Team Development Plan

     The most difficult thing to teach for our game concept is how it works. We use math to make the game educational. We use football so people don't fall asleep bored.

Present Team Demo

• The Big Idea: Provide an update on your team's game topic. What is the most important concept you want your players to learn? Math
• Making Decisions as a Team: How did your team's ideas about the game topic change over time? From history to math.
• Roles & Responsibilities: Tell us more about your team process. Please each talk about your specific roles, and how you work together. My team worked very well and we shared work evenly.
• Research: What kind of research went into your game topic? What did you learn about your topic? What message do you want the player to understand? A lot of research.
• The User Experience: Explain the actions players take in your game. How do you play it? What decisions were made about features to include, and how did you decide? By up and down arrows.
• Mastering Flash: What Flash resources have been most helpful in your learning so far, and why? How did you locate these resources?
• Overcoming Challenges: What curriculum topic has been most difficult for you so far? How did you overcome this difficulty? What programming features are you most proud of in your game?

Assemble Team Demo

     Putting all of our files together to form our team demo was easy. We had that done within one class period.

Drag-and-drop

     We did not use drag and drop.

Keyboard input

     We did not get around to using keyboard input.

Animation in Demo

     Adding animation to our demo was pretty difficult, but we pulled through. We found it easier after we watched videos on the subject.

Sound in Demo

     We did not have sound in our demo because we could not get around to it.

Buttons in demo

     We use a lot of buttons in our game. We have buttons that go to three different actual game attachments. The other ones go to our game explanation.

Game Pitch

     We don't really use visual storytelling. We are more straight to the point of playing football using math.

Primary Game Scene for Demo

Our primary game scene is our three main characters running down the field. It's not a lot but it will work according to the teacher.

Trace Paper Prototype

     I have learned that it is very hard to make moving objects work in flash. And we learned how to better aware ourselves of it through hard work and watching videos on wiki.

Paper Prototype 2

     The Big Idea: Describe your team's game topic. What is the most important concept you want your players to learn?

Making Decisions as a Team: How did your individual ideas from Imagining Your Game come together for your team game topic?

Roles & Responsibilities: Talk about your team process. Describe your specific roles, and how you work together.

Research: What kind of research went into the way you will express the game topic? What sources are you using and how do you know they are reliable?

Impact: Could the messages in the game concept or images in your game demo offend anyone? If so, how can you avoid this?

The User Experience: Explain the game play. What actions does the player take in the game? Has this changed since you first started planning your game? Why?

Mastering Flash: What Flash resources have been most helpful in your learning so far, and why? How did you locate these resources?

Overcoming Challenges: What curriculum topic has been most difficult for you so far? How did you overcome this difficulty?

Game Pitch

     Our game is a good team game, you will learn about math using sports. If I had the chance to change the Hobo Journey game I would make the game more understanding because it is a little confusing at first.

Imagine Team Game

     I am designing this game for my class, my game will teach multiplication skills and addition, my game happens at a football stadium, and my game teaches the player about math using a sports topic to keep it interesting and enjoyable.

Game Facts

     We chose football and math for our topic because we can both relate to it and it is a subject we can hit hard.

Wiki

     Wiki has been really fun so far, it's a real learning experience!

Presenting my hidden objects game.

     Presenting my hidden objects game was pretty easy. I had a lot of fun showing my game off to everybody. Making the game was hard but I struggled through it.

First Mini Game

     Creating my first mini game was very entertaining, I know where all of the buttons need to go now and what I need to do to make things to work.

Play to learn

     When I was playing the games in unit 3 I realized this is going to be much harder than a hidden objects game. I will have to work harder and stay on task. I liked the sports genre and that is what I will be doing for my mini game.

Working with flash

     Since this was my first time using flash it was a little difficult to find the proper tools but with the help of my peers and my teacher, I got through it with little to no problems. I had fun using the brush tool the most because I could draw the things I wanted. For my first time using flash, I think I did pretty good, and I had fun doing it.

Drawing my Background

     I loved drawing my background, because flash wasn't hard to learn and I got to make it exactly how I saw it. It looks pretty similar to my paper prototype only it is more colorful. I can't wait to add my hidden objects.

