My Gaming Habits

What types of games do you enjoy playing?

I enjoy playing games that have to do with doing exercise, such as Wii Sports, Wii Resort, Just Dance, and Wii Fitness.

When did you begin playing games, on what type of game system?

Well, first of all, I didn't even know that games existed when I was like 5.The first game that I had played was, Mario Kart, on the Nintendo, something.

Do your parents/guardians limit the amount of time you are allowed to play games?

Well, at first they didn't.After a while, since my mom and my uncle didn't say anything to us, my brother would be 6 hours straight playing the Wii or the Game Cube.When my grandma and my other aunt toll my mom and uncle, we were only allowed to play for 1 hour, but sometimes when my brother didn't listen to him, he would either let him play only 30 minutes or to not play it at all, so my family was pretty strict about playing games.

Do you think it is possible to get completely addicted to playing video games?Why or why not?

Well, yes because on the news, I heard that one man was always playing games, day to night to the next day.Well, the more he played, the more brain damage it caused him.Well, then it was the other day, when he died because of playing too much games. That is another reason why my mom and uncle limited the time on us, more to my brother, but since he broke the thing to show the little hand on the Wii, he can't play anymore.While my brother was so mad at me me, I don't know why, my mom was happy that it happened.

Strive to get to Exemplary

I created this in Flash Ana Orozco Copyright 2012

ActionScript

ActionScript is programming language that is used in Flash.

These are some of the things that you can program:

• Buttons
• Collision Detection
• Scrolling Background
• Animation
• Mouse Cursor
• Keyboard Control
• Platforms
• Objects
• Codes
• Drag and Drop
• Keyframes
• Layers
• Jumping

Flash Reminders

1.) Place everything in its own layer, especially when you will have maybe a scene that has too many objects.

2.) Place corresponding layers in the same files, meaning if you have too many layers, you can put them in a folder.

3.) Label your layers and folders. Give them just an easy name to not forget.

4.) You MUST assign Instance Names to all symbols. If you have everything right, like the code and everything is in its own layer, but doesn't work well, then you are missing the Instance Name.

5.) Upload ALL of your work to the Wiki, whether its complete or not. If you do this, then you can always go back and fix it.

Gamefication, Game Design, or Game Mechanics-What?

What do you learn in Globaloria?

- I learn lots of things in this class.I learn how to make animated games, how to use the new version of Flash, and how to program the Wiki.

Think about all of the skills you have learned over the past and a half years. Name at least five of these skills.

- Well, one of the things that I have really learned is how to do Motion Tweens.They are my favorite because when you make whatever object, the movie turns out good. I also know how to create Keyboard Control, one of my favorite codes.I also know how to use the code of Adding Buttons a little bit.It's not really my favorite, but it's really useful.I know how to animate the objects.That makes the movie even interesting and fun.Lastly, I know how to add the scenes, the easiest part of making a movie.

How can these skills prepare you for a successful academic future and how could you use these skills to find a great job?Remember, you do not have to grow up and be a game designer to use the skills you are learning in Globaloria.

-Well, these are skills that I only use in Flash.I have other skills that I learn in Globaloria.You have noticed that Globaloria is a class where you learn how to design games and can talk to new people.This has helped to communicate with new people that I don't hang out with.Since I plan to be a meteorologist, I think that I can have a great experience in Globaloria by checking new people.

Gamefication is the act of adding game elements to something that doesn't have them and to solve problems.It encourages users to engage the desired behaviors too.

Game Design is when you create a game.
