Man....

So...the keyframes and stuff I've put down on paper were actually meant to be on the computer, so that means that I'm going to have to redue everything I wrote in Microsoft word and paint an all that jazz. It's really annoying, but it has to be done...

Updates

I've missed quite a bit of class this week due to holidays, dentist appointments, and assemblies. We finally finished moving all the new-ish computers into the room and getting every thing situated, but none of them have flash so we're falling far behind schedual and came to terms with the fact that we probably won't finish our games this year.
While waiting for flash to be installed on all of the computers we've been filling out information about our games such as team intros, what's meant to be learned from it, and what kind of qualities make our game unique.
Jeffery's also been fooling around with the music that's going into the game and helping me get some of the information down. Hopefully we can go back to flash soon and it'll be faster and better than what we were dealing with on our old computers.

"Drawing a Scene" activity

We were told in our drawing a scene course to list a new idea or concept I've learned about my game topic since I started this course and in all honesty I really haven't learned anything new about the B.P. oil spill. Ever since we started the "Drawing a Scene" course I've just been focused on learning everything I can about flash like what tool does what, how to draw on it, how to add animation, and a bunch of other stuff. I've learned a lot from the tutorials on the wiki and the video tutorials on Adobe tv though. They're very reliable because they're made to help us understand how to work flash. Why would any one want to mislead us with wrong information especially since they were made by the Globaloria team and the company that make the flash player.

It's been a while...

It's been a while since I've actually posted anything on my  blog. We didn't have any school on Monday and Tuesday due to a busted water pipe, I was sick Wendesday, and on Thursday blogger was down.
Recently there's been some new computers being moved into our class and it's cause a bit of chaos. We probably won't be able to continue on in flash for a while, but it gives us time to read up on things such as flash timelines and key frams and aslo working on improving our learning logs and blogs.
Yesterday I spent the day with my team mate, Jeffery, reading about key frames and the timeline on a tutorial. I thought it was really helpful although with out getting to try it out I don't know if I've fully grasped what it was trying to teach me.
Today we were told to check out Ally's learning log to compare it to ours. Her's is more straight to the point than mine. It shows every thing she's done when she's done it, while mine tends to ramble off about things I think. In the future I'll be sure to cut it down and stick to telling what I've been doing.

Flash, flash, flash....

Yesterday was a snow day so we didn't do anything obviously. The other day we learned how to use the pen tool to copy pictures of cartoon characters into our game. If I did everything right it was pretty easy.

So...

We've been watching flash tutorials on Adobe T.V. the past week, and it's been pretty helpful. I've played with things in flash that I've never got the chance to look into. It's still a little confusing, but I'm sure I'll have enough time to play around to understand.

Chugging along...

So yesterday was a half a day so obviously no work was finished in this class. Even though we started practicing with flash and every thing this class seems to just slowly move along. Not because our teacher isn't teaching or anything. She's very good at trying to explain every thing and what not, but we've had so many interuptions....I hope I can get every thing finished before graduation.
