Extended Break

Over this very long extended Holiday break I kept myself very busy. On Sunday I remember hanging out with friends the whole day, knowing we were not going to have school due to the huge threat of snow. Emily stayed with me that night not knowing that there was going to be 2 feet of snow on the ground the next morning. She was stuck at my house for 4 days after that because she was unable to drive home with the terrible road conditions. But no complaints there. We woke up almost every morning, got dressed and walked in the snow. It felt like we were in a zombie movie, we were the only people out because of all the snow, it just felt like the world was going to end. She went home 2 days before Christmas, those 2 days were very blurry. Christmas was fun, i love my new touch screen camera, all my hats, my art stuff, and my zune although I almost killed someone trying to get it to work. New Years eve i spent with friends. We went on a random roadtrip, as always, got lost but made it home to watch the stupid ball drop. Then we went to Baltimore randomly. For the rest of the break its all blurry thanks to all the snow, but i had tons of fun, so thats all that matters, right?

The grade i think i should receive on this website is a D-, because i havnt done much on it...but ive done ive tried to make it as unique as possible.

Presentation

Although i wasnt as prepared as i hoped...it went rather well i thought. I never get nervous so it didnt really matter to me to just go up in front of people and give my presentation. I could understand if i didnt get a good grade, because it was late and it wasnt as 'serious' as it should have been, im aware of this. But seriously, being serious (lol) is so exhausting so i thought i would make it less boring and put my own spin on it.

Game Design Exam Blog

Our new game is called "What are they thingkin'?" It teaches the player the basic believes of each political party. It will give you clues as to how to chose the correct choice of candidate for president. Valerie, Travis, and myself will be working hard to make it all it can be. And i would like to add im very happy with them being in my group, we all do work; no slacking, we all get along fine; so its not always boring, and we communicate well together; which will make making the game much easier.

October 23

Working with dreamweaver I've learned a lot of things. In class I've learned how to make a rollover images (pretty neat), I've learned how to make borders, and how to use design. I like dreamweaver a lot. And id much rather keep using it than some other program.

Paper Prototyping

What do you like about paper prototyping? What don't you like? Why?

I like paper prototyping because it helps you imagine what your game or web page will look like, its a big help.
