Single Story

1. What does it mean to have a 'single story' about a place or community? steriotypes about people or places
2. Describe a single story you have heard told about your community. What is missing from that story? How could people learn more about that community? There is some bad and good steriotypes about McDowell County

4. How could a game let players experience many stories about a place or community? How good the game teaches the players.

Globoloria

     I am exited about a new year of globoloria, My partners and I hope to finish a math game. I am scared about losing my fkash drive like I did last year. I lost our whole game last year and had to start over. I hope to accomplish other students wanting to learn more about math. Although, I am exited about creating a new game. The game I played "Temporal Taxonomy" I learned that putting sound in games might make the game funner. My partners and I might try to put sound in our game this year.

Teambuilding games

     I think that the Teambuilding activities are fun. I also think that they will help us to work better with our partners. It is also very fun too learn how to trust your partners. I think that the Teambuolding activities are very fun.

My game and the globey award games

     There is a few differences between my game and the globey award games. Some of the globey awards had sound effects. We didn't have time to put sound in our game.
     Eventhough, it would have made our game a lot better. Most of the globey awards had more levels than our game had. We just had platform games in our game.
     Although I learned to add more stuff in our game this year.

How my partener and I Do on our game

     My partener and I work good together on our game. Right now we are working on buttons and snippet. We still are making plans for our game. We've been deciding on a lot of stuff for our game. We have been working a lot on our game lately. Although I think we are going to decide on a platform game and probably.

If I had more time

     If I had more time on our game I would finish a lot more stuff. I would probably work more on the graphics and research. I didn't do that much research on our game either. I could also have more levels in our game too. We could put more layers and make the graphics better. I would research more about the holocaust and anne frank ,so We could put more information in the game.

Spring break

     Over the spring break I will probably not do to much. I might even work on my wiki page some. My family and I might go fishing. We usually all go to either berwind lake or R.D. Baily lake. I might play some games too, or watch some t.v. I could also, maybe work on my globoloria team wiki. Although, I can not wait until spring break.

If our game presentation was today

     If our game presentation was today we would still have some work to do. In our game we still have a lot more stuff to do. We have about half of our game finished. Right now My partner and I lost our flash drive so we only have about half o ou game.
     We still have to do some coding. We also have some glitches in our game that we have to fix. We have some of our tweens are glitching.
     If our game presentation was today we would still have some work to do. In the end I think we would do good on the real game presentation.

Things we need to work on

     In our game we still have a lot of things to work on. Even on some things we need to learn how to do. Espesially on the new flash.
     We need to espesially need to learn how to do some more things on flash. Like learning how to draw some stuff and we even need to learn more on our coding skills. I think it is very hard to put all the codes were they need to go.  I think that we could all also improve on a lot of things too from flash, to teamwork.

What in our game is going good

     In our game we have a lot of ups and downs actions in our game. Such as some of the coding and some of our tweens won't work.
      The good things are the buttons works, and our drawings are pretty good. The funnest part about our game was the hit tests. I liked playing our game and seeing if everything works. Even though some parts were hard to do.

New ideas for my game

     Since from the beganing of the year and now, I have changed some of the ideas about my game. Such as maybe making a platform game.
     My partener and I was thinking about making a game where enemies are chasing the character. Now we were thinking more about changing our game into a platform game. Maybe having tweens and making stuff loop. Like on our mini game and platform game, and we are still changing stuff in our final game.

The biggest struggle in my game

     The biggest struggle in my game would probably be the codes. I have been taking parts from my platform game to put in my final game. It has also been hard to find the right codes for my game. Like, how fast your character moves or hit tests.
     I also have been taking parts off of my mini game project. Such as some of the codes. I took one of the  codes to make some of my enemies and characters loop.

platform game

     Our platform games were pretty hard to create. I thought the hardest part was coding. When I got finished coding I had a couple of things wrong.
     I have played other peoples game and they was hard to. They all had different gravity levels though,So they could jump higher.
     Even though It was a little hard I still liked creating a game.
   

Two things I've accomplished in globoloria

     I have accomplished Two major things in globoloria. My partner and I have finished our game demo, we have finished part of our game,
     The first major thing that I have accomplished in globoloria is our game demo. Our game demo was a little hard, but the hardest part was presenting. We both had to explain the what our game was going to be about and our progress on our game. Although, It was a little hard and challenging it was fun.
     The second major thing I've accomplished is I've finished a part of our game. We are doing a game on the holocaust and about Anne Frank. We are making the info and how to play scenes right now. So we are still planning out our game.

.

Teamwork

     My partner and I work pretty good in globoloria. We both participate in everything in globoloria. I like having a partner to work on projects.  It makes things a lot easier on me and her I think. I also think we both like being a team. Some things are hard and some are fun. We also both have jobs in our game, such as she does mostly the drawing and I mostly do the adding sound and buttons. If we have any questions we would ask each other. Though I like my partner and think that we get along fine.

What I like about globoloria and what I don't

     I have a lot of things that I like and a few things that I dislike. I like that we get two periods to work in globoloria. I don't like the learning log to good.
     It takes a long time to work in globoloria. For example bloging, bloging takes me a long time to blog. or uploading codes takes a long time. Thats why I like having two periods for globoloria.
     I dislike the learning log because you have to update it every day. Sometimes it gets a little annoying. Even though it is a grade.     

What makes a good presentation?

     It is very hard making a good presentation. You have to do a lot of things. Try to talk clearly, don't have much errors in your presentation,and be facing the crowd.
     The first thing you need to do during your presentation is try to talk clearly. It is very hard for the audience to hear you if you don't.
     The second thing you need to do during a good presentation is to not have much errors in your presentation. Sometimes the audience might not understand the writting.
     The third but not last thing you need to do is be facing the crowd. The crowd might not think you have a good presentation.

Game demo

     Our game demo went pretty good. I think the hardest part was when they asked questions. We took a little time trying to set up our game demo.
     On our game we issolated the different parts of our game. We had some errors in our game demo like subject verb,spelling and punctuation. We are also having a little trouble uploading the game demo on our team page.
     In all, I believe our game demo went good.
