Trace Paper Prototype

List a new idea (not just a fact) you've learned about your topic while making your game. How did you come to learn this? What sources where helpful to you in gaining this understanding? What makes these news or research sources especially informative and trustworthy?


I learned this when I was searching info on 

this topic,because I like helping people and 

this is like helping kids get a new family.Kids 

go to the orphanages because sometimes

of how they look or if they have a problem

when they were born and they can't afford the 

medicine.But if I had a kid and he/she had a 

problem I won't give it away i'll take care of it.

So that's why I like helping kids getting a new 

family that care about them.

Plan Team Game

Is your team game a good learning game? Why? What would you add to the Hobo's Journey game to improve it? What would you add to the Larry game to improve it?

I think yes because it teaches them to be themselves and no other people.It is going to show the kids to help other children and help parents how to adopt kids.I would change it and put on like more action so it can look funner and cool.Like I just said I would add more action and more people and sound,and that's it.

Choose Team Game Topic

Choosing a topic was easy for me because I like helping kids getting adopted. Every time I see a boy or girl in a orphanage  I feel that they got abounded ,because of their looks or if they don't want her/him.I feel sad so that's why I want to help them get a new family who will LOVE him/her.So that's why I choose that game topic

Child Care

I choose this topic because I ask myself why did the parents abounded their child if it's a gift.Some parents just abounded them because of their looks or sometimes because of something that they have like if their sick of something or came out wrong.That's why I want to stop parents from abounding their kids for stupid reasons.

Mothers Against Drunk Driving:
 MADD seeks to stop drunk driving, support the victims of this violent crime and prevent underage drinking.What it means is that over 40,000.Every 12 minutes there is a person who dies.There is 10.1 million teenagers that drink and drive.

Austin Dog Rescue:Austin dog rescue is like rescuing dogs from street.I don't like when owners get a dog, and they don't feed him or give water to it.Animals have feelings too and they feel terrible when they don't get food , water ,and a shelter.The austin dog rescue check the houses if they got dogs and,if the dogs got a shelter and water and food.

Adoption Coalition of Texas:Children who are in a foster home either there parents abounded them when they were little babies or, they just don't like them.Some mom's don't have a heart because they care more about there looks.Like for example if there ugly they leave them but if there cute they keep them.That's not cool the parents suppose to love them as they are.

Cancer Connection:Cancer connection is the people who help the people in need.All the people that have cancer are not alone,because the people who are helping them are taking good care of him/her.The cancer connection are the people who collect are trying to raise money so they can raise money to help the people who got cancer.They try to make them feel better and not worry if they are going to die or other crazy stuff.

Keep Austin Beautiful:Keep Austin beautiful is like making earth clean.Other things to clean erth isby not litering and throw oil in the river.The other thing to help earth is to not waste a lot of water.If we don't clean the earth then we would be living in a dirty earth.If we don't take care of the earth then we will be drinking  dirty water.If people drink dirty water then we can get sick and die.Other thing is to not cut down the trees cause we need trees to breath.

Build Interactive Mini Game

Making a mini game was kinda hard,because I had to put all the codes and change them.That was kinda hard and the codes were kinda hard to out on flash.I dint like the part where you had to guess the code so you can move the bunny around in cirlcles.So i'm guessing that it was easy to.My favorite thing was to draw the characters.My characters were tom and jerry.I think that I did a apretty good job in the game.I think that it was pretty hard.

Play to Learn Part 2

When I played all the games all of them were kinda boring,because it doesn't got a lot amusement .Like for an example it doesn't have kinda action,but it does have but a little bit.But when I was playing the katrina game it was ohhh awesome.So that's my favorite game now.

Present Your Hidden Object Game

The Big Idea: Describe your learning topic for the game. What is the most important thing you want your players to learn?I think that the players will learn about the history of back then.They are also going to learn about what pirates use to use in the back days.

Research: What kind of research did you do? What did you learn about your topic?I learned that the pirates use a lot of stuff .Like for an example I hided the pirates foot,and they need food to survive.

Making Decisions: How did your ideas change as you worked on your game?I was thinking at first I was going to make science, but then I thought that social studies is my favorite subject.

Mastering Programming: What Game Ingredients and Help Center resources have been most useful to you so far, and why?It was hard choosing the ingredients because all of them were so good.But I only choose timer.

Overcoming Challenges: Which part of making the game was most difficult for you? How did you overcome this difficulty? What features are you most proud of in your game?The difficulty was making the object dissapear,because since I was in 6 grade globaloria was hard for me,because I did learnd it but I forgot the steps.

