2nd Vlog

presintation pt2

The presentation I felt went really well, except the people we were presenting to gave more criticism than praise. They gave good advise but said it in a way that sounded like they where more disappointed in our game then they where impressed. However except for a new need for a lot of code our game should be completed before the school year ends.

presintation

We are about to present our final game to the people, I'm personally a little nervous there is still a lot we didn't get done, but we have enouph to show the judges. We are actually presinting from another class but it shouldn't take more than 30mins an hour at the most.

I thought it would work

1120: Access of undefined property onEnterFrame. This is an error that occurred while trying to use the code Mr Allder gave us. I'm not sure what it is or how to fix it, if anyone dose know please post it in the comment section below. The fla and swf is on in the team page.

one down

Mr. Allder came down to our class today to offer some codding advice, and he managed to answer my drag and stick question. He gave us a code that would make one version of the symbol drag and drop, but after it dropped it  would disappear and another version of the symbol would pop into place, but this one can't move.

Coding problems

No matter how easy you think something will be its always more complicated. The small amount of coding i need, i cant get of find. maybe someone can help, i need a way for a movie clip to appear if a button is pressed and also i need that movie clip to be drag able but once it is dropped in a certain place it can not be picked back up again. If you know any thing please post it in the comments section. Thanks.

Game time

The time has come at last, time to start making the final copy of our game. We still have a lot of coding that needs done, and some of  the scenes need to be edited a little. We have about six days or so, with a little hard work(and tons of luck) this deadline will be no problem.

the most difficult concept of our game is more likely than not convincing people to switch to alternative energy. (i'm outa time finish post later)

just looking

Today all i really did was look around at some of the demos done at our school and a few others. a lot of people had some really good ideas for games and others had good graphics. i still think our game will do good but after glancing at the competition, it will be harder than i thought.

now... THE GAME

All that's left to do is finish the game, it will be one coding problem after another I already know. However, i know we can handle any challenge thrown at us, we can overcome any obstacle, we can... um do other difficult things. We've made it this far there's not much left, lets do it.

kitten video

we recorded our game demo just now, literally only minutes ago. And i submitted it literally moments ago. The really real finished demo is on my team page go see if you want to. I'm sure everyone is tired of demos, so from now one demos will be refereed to as kittens. Go see our finished kitten on our team page.

demo really done

Remember how I said that the demo was done, well I lied. Now the demo IS done, we both did halve of it and to day they were successfully fused together to create one big finished demo that we will submit soon.

demo done

We have finally finished our game demos, i say demos because he did the informational part and i did the actual game scenes. all that is left to do is fuse them together and I have two days to do that. It looks pretty good this game is starting to look like a winner to me.

peace corps game

I recently played the peace corps game and found it to be very interesting. It is different from other flash games in that it is a lot more complicated but, not so much that it isn't fun. With a little time it could be pretty easy to solve.

demos and stuff

We have begun putting the finishing touches on our game demo. Although i did want more done on it, we have enough to make a great demo for our game. The only thing left to do is add all the scenes together and make the buttons work right, it should only take two or three classes (hopefully) at most.

here we go again

Last year a lot of my blogs were more like rants, well here's another. I've gotten my keyboard controll to work but my team mate can't, our codes are the same(other than the instance name) but it dose not work for him. Another thing is that some how the code has goten extreamly complicated from last year. last year the code was extreamly simple my it seems to have gotten more complexed.

what I learned.

I have learned a lot about my topic since I started making this game. The main thing I learned was the urgency of the need for alternative energy, in about forty years the worlds reserves of oil will be depleted. Other things I have learned is the amount of alternative energy needed to meet the worlds energy demand.

One more thing

The only thing (that i know of) left to finish our game is bringing the power plant up after its button is pressed. I think i can do the locking in place down by "borrowing" some code from other games. luckily our resident flash expert will be stopping in Wednesday to once again aid us in our time of need. Other than that I believe our game is reaching its final design.

almost done

We are ever closer to finishing our game demo all that is left to do is figure out the more complected code. Thanks to another Globaloria teachers help i have gotten my wind mill's blades to spin next i will focus on the thermal plants steam to make it look like it is moving.

Flash wishlist

We are supposed to make a list of what we need for flash in order to complete our assignments. There are three things I'm concerned with trying to do, that is making the wind turbines move automatically where ever they are placed. the second is making the power plants appear after pressing there button. the third is the energy bar that shows how much energy is produced when the right power plant is put in the right place.

vlogs

Me and my teammate divided all the needed components of our game and pick witch ones we wanted to do. Unfortunately I still have wiki stuff to do so I couldn't do much today. Also today is the last day I have to finish it so it took priority. The good news is that next week starts the next grading period so we will have some time to work with flash.

no flash

I just remembered something important about this class, we haven't done any thing in flash for a long time. We have been so busy filling in the wiki stuff that we have been neglecting our flash work. I know the wiki stuff is important but I like working in flash, and i want to go back to working in flash.
