presenting the demo

I was nervous presenting my demo. I was happy with they way the demo turned out. I learned a lot in the process of creating this game and very happy I took this course.

assembling demo

It was fun working on my game word boxing. I had a lot of help and support from my instructor and my teammate Tigger.

adding sound

Adding sound was not that hard for me. It was fun and I am excited to see the game completed.

adding sound

adding sound to my game was easy and I enjoyed this part of developing the game

adding input mouse

This is complicated. I have to learn how to do this.

adding input keyboard

I havent had that much time to work on this. I plan on working on this this week.

adding animation

Im working on making the boxing ring and the boxers. This has been fun to do.

adding buttons

I found this part a little easier than adding scenes. It was fun decided on different colors and different button styles.

adding scenes

I found this assignment hard. The most challenging part was coming up with different scene ideas.

drawing a scene

I had difficulty with this part of the assignment. I found it frustrating. Im hoping with practice I become better at it.

playing to learn

It was fun playing other students games. It helped me come up with my concept for my game.

mini game

It was hard to make the mini game. The best part of the topic was the animals and food.  The worst part was the coding.

paper prototype

I thought it was very helpful to do the paper prototype assignment. I didnt change my idea. I actually was up to come up with more ideas.

paper prototype

I enjoyed the experience of paper prototyping. I like the concept part of video game design. I did make some changes to my prototype. I think I will probably still make changes as the paper prototyping progresses.

imaging your game

The concept of my games is an education boxing game. eEverytime a stick figure boxer in the game makes a hit the gamer will have so many seconds to fill in a word. The game is based on hangman. It is an educational game to teach children how to type and spell. It will also be useful in how to work a computer keyboard.

imaging your game

I am  the  most excited about the concept part of developing my game. Im also looking forward to learning
how to code. 

free time

 I play video games in my free time. Most of the time I play sports games on the xbox 360. I recently
have started to play on my pc, but I need to get a gaming computer before I really can enjoy all the acpects of video gaming on a pc. I bought homeland security for the pc the other day. I have noticed
the games sold for the pc are more educational than what is sold for consoles. I do think its important
that video game companys start making games that are more positive and educational.

favorite video game

My all time favorite video game, was the worlds most scariest police chases. It was on ps1. I loved the

genre, chasing bad guys, it was awesome. It was the game that got me interested in video game

developing. I would sit and think about how I would improve some parts of the game.

game review

In to my world was the least effective educational game that I played. I thought the game design was too plain.
I would make it to where you shoot the planets. I like the concept, but I think the design could have been improved.

game reviews

I found playing the games in flash interesting. The one I found the fun to play was heresy. The games reminded me of the old sega  and nintendo games. The game with the planets was very educational.

I wanted to create video games because I am curious about what all goes into developing a video game. I have been playing video games since I was about 4 years old. I play video games on xbox 360. My first gaming console was the Nintendo. My favorite games are rpg , grand theft auto and sport games. I want to create true life games.
I have been working on a concept of true life fd. Its a video game based on the fire department, but on the platform of grand theft auto.

first week of class

Im excited about the prospect of learning how to make video games. I want to make video games that are

fun and addictive in flash. Well, Im going to go for now, but I'll blog again soon.