Draw Backround

Drawing a backround was pretty fun because you got to draw a backround that was your choice.At first it was pretty hard because I had to draw it ,and i'm not pretty good at art.So it was hard.I think that I did a good job.When I was done with it Ms.valdez took a picture,and put in the gallery.So I cpied it and put it in flash.I was coloring it and it looked so much better with color.=)

Make Paper Prototype Part 1

First of all I din't know what to pick as my paper prototype.So I picked social studies.So what i'm making as my backround is going to be an island.And as my items i'm going to make,what pirates usually use.Like for example they use boots,sords,ships,and they als need food.So thats what im going to hide from them.So that's my paper prototype.=)!

ADD HIDDEN OBJECTS

I'm going to add the hidden objects in the backroung scene.It's kinda hard though ,but I gotta tried at least.And if I can't do it well ask for help.If they don't help then ill ask help from another person that it's done with their game.I think that where ill hide my abjects it's to easy.If a person is playing my game and can't see my objects well that means that,that person is blind.It's because it's like so easy finding my objects.So Yea.=)

Game Scene

Drawing my scene was easy that's because I copy it .But it was still easy I think that my game scene is going to be fun.My game scene is about pirates like social studies.Well it is socila studies it's about these settlers that travel around the word.So it's like columbus traveling.So that why I'm making mine about settlers.I like my game scene because it's cool and I hope that the people like it.So that's all I gotta say about my game scene.!=)

Plan Game Scene

My plan game scene is going to be about social studies.What I'm goign to hide is going to e pirate stuff.It's like the stuff that the pirates use for traveling.Like for example the food,water,ship,and other cool stuff.When the objects are hidding the pirates are going t be looking for them.My backround is going to be a island or in the ocean.But in the ocean all the items are going to be floating,instead floating.There is going to be like 12 or 15 pirates.All the pirates including the boss are going to be looking everywhere.If you find all the items you are going to win,and if you find half you lose.I'm thinking abot putting a timeSo that is what I'm going to do for  my game scene.

Choosing a Topic

My ame is going to be about history.I don't know why, well I like history because it's intresting to learn about people who discovered america.Sometimes it just to be boring because the teacher will just talk.But if we do some fun stuff like Mrs.Rimes she does games about social studies and it's pretty fun.So I'm going to make my game creative,fun,colorful,and intellegent.So I think that my game is going to be pretty fun.I'm going to draw Christopher Columbes in his ship sailing for the first time.I think that it's going to be pretty cool.So that's what im going to do for my game.

Playing To Learn

What I learn about the games was a math lesson or smething else, but I'm pretty sure it was like learning something about stuff.It was fun at the same time while I was learning.

Some of the games were kinda hard even, though I just pressing buttons I saw a cool thing that I can put in mygame.What idea gave was to make my people pretend to talk and do other stuff.I think that some games were like boring but I like the main page of the game.
Some of the games was to find the old lady's cats.You had to do something about math but it was funny.I like it because it had this weird noises that the cats did.

Back To School

About school I'm pretty exited because our school is new and it's big.I kinda don't like our lunch here but who cares, I just like the school and the teachers,well almost all the teachers.I'm positive that I'm going to stay in this school unless I get in trouble.If other students are in this school and they are disrespecting,well they should just go to another school.Like today I got in trouble with a girl but who cares that was the past I'm moving on.So that is not going to stop me from being in this school.I met new friends that came to eacpa there cool and funny.The challenges that I had to do was to find classes and doing homework.

Spirit of the Marathon

The movie we watched in class was called "Spirit of the Marathon".The movie is about people training for a marathon.There is a citizen name Jerry Meyers and he was training for the marathon.He was pretty old but he can still run.He said that he has been in a marathon along time ago.

My Game

My game that my partner and I made is about suicide.Suicide it's like someone wants to kill themselves,because of bullying and rumors.In our game you have to pass the level 1 without touching the bad objects.Like for example the objects are,knife,rope,and a cigar.But if you touch one of this things you will lose and start all over.Then when you pass level 1 you can go to level 2.In level 2 you got to drag all the good items to the girl.I think that people will play it because you learn about suicide of whats good for you and whats bad for you.My game didn't turn out good but at least people are going to learn about suicide.To be honest making  the game  was pretty hard.We had to enter all this codes to make the person move.But it was pretty fun working in our game.So I hope we win he globey awards.
