Awesome Blog


My thoughts about Globaloria are that it's a very challenging class that you have fun in while learning. Also what I like about this class is that we get to learn about the computer and how to work it. I've learned how to blog and how to add videos,pictures,hyperlinks, and more. We also are learning about how to make a game about problems in Austin,Texas that have effected us in many ways. Ex. Poverty,Health,Environment,and Education. I enjoy this class because we update learning logs and we have a Wiki page that we can post comments and work on also.(Pollution)

I enjoy blogging because it can help with what you are learning and how to explain it better in your own way. I also like blogging because you can post it on your blog page and anyone can see it if they type in your URL. We are learning how to make a paper prototype for our game that we are making in our math objectives group together. You have to design your game on paper so when you do it on your computer it is already drawn out and ready to make. I look forward to learning about the computer's parts because in case your computer breaks down and you don't have to call anybody to come and fix it because you already know how to fix it yourself. Our game: My partners: Valerie,Karina,Jonathan,and Elias.: Our game is about pollution all types, but we are focusing on water and air pollution mainly. Our first level is about keeping the cigarettes out of the clean water of fish and lake animals. The second level is about questions,facts,and information that was distributed throughout the game. You have to answer the questions that we have created by information that WE had to look up. The third and final level is about getting the air that is already clean through the bad polluted air and making it safe to the other side without being polluted. Also my math objective is 2 which is ratios,patterns,and algebraic thinking. I am excited about making my very first game because I always thought about the people that make games for a living and I never thought that it could be me well not for a living but as a hobby since we are learning how to make them we can make our own as an extra thing to do in the summer. There are more things about Globaloria like our Wiki pages and our learning logs also. Our Wiki pages are for information on our game like our simple steps to making a game. Our learning logs are for what we have done that day so in case we need to go back and reflect on what we did so we can go back and get information.

Now that it's a new month of February we have been working on new and advanced things like paper prototyping with our team and now we are going into the process of making a game.
So far we have made a web page that talks about our game and how it works.
More about our game is that its challenging and hard,but worth the effort and drive of our minds.
When I first thought about making a game I said "Oh no this is going to be hard.",but it wasn't as hard as I thought.
