Adding Buttons ~ March 9

There isn't any other students who are doing a game about West Virginia so I searched and found a link that pertains to what my game is. Here is the link. I think this resource is useful because it has a lot of information and beautiful pictures about West Virginia nature. The most useful thing is the pictures because I can study and design my game stye after it! Below is a picture from the site.



Adding a Scene ~ March 8


I think making games in sequences are very important. If you don't then the player doesn't know what's going on! I will be using sequences in my game, it will go from the title to the instructions to level one, two, and three. Then the vacation spot at the end so you know the game is over. A game I played in Playing to Learn was that game about how to make the right choices called What Would You Do?. You read conversations and chose what you wanted your characters to say so you could follow along and be in the story.

Drawing a Scene ~ March 3

What I learned isn't so much something I didn't know and just recently learned how to do. It's more like realizing something I never saw before! What I learned was how awesome Tweens are!  I first learned how to do Tweens in Digital Imaging and all we did was make a ball bounce and shift shapes. For my drawing a scene I had my clouds get bigger and smaller, make my text "come in to" the screen, and make another text move up and down.  If you go to My Projects you can see how cool it is! I was excited!  I didn't use any sources to figure out my blog. I did forget how to do Tweens but I figured it out. For my personal learning technique it's better for me to learn my figuring things out, as well as "trial and error."
