Adding Input II: Mouse ~ April 8

WELLLLLLL, (don't take off points for that grammar because it's emphasizing what I'm thinking in my head) my game is in the Civics Knowledge Community.  My game topic is about West Virginia trivia.  So the problem is that there is no other person who is doing their game about this kind of West Virginia facts. I have started my game and it's coming on pretty well. I have till the end of this month to get it done and I am crunching time! I'll get it done though, I AM DETERMINED! 

Adding Input I: Keyboard ~ April 8

So far I am really enjoying my Game Design II class. I find all of the assignments to be fairly easy. I like all of the people in my class because they are all very entertaining. I like working in flash. I do because I really like drawing in it. In real life I have a really hard time drawing and it never looks like what I want, but in flash it helps me out a little and so everything I draw looks really good. I also like the fact that you can bring characters to life with coding. It's fun to know that you made the character come to life.

Adding Animation ~ April 6

This is an animation that relates to my game.  This flowing flag has a West Virginia state seal on it.  My game is about W.V. and it's nature.  So of course the West Virginia state seal relates to a West Virginia game :)

Assembling Your Demo ~ April 6

I think I have learned more about the topic of my game while making the demo. I have learned a lot more about the animals and different types of nature that West Virginia has in it.  I acquired this knowledge by researching and taking notes about it and then relaying it into my game demo.

If I talked to the journalists or any researcher or writer I would tell them that they need to make a West Virginia Nature information page that is more interesting than what they have now. Most of the plain out information sites I find are just words and I cannot sit there and read forever. That's not interesting. I WANT PICTURES! :)

When it comes to Game Design classes, the whole curriculum is a self learning experience. When in this class you go through the assignments by yourself and read to figure out how to do things. If you mess up you look up tutorials so you can teach yourself what to do. This class requires a lot of self motivation. If you don't want to do this stuff, you won't enjoy or maybe even not pass the class.
