Object in the Sky!

The way I would make this event into a game is by creating what looks like a meteor and make it move around the background as if it was shooting around and make it gain points by getting something in a certain time.
I would focus on action for a genre, because its more interesting to have an adventure to play with and maybe another genre with that one as well.
My game would teach math equations that most of the grades have difficulty's with understanding.
The player would have to collect some items in a certain time, then move on an choose a topic to work with.
The hero would be an astronaut or scientist that would be discovering the meteor, and the enemy would be an alien trying to make you not get close to the meteor.
The type of animation the player would see would be keyboard control, and jumping. The player would not hear any sound.
The title of my game would be The Crazy Night because it was a crazy moment at a normal night.

Action Script is a programming language used in flash. The Action Script makes animation, images, and animated movies. We use it for coding in the symbols, for movement of characters. We can make the characters move by coding it a collision detection, keyboard control, or loping. You can have a timer or score scale or maybe both for the game you will make. You use the Action Script also to embed, you will also see functions. Mostly all this is, is drawing and animation. 

March of the Penguins

1. The penguins have to over come a lot of a challenges, like the weather and the fact that they have to wait for months and they all have to get together and warm each other, while that happens some of their eggs slip out and they end up being froze just with a second of being out in the cold.


2. There habitat is super cold, its a challenge for them because they have to wait for weeks while their partner goes out and get food while the one that stays with the egg is trying its best to keep it warm and also not let it fall. 


3. They have to adapt to being far away from the water because of the reason their predators will eat them, thats why they move far away from the water and it takes months for them to get food and go back and feed their partner. 


4. Theirs a period of time where their is no sunlight because of the reason the climate is to cold. The affects of this is that the weather gets even more colder then usual.


5. It is important that the grounds is solid because they will not be able to mate. The male will not be able to get on top of the female.

Mini Game

  Making a Mini Game is so easy, and that's because I have done this before. I like working on it because it can always help me on my game when I need to refresh my memory. The best part of making the mini game is that it helps you understand the code that the actions need. I like that the fact that I could go back and see the code for me to correct my errors. The easiest thing about the Mini Game is mostly adding the code but there's times you might get confused with other code. The worst part of the Mini Game is that some times the code does not work until you change things and make sure its correct.

2 Single Story 2011

What does it mean to have a 'single story' about a place or community?

It means to describe the life of that place or community. The way they live at that place, they ways the community is.

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?

I have heard that people that live in the East Austin are least or middle class citizens. Everyone things that we don't care about school, that we are all bad and don't like doing anything, but the things that they are missing is that are parents do there hardest for us to have a home, food, and also are education. People would learn more about are community if they would live here for about a few years and see how things were going to change for them. Most of the population here is Mexicans and Africans. People assume we all do drugs or sell them just because of are community but they should experiment and see all the story's they have heard are not true.

Describe a single story you have heard about another community. How did you learn that story? How could you find out more about that community?

I have heard that the North of Austin is the best side of Austin to live at because it is mostly were all the people visit or shop at. They might say there is not a lot of drug dealing. I learned this story by people that live in there. I think I would find out more information if I would visit it more or maybe even move up there.

How could a game let players experience many stories about a place or community?
A game would tell the players facts and also it would show how daily bases of that place or community looks like. It might even be better then writting a new aticle because it would be more fun and people would be more interested in it.

1 Cyberbully 2011

This is my first blog post of the 2011-2012 school year.

How does the main character feel about using Clicksters in the beginning of the film?
 Taylor at first was not sure about Clicksters, but after she found out that Scott was using it as well she decided to make her self the account.

What is her family situation?
Well her dad and mom are seperated. Her mom is super over protective with her, and also Taylor does not really get along with her brother.

What types of friendship does she have?
She had a normal, good friendship with her two best friends, but everything started to change when she made her Clicksters account.

When does the cyberbullying begin?
The cyberbullying began when she made her account, and it all started with Lindsay, the popular girl from school.

What is the result of the cyberbullying that Taylor experiences?
The result of the cyberbullying is people posted things that are not even true to her page, and also after a few days she lost her friends because of the things that were happening. The reason all this started is because of a guy named Jaimes that she had meet on Clicksters, he had posted that she had gave him STD.

What is the rest of the cyberbullying?
The rest of the cyberbullying is at school, Lindsay would say things that she would think were funny to say, but Taylor was not the only person that was going through this situation, there was a homosexual that was in the same situation.

What would you do if you were in Taylor's shoes?
If I were in her place I would of listed the people that were posting the comments and I would tell my mom to help me with the situation, also I would delete my account so the problem would not get worst.


How does Taylor react to the mean comments people keep posting about her?
She reacts shocked, she is not even aware of what people post for a little while because her mom had taken the computer away, because she posted a mean comment back to Lindsay. Well after a while that the cyberbullying began Lindsay and her friends had posted a video, acting out that Taylor was a slut, so Taylor got tierd of all those things that she tryied killing her because no one liked her and didnt wanna hang out with her, not even her best friends.


Does she ever try to stop people from posting insults? What could she have done differently?
At first she thought it was funny because she was already use to Lindsay saying insult, but then when everyone was insulting her she told her mom for her. So her mom tells her to delete the account but Taylor does not want to because she wants to talk more to Scott. Well if I were her I would of lisen to my mom and delete my account, maybe even move schools so things could changes.


How do you think Taylor felt about her friends betraying her?
Taylor felt lonley, she thought her friends would be there for her but she thought wrong because they said for her to not hang out with her no more because they do not want to be called things either.


What kind of changes do you see Taylor experience through the film?
Well she started getting close to her mom, she grew, she does not judge no one, she actually realized that there are people that have similar promblems to hers.