Paper Prototype 1

     Writing my paper prototype was fun. I got to make things exactly how I wanted to, and didn't have to follow any rules or guidelines. I am really excited to see how it turns out on the computer. And until then,  goodbye.

My games vision

     When I picture my game scene I can see everything, I can see the green down below me with trees on the left and right. I can see the pond stretching down the left side, and a fairway that leads tot eh green.

My Hidden Objects Topic

     I chose a golf course scene for my hidden objects game. I like this topic because I can relate to it well, being a golfer, and there are many places on a golf course to hide things. I also feel that drawing a background will not be hard to do because a golf course can be pretty simple.

What I learned by playing games.

     When I played the dirty river game I learned that my game is going to be a simple one, and it's not going to look professional like the games I play at home. I also got some ideas for my game like graphics and methods.

Single Stories

1. What does it mean to have a "single story" about a place or community?
It means you only think of that place through what you have already heard about it, no matter if it is a stereotype or not.

2. Describe a single story you have heard told about your community. What is missing from that story? How could people learn more about that community?
People always say that Philippi is a small, deserted, lonely town, but what thy don't know is, we are bigger than what we look, and full of life.

3. Describe a single story you have heard about another community. How did you learn that story? How could you find out more about that community?
I have heard that Grafton is a mean, snobby town where everyone is stuck up. I heard about this from my brother, and I could learn more by visiting there.

4. How could a game let players experience many stories about a place or community?
It could show them what it looks like and how a native sees it.

My Globaloria Class

   In my Game Design 1 class I hope to learn how to create and play new games. We will be using Globaloria a lot and it is a very helpful site. I am hoping on some freedom when creating games because I have a great idea on a golf game. I would try to make it as educational as possible. I am most excited about learning how to create games and showing my friends and family the one that I made. I am pretty scared about getting behind on my work and not being able to catch up. Thanks for listening. More blogs to come.
   

Bellringer 4/25

What effects did developments in transportation and communication have on the spread of the Industrial Revolution?
     They spread it to new towns and areas where industry was not yet introduced.

How did the lives of women and children change during the revolution?
     Instead of staying home they were hired for low wages to work and many children were injured or even killed.


How and why did methods of production change during the industrial revolution?
     The factory line was introduced so work was done more efficiently.

How did the increase use of machinery affect workers and working conditions?
     The workers became over ran by the machines and had a lot more work to do. And working conditions were dirty and more heated.

How did inventions in the textile industry lead to other new inventions?
     Machines kept building on and on to each other coming up with new ways to make machines more efficient.

Bellringer 4/24

     I feel that it is completely the man's fault not a video games. When someone says that video games had an influence on this man I feel this is not true. It was his choice to go on a rampage not the video games. This man should go to jail for not just killing all those people, he should also be locked away for putting this topic in everyone's mind. Video games do not kill people, people do.

Bellringer 4/16

     The Printing Press is the most important invention because people could print off books quickly and cheap. It also enabled a printer to make hundreds of copies of just one work. This made it easy for the poor to by books too because the printing press made books cheaper.

Industrial Revolution notes 2

     A society based around agriculture is called an agrarian. Production becomes faster in factories in the industrial revolution. Instead of being made by hand people just take care of one small portion of the process and this cuts work time in half. Now people are being paid hourly work pay instead of how much you make. Men are the only ones working at this point, but then women and children come into play and start working because they can do the same job the same way. People started to work more women and children because you could pay them less than men.

Model Notes

     Gang Plow- The gang plow had many plows attatched to it instead of one. It reduced the time needed to finish the job. It was made of steel.
     Cast Iron Plow- It has changable blades, and people believed it poisened the soil. The plow had three parts to it.
     Mold Board Plow- It flipped soil over, it was invented by the Chinese, it put the more nutricious soil on top.
     Corn Picker- Lack of washers, it picked corn, it also pushed corn.
    

History of the Fyling Shuttle

     The flying shuttle was a key invention in the weaving industry. It was pattented in 1733 by John Kay. The flying shuttle dominated the weaving industry through the middle of the 20th century.

