What I Learned In Game Design

Well, its hard to sum up all the things i learned in Game Design in one blog, but here it is. The main things i learned was more about computers overall, and specifically flash and civics. We had to make our flash game on civics, so that is why i leanred most about them. I have learned alot about how to code, how to animate, and how to construct a flash game. I still have alot to learn about it, but it was a great start. About civics, i learned alot about the different political parties views and also the stands that different parties take.

What I Have Learned About Civics

Well, one thing is for sure, civics definitely is complicated. Politics and all of it is not an easy subject to learn about, there are too many opinions. However, i believe we have learned a couple good points a student should know about civics.

Me and Ian's game was about the different parties and their views on certain disagreements in our country right now. We learned mainly about how each party stands on healthcare, foreign affairs, etc. etc. It was an enjoyable experience and an educational one also.

Hopefully I continue to learn about civics as i sum up my game and finish it. So far, so good.

December 4th Blog

So far so good, I have quite a bit done on my level of the game and Ian is doing well on his also. We are pretty close to done, so hopefully we get done with time left and I can post the final copy of my level right on here.

November 20th Blog

We started on our game today, me and Ian didn't really do anything technical, but we just polished up our ideas and made it concrete. We hope to start the actual making game very soon. So far everything is going really good, hopefully this continues.

November 6th Blog

We have made quite a bit of progress on our game so far, mostly all of it is in the beginning screens of the game. We have learned alot too, like what each parties outlook on certain topics are. (This is also what we hope the players of the game will learn a little about). The game is coming along fine, i almost have the whole basis of level one done, but i plan on adding alot more animation and then of course the variables and the bars. I guess we should have about five different debates in this game to make it over the top, and also we need to make different delegates and different party traits. Anyway, (let me end my rambling) so far so good, and hopefully you will enjoy the final product.

Adding Animation

I have finally figured out how to add animation to my game, it was a long and winding road, and it pretty much sucked, but i finally figured it out. I haven't actually added any yet, but with my new civics game i plan too very soon. It should awesome. Anyway, had to post this blog to get a grade, so enjoy :)))))))))!!!.

Civics Game

Well, now we must forget about all our old game stuff and start from scratch. (I am not complaining because it was the classes idea!) Anyway, i am rid of my old partner now also :), and am paired with the genius of the class, Ian. We hope to win the civics competition. Our game puts you in the feet of an up and coming senator running for president. The objective of the game is to win your debates with other delegates and eventually become the president of the United States. We have not quite got the nitty gritty details done, but it seems like a very good concept and we hope that we can accomplish what we want too, we probably will with wiz kid on my side.
