every thing is echoing with thoughts you can almost taste what their thinking. Though when it's quiet I have herd silence quite this loud so I pray for some one to speak. Their are no bitter sweet moments in globaloria but their are a lot of headackes. I love it anyway can't wait to learn more bye.