The Agricultural and Industrial Revolution

Great Britain: England, Wales, Scotland, Nothern Ireland.
     In the 1600s England had a subsistince farming- Farming that of what your family only needs. They only grow enough to supply their family.
     In the 1700s we had the Enclosure Movement: England had common grounds(land owned by everybody) In this movement they started fencing all the common grounds off. The citizens who were using the common grounds had theyre farms taken from them and given to larger farm owners. People who were farming on smaller lands were called tennant farmers. People who couldn't find work as a tennent farmer were forced to move into cities. Farmers start to grow more crops and start looking for effiency. Jethro Toll was concerned about the amount of seed that was being wasted by hand seeding, so he invented the seed drill.
     Crop Rotation- Splitting up your land into sections for different seeds, then rotate each year. You do this because each crop requires different nutrients.
     Wood was replaced by medal becauseit was stronger, and lasted longer. Replacable blades were for the plows that broke so you wouldn't have to buy a whole new plow, you just replace the blade.
People are starting to move to the cities to find work. But there is no work. But because of factors of preduction Great Britain is becoming the leader of the industrial revolution. Natural resources were found like coal and ironore. The three factors of production are land, labor, and natural resources.
Great Britain had water used for food, transportation, and mills for power. There was a disadvantage though because of drought, flood, and it could get clogged up.
     In the textile industry, they made clothes by hand. Mechanisation, meant they created a machine to make all the clothes for them.
     The factory system came into play because of the effeincy matter. People would come in an work on these machines for a certain wager a day.
     Now the steam engine is created. Now we can power factories, boats, and locomotives. Now people can travel a lot faster. Our communicationn is also becoming quicker.

Renaissance Person

         

      I, William Wallace, am a brave warrior of Scotland. I was born in 1272, in the town of Ederslie, Scotland. I am the second son of Sir Malcolm Wallace. My friend, John Blair, is making a biography on my life as we speak. When I was just a boy I spent all of my time in Dunipace, learning things with my uncle, and learning from him I took a love for liberty.
     I was around ten when I first killed another soul, it was a young Englishmen named Selby, I only did it because he insulted me. I was banned a couple years later, into the wilds of Scotland. I started to gather brave men together and led attacks against the English. Because of all these attacks I was now a wanted man, and I found myself being chased by all sorts of guards and knights. In my return to Newcastle, I was named guardian of the kingdom, for my brave fighting and loyalty.
     I resigned the office of guardian, and betook myself again to a wandering life and a desultory and predatory warfare against the English. I now, payed a visit to France to try to get the king on my side for the upcoming battle. While I was gone, all of my men were taken and I was left alone, and after this the English king asked me for allegiance. I refused, and kept denying until he set a price on my head, now I was getting nervous. I decided to travel to London for refuge but instead I was captured and sentenced to death.
     Sitting here under this large man with a large weapon has made me regret some of the lives I stole and all of the people I have disappointed. So I now leave you with a poem, 

'This is the truth I tell you:
of all things freedom’s most fine.
Never submit to live, my son,
in the bonds of slavery entwined.’

Chapter 15

Section 1: Renaissance- means rebirth. The renaissance was a good time in the middle ages. Started in Florence, Italy. The Medici brought the Renaissance to life. Lorenzo the magnificent was a very important person in the beginning. The humaniss were people who stayed with the classics. The artist- They relied on perspective- which is life like things. Michelangelo, was a great painter/sculptor who created the Sistine chapel. Leonardo Di Vinci painted the Mona Lisa. Francesco Petrarch wrote love poems to Laura. Machiavelli - Mcnaboes man. He was from Florence and wrote about the Prince.

     Michivelli- Is it better feared than loved, or loved than feared?
1. As a person: I would rather be loved as a person. Being feared would mean not having any allies on my side. It would also mean that people would want to stay away from you because they are afraid of you.
2. As a leader: I would rather be feared because then you will be respected. People would not try to suggest things they know I disagree with. If I was a leader and feared then the people would obey laws more often.

Section 2: Johannes Gutenberg- Created mechanism that could copy movable books. Desiderious Erasmus- Wrote the "Praise of Folly." Thomas More- He thought that every man should be treated fairly. He would not support King Henry 8th, so he was beheaded. William Shakespeare- Wrote Hamlet, and Romeo and Juliet. The Flemish- First to paint in oil on canvas.

   

Sections 3, 4, and 5

     Section 3: In each town, there was a merchant's guild that had the right to trade there. There were also craft guilds, where skilled workers came together. In guilds, there were apprentices, young boys that served the workers. Next there were journeymen, these boys were paid wages by a master. In time, the guild members, merchants and master workers, formed into the middle class. They were between the classes of nobles and peasents. In the middle ages, there was a disease called Black Death, that swept through Europe. The plague began in Asia and spread along busy travel routes and ports from black rats that carried the disease and it was spread because the rats bit people.
     Section 4: In the middle ages, European culture underwent changes such as language and literature. People with little education spoke vernacular languages, which is everday speech that goes throughout town to town. Speaking of town to town, troubadours were travling singing who wrote poems about love and chivalry. In the middle ages, vernacular literature reached its height in works with two writers, Dante Alighieri and Geoffrey Chaucer. Scholasticism was the attempt to bring faith together and reason. Peter Abelard, was a very important philosopher of scholaticism. But the greatest midievil philosopher was Thomas Aquinas.

     During the 1000's the seliq turks gained control of Palestine. It was known to the Christians as the Holy Land. The turks went on to attack Asia Minor. When they threatened Constantinople, the byzantine empire called pope Urban II in Rome for help. In 1095, Urban caled a meeting of church leaders and feudal lords. The met in Clermont France. He asked the lords to stop fighting amongst themselves and join in a war to win back the holy land. The wore the cross of Christ on their right shoulderor back and cry out God wills it, God wills it.
Thus, the crusades began, a series of military expeditions to regain the holy land. 10,000 Europeans took up the cause. cruciata means marked with a cross. Some joined to save souls,some hoped to gain land and wealth in Palestineand southwesdt Asia, and some saw a chance for money.

  The first Crusade lasted from 1096 to 1099. French and Itailian lords led several armies of crusaders from Europe to Constantinopl. The Byzantine emporer was suspicious of them. After discussion, he allowed them to pass. Started long march to Palestine. Had few animals to carry supplies, so they had little suplies. The forged to Antinoch. Their main target was Jerusalem. Italian ships bbrought supplies. The Turks, were disunited and unable to prevent crusaders from surrounding a city. After many battles, the crusaders captured the city.

The capture brought much of the holy land under European rule. They set up four small states. They introduced the idea of European feudalism and subdivided the land into fiefs. The Christians and Muslims grew to respect eachotehr. Europeans began to ajust to customs. For 100 years Eurp Christians held onto Palestine.

Second Crusade- By 1146 the turks united their forcess. In 1147, the second crusade began. King Louis the seventh of france and german king conrad the third led seperate armies across euro.

1187- third crusade began, saladin gained control of Jerusalem three Eruo rules fredrick barbossa king Philip the second and king richard the first of england led seperate armies to 3rd crusade from 1189 to 1192. It failed, when barbossa drowned.

Fourth
Pope innocent gathered French Nights for Fourth crusade. 1202, tehy left to venice. The Venitians Persuaaded the crusaders to attack Zadar, a christian city. 1204, raided Constantinople. because itt was a christian city, the crusaders were later excommunicated by Pope Innocent. Constantinople was ruled by by western europe for 60 years. Byzantine eventually gained rule of Constantinople, but never regained strength, but collapsed when the turks seized them in 1453.

1212, childrens crusade started. Young people tried to take the holy land. Some of the children were sent home buy the pope, and some that made it to france were tricked into getting on a boad that would lead them to slavery. Several thousand children were lost, mostly from Germany and France, on the journey.

For many years, Euro. crusaders tried to recapture the holy land. The crusades lsted until 1291, when the muslims captured the ciry of Acre, teh last christiain stronghold in the Holy Land. With Acre's fall, the crusades ended.

The goal of the crusades were to take the Holy land from the turks. All, but the first failed to reach the goal. By the end, the muslims controlled Palestine.

During the crusades, the choice weapon wass the crossbow. The weapon fired a short heavy arrow called a bolt with the pull of a trigger. It also required less skill than the original bow. It could penetrate chain mail and plate armor. They learned how to undermine walls and use catapults.
