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.

Winding Down!

                                                            Winding Down

My teams name is the Jolly Ranchers. :)
The name of are game is the Glaciers Dangers.
Are game is based on the glaciers, the reason is that there is to much CO2 in the air that is making the animals that adapted to them will become endangered!
We have completed all the scenes of are game.
Most of are team page is complete, we just need to add a few things.
Well we do not have to complete a lot of work, we are almost done with this assingment.
What I can do to finish before friday is for me to work on are team page.
The grade I would give myself would be a 90, because I have worked really hard and I admite I have improved with my skills.
The things I have learn this whole year are a lot but the main one is to how to work better with animations in flash and how to add code.
The main thing I am proud of from Globaloria is that I really improved and I might have a chanc to make a amazing game in the future.
The way I can improve next years is by improving working with flash, just like I did this year. I do trust on myself I would succed that goal.

                                                       Nintendo 3Ds


Image retrieved  from: multiplayerblog.mtv.com
Circle Pad is combined with the touch screen, traditional buttons, camera,  microphone input, and advanced motion control of the Motion Sensor and Gyro Sensor, the potential is extraordinary. The amasing thing that the new Nintendo inclueds is the Motion and Gyro Sensors. As the players are twisting their systems or moving them up or down, their system will respond instanly.

Has to camaras to see in 3D just as we do.  Letting us have 3D pictures as well. The screens let you see well, if some users use glasses they will not need them.
The new nintendo comes with its own charging cradel. You can leave the nintendo charging over day or night having to put it in sleep mode for it to maintains its power.
It also has a 3D Depth Slider allowing the player to immediately adjust the 3D settings on the Nintendo 3DS system. The 3D effect can also be turned down completely,  Nintendo 3DS games and applications can be played in 2D, and look better than any Nintendo handheld before it. The cost of the new Nintendo is $249.99

My game is about saving the animals that live locaded to where the glacers are located at. The homes of so many animals are being distroided. So the celebrity I would attach to my game would be Prince Royce because he is a bachata singer. I really love the way his musics sounds. Maybe with him in are game some fans of him will play are game and learn about the danger thats ocurring in with the glacers. If we maybe we have him say something about are game on tv or at concerts he has there will be a posability a lot of fans will play are game and see what we are trying to educate the world.


I would market my game by going on shows and maybe even on tv. I think with attaching Prince Royce we will really catch peoples atention.
