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.

Our inspiration was the game "learn the bones" we really wanted to do something dealing with the body, because its interesting and we had great ideas for the game.


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.

Imagine your game

  • What are you most excited about as you start making your game? 
Im most excited about learning about stuff as i make this game.  My group seems very cool so i have a feeling we will all get along and help each other the best we can. 

Mini Game

Was it hard to make your mini game? What was the best part of this topic? The worst part?
        I found the mini game to be a little difficult, only because the directions werent as clear to me as other directions in the past were. The best part was doing the coding just because it was simple and easy to follow. The worst part? Um...everything besides that. =]


Do you play games in your free time? Which ones do you play and why are they your favorite?
        I actually do not play mini games in my free time, nor do i ever. Im not a big game fan, to be honest. Im terrible at pretty much any game you put in front of me, with the exception of maybe mario or pac man. =]]

What is the most important element of your personal web site?

Html coding

I find html coding very easy and helpful. Its very important not to make any errors in the coding, because it wont work as expected. One of the advantages of knowing html coding is knowing how to attract people to the page you are editing with certain effects. My favorite html coding ive learned is how to change the font color and the style of the font because i use it often. I would like to crate a personal webpage using all sorts of html coding.
