HEY EVERYBODY!!!! CHECK THIS OUT!!!!

I found an article on Wikipedia about ActionScript. It is very interesting, and after I read it I had a basic understanding of just what ActionScript is. I knew that it was a form of coding for games and things, but that was the extent of my knowledge. Check it out, look through it, and you'll have an idea of what all this is about. The link is below.

We did do something today!!

I played a great game in the "Play to Learn" section of the wiki called "The Reconstructors: Medical Mysteries". It took a lot of work to make, and for an educational game, it's kinda cool. The art is obviously hand drawn, and there are a few bugs in the programming (ie. The doors in the testing section will open over and over again if continuously clicked), but those things add to the charm and feel, and makes the game not give off a professional aura, which I think is very important, because if the students think that they won't be able to make good quality games unless they become professionals and spend years working at it, they won't even try. Kudos to the developer!

My Second Post

Yea. So my class is going along really slow. The anxiety is killing me! I want to start the process! =^_^= So today, I'm doing to post about...nothing yet. I haven't done anything productive. I haven't really been given much direction. I've had lots of ideas for games before, and I have a little experience in animation (not through Flash). Truth be told, I never knew that this class would be Globaloria. It surprised the heck out of me! I thought it was only digital imaging. I was kinda mad because Chez had told me that her class was going to be doing it, and then BAM! I'm in a Globaloria project! I only have a few issues, but they aren't anything that can really be helped.

Today, we have reviewed the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. Nothing special there. What I'm really thinking about is actually beginning to plan my game making process.

Ms. Cordle just assigned us reading the Privacy Policy and stuff as homework and said that she is giving us a test on it tomorrow! I REALLY hope she isn't serious.

So....yeah. That is my post for today. I might have to post again later, but that depends on whether we do more stuff...

My First Post

LoL. Alright, so this is going to be my blog. As of right now, it has to be about this Globaloria thing, which I'm really excited for, since I'm going to be learning how to make a Flash game. It's a really good suprise, since I'm going to Marshall in the fall for Game Development! Anyway, I needed to test drive this bad boy, get my feet wet, and all of that funky music. If anyone is reading this, after this class I'll be using this blog to...well...blog, or something, but until then, expect more things to come about this. OOOHHH I'm really excited!!!
