wild and wonderful ((:

To me West Virginia is a wonderful state. It may not have as many attractions as other states, but it is a great place to live. I've lived here my whole life and I wouldn't change it for nothing. I grew up on these mountains, I couldn't imagine living somewhere else. I have lived in the same community for 16 years and where I come from everyone knows eachother. Everyone is friendly and everyone helps everyone.
Others point of view on us is that we are uneducated and that we are all just a bunch of hillbillies. But that is coming from people who have never visited west virginia. Some people might not be as educated as others but I bet you they still have mountaineer spirit in them ((:
Just recently I have realized how wonderful west virginia really is. It's sad that I had to realize it through such a horrible tragedy. Throughout this recent tragedy my eyes really opened on how caring strangers can be towards eachother. People from all over the area was coming together to pray and have faith for our miners. Im glad I was lucky enough to be raised in such an amazing place<3

animation ((:

Today in class we was told to watch a tutorial about animation. The video showed us how to do everything step by step. After watching the video I tryed it out on flash. I did it the first time ((: Making an object move was more easy than I thought. Destynee and I are going to try to add some animation to are video game. Which is coming along amazinglyyyy :D

My Demo Button :D

When Chez first told us we was going to begin making buttons I didn't think I was going to be able to make one. I'm not that good at flash, so I watched the two videos that was under the tutorials. After watching the first video atleast ten times I was able to make my button (:

It wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. Since it was my first button I've made I didn't do much to it except make it change colors. It goes from hot pink to light pink. I'm very excited to start making all the buttons for my games.

Paper Prototyping (:

Destyne and I had alot of fun doing are paper prototyping. It took us a couple days to get everything put together, but it turned out pretty good. We cut out little stick people to represent each character and made each level two pages long. We also cut out the objects that will be points and the objects that will be trying to attack you. Putting all the pieces together and recorded us explaining the game was alot of fun too. (:

Salt &+ Pepper Shaking Up the Flashhhh ! (:

Destyne and I have such a good video game planned. While we were planning our game we realized how much detail is going to be put in each level. I really look forward to putting our game together, but I'm not happy about inserting all the codes. That's probably going to take a couple years. Exspecially with Destyne and me we didn't do so well on our mini game, so are video game is going to take a while (:

The Canterbury Tales

Chaucer chose the specific sterotypes that he did because it's sterotypes that have always been around. Each character contributed something helpful to their society. Some was religious and some would hunt for food. The author also made a lawyer and a doctor. This story is so creative and so detailed on everything.In the story the author gives us a very good picture and description of all of his characters. The author tells us details on what the character is wearing and what they do to contribute to the others. My favorite character is Friar because he's like cupid. I wish we could have someone like that in our world. That would be awesome. (: When we make our game the characters must be related to the game theme. If your theme is action and you have babies as characters that wouldn't look so good, and alot of people probably wouldn't play it. Any type of characterization is important in books, movies, and yes even in games. The characters in games should be creative and have something special or different about them. Alot of video games refelect a book or movie so it all goes together.

Imagine Your Game

In class we have been working on our paper protyping. Destyne and Me are partners and have got alot of good ideas for our video game. We're going to reflect are game off of Super Mario. The goal is to complete four levels to get your diploma. Also throughout the game you will gather points to get a promise scholarship. On level one you will choose between four different types of characters. After choosing your character you will begin at a school. You will be running through gathering books, but you must avoid the bad grades ! They are able to take one of your five lives. After all five lives are taken you will have to restart at level one, so you must be careful ! On level two you will be on a football field and you will have to gather all the footballs for points, but you must dodge the football players that are trying to stop you. On level three you are at a party and you will have to collect all your friends without getting stopped by the drugs or alcohol ! After completing these three levels you will have one more to go. On level four you are on the stage soon to get your diploma. You must follow the diploma to the finish line, but while doing that the group of dropouts will try to stop you so you must dodge them ! We are very excited to create our game ! (:
