Catching Game Ideas

Well I decided at this point to make a catching game. I believe it will be easiest to make, play, and get the point across in a very fun manner. I posted this pic of a catching game and I really liked the way the person created what happens. You get points for catching eggs and putting them in the basket. You also got bonus points for catching chocolate bunnies. I really like that the eggs hit the ground and burst open, a chick, baby chick, is inside and chirps and runs off the screen. I will probably incorporate the objects changing into something and maybe something dropping the items instead of my original thought of them just randomly coming out.

This has also given me an idea to expand my game. One, you have to catch the eggs then put them into the basket to get credit. I could make the pollutants fall and then have the player have to discard them. For example: I could have radon falling, the player catches them and then has to take them to a vent and vent the radon gases.

Game Idea

*enter Americas Most Wanted theme music* Update! I have an idea for a flash game and now to Blog about it. First who am I designing the game for? Honestly anyone who wants to learn about and better your in home air quality.

My game will teach about the top 10 sources of indoor air pollution in the home.

The game will happen in a home. This setting will add to the learning experience by focusing on the parts of the house the pollution occur. For example carbon monoxide my come from a gas furnace.

The game world will be used to remedy the problems as well. For instance the player may be armed with vents that they add to vent the radon gas. They will also have to test first for the presence of radon gas. Without the tester the player wont know what's going on because the gas is odorless tasteless and so forth.

It is better than a quiz because the player will not need to do much reading and will have more fun!

Mini Game Creations

Well today we completed our mini game in flash. It was not hard per say, just time consuming. The best part is I now have tons of ideas about games racing through my head :) .... The worst part about creating a game? Well if you make a mistake the lines of code that you have to check can be frustrating. I have a feeling though the more you work with it the better you can become at it.

My topic chosen...

Hi my name is Joe. I have been a chess player since 4th grade. My father taught me how to play in the 4th grade. I used my high school years to research the game and read plenty of books on the strategies and philosophy of the game. I love games in general and to me games, including chess, keep the mind sharp. In fact in order to be a good chess player your mind and your body need to be in good shape.

I had to come up with a topic for my game. It took a while, but I believe I came up with that topic.

Well after careful consideration I chose to make my topic on a game, "How to play chess." I often hear people ask me if I could teach them how to play or they wish they could play. I will be making a simple flash game to teach people how to set the board up and ho the pieces move. Beyond that I may add in some simple challenges to see if they understand the piece movement and to get them started in the right direction on how to play.

Game Genre for Globaloria

I was thinking about it and decided that my genre will be strategy games. I chose this one because to me the best learning is when you have to think about what you are doing and then live with your actions. Strategy does just that.

Gump Knows Internet Privacy

        "Lieutenant Dan got me invested in some kind of fruit company. So then I got a call from him, saying we don't have to worry about money no more. And I said, that's good! One less thing." Forrest Gump and technology go hand in hand. Of course Forrest was talking about an Apple computer. With todays grand age of technology and the sense of security when we are using technology we tend to give information freely. For instance we sign up for email accounts and social media using our full names. This is not a very safe practice for one as someone can easily find you and exploit that information. "Momma always said stupid is as stupid does," indeed! Thank you Mr. Gump for your infinite wisdom. We need to remember what ever we write, post, or give on the web, information wise, needs to not be too much information. We need to remember that information posted on the internet is not secure and safe. It is open to anyone who has access or gets access.If you would not tell someone in person the information you are going to post then don't post it! As my great friend Forrest Gump would always say, "That's all I got to say about that!" 

May 16, 2011 Globaloria Day 1+2

I hope to create a demo for a very fun yet educational game using the programs provided to us. I have no idea at this moment what my game will be about. I am most excited about being able to create stuff using flash and I hope to use that knowledge in my own personal life to create some fun stuff. I am not really scared bout anything other than maybe the time crunch, but fear would be the wrong word to use. This ought to be a great experience and something I can share with friends I have in the gaming community.
