Updating Our Team Pages

For the past two days in Globaloria, we've been updating our team pages.  But my group, the Redneck Senioritas, was already caught up before everyone else because we always do what we're supposed to! So we've just been making minor changes to our page and we've started working some more in Flash.

Making Buttons and Cursors

For the past two weeks in Globaloria, we've been learning how to make buttons and cursors in Flash.  We learned how to make different layers of actions, graphics, and text, and also how to make the buttons work.  Making the cursors were very interesting.  Learning how to use Flash is pretty awesome; it's cool to see how games are actually made.

What we learned in flash last week

In class last week, we learned how to do some different things on Flash.  We learned how to draw different things and how to make shapes, and also how to change colors and sizes.  We also learned how to insert keyframes and use the timeline, and how to lasso objects to make them move. 

Our Game Purpose

The main purpose of our game is to inform teenage girls about the harmful effects of cosmetics and tanning beds on skin over time.  We are going to make sure our game is not a quiz game by incorporating movement of the main character in the game.  She will walk from place to place.  We have our demo, prototype, and videos finished. 

Finishing our Paper Prototype

The name of our game is "The Chemistry of Cosmetics".  Ellie, Bryanna, and I are in a group together, and we are called the Redneck Senioritas.  Our game meets STEM by informing teenagers about the harmful chemicals in cosmetics, and the harmful effects tanning beds have on the body.  In our game, a girl named Madeline is preparing for prom.  Througout the game, she goes to the tanning bed, buys her prom dress, gets her nails done, and buys makeup.  To play the game, you guide Madeline through her preparations and help her make good and safe decisions about the products she uses.  You win the game by making all the right choices, and winning prom queen. 

Our very interesting experience with our substitute teacher

Last week, Mrs. Leef was gone for two days, so we had a substitute teacher.  Let's just say she's not the brightest crayon in the box. Between her cutting her hair at her desk and arguing with all the guys, it was quite hilarious!

What I've Learned and Liked About Creating Our Game

Learning how to create the bunny game on Flash has been very interesting!  I've never used Flash before, so learning how to use it was pretty cool.
