This week we learned how to add interaction to our game by adding code that allows the player to use the arrow keys to move. We also uploaded a new demo of our game and registered for the Globaloria civics contest.

Thoughts about the civics game

I found it a little difficult to think of a good topic for my civics game, but eventually after a few tries we've thought of a great game idea. Throughout my learning experience I've had alot of fun and I can't wait to complete this project.

This week we edited our game, and the people who gave us flash came. We showed them our games, and how they worked, shared our ideas with them. They explained the contest and what we could win. (A labtop with flash) I wonder what kind of labtop? Oh well ill win and find out! haha

Animation

1. The simple of being able to make pictures move is amazing!
2. Yes video games would not be the same without animations, there actually wouldn't be any games of the sorts without animations.
3.

This week we learned about navigation through our flash games. It was complicated at first but with some trial and errors methods I got my buttons working. And we also had to play some civics games, and they had some bugs. For example I kept getting the newspaper screen of death, where a newspaper would come up in a different language and it wouldn't go away. And the other game didn't capture my interest.
Here is my video on my civics topic: The second amendment.

My Civic game

1.My game is a FPS that has civics questions in it. The civics questions are questions about the law, mostly amendments. For example For our first question we used is the 6th amendment.
2.Players will have to answer the questions corretly if they want to live, but if you die then you will have to start over. Thus you will have to learn the material in order to survive.
3.Our game is called Civic Duty: 53,595 infected lawyers, which has to do with the Law so you must learn some laws if you wish to survive the zombie apocalypse. It teaches you the laws you must follow in order to be a good upstanding citizen.

Week 10/5/09 - 10/8/09

This week was insane with all the things we did plus all the Wiki nonsense, I was confused, but I finally got it with the help of some friends. This week we just edited and learned some stuff about flash.

"your games" post

Team name - Aluminum Fighters
Members- Alex Bennett, Ethan Langer
Subject- A FP Zombie Shooter (with some civics)
3 Facts- Well I did not know that there was 27 Amendments, I thought there was 26.
I also did not know that you could repeal an amendment like the 21st amendment. I did not know that you could add any more Amendments to the bill of rights, even though it would take a while.

Week 9-28-09 - 10-2-09

We made our videos explaining our flash games that we are making. We drew eveything on construction paper then recoreded it using a handycam. Now the video is done and everything is going according to plan. Just got to learn the code to make the game.
