day 7:Visual Storytelling

I feel I am using visual storytelling by placing my veggies in a battle with the junk food. By showing the actual fighting, it shows the struggle our bodies go through fighting and how that if you make the right decisions, you can win in the end. My game will show that the more junk food that you eat, the more healthy foods you must eat to compensate for it to keep your body healthy. You need a balenced diet and that is what will defend you.

Day 6: Video reflections

I feel that my video gave me a slightly better understanding of how my game is going to work. It does seem weird doing a tower defence game on paper, but it worked pretty well. I don't think I'll modify much of my game, because I think it will work really well the way it is already designed. It would be really hard to modify it anyway, because that would cause some major changes in my idea. But, I am really glad I was able to the paper prototype so I could see how my game would work.

Day 5: Mingame reflections

The minigame was just my first step into creating my own games. It wasn't all that hard and I learned a lot about basic coding. The best thing about this was being able to learn how to make things move and attack. But, it was pretty confusing near the end making all the different symbols do their jobs.

day 4: My game: continued

Hello! my name is Gabe and my game is going to be about Healthy eating, but i'm going to make it fun. I've decided to make a strategy game of the tower defence variety. By making an interesting and engaging game, people will be able to learn and have fun at the same time.

Day 3:My Game

After thinking out what kind of games I like and which would best represent a social issue, I've decided I will make a tower defence type game with an emphasis on healthy eating. A parade of junk food will enter the screen on a set path and you must set up various healthy foods to repel them.

Day 2

Danger!                                                                                            Identity theft!
It's very important to protect your identity when you are using the internet. If you give out your information, criminals could get a hold of it. Also, you don't always want people seeing everything you do. It's important to keep your things to yourself. The world doesn't want to see a lot of the pictures anyway.

Day 1

It started with simple instructions. Make a blog. I pick a template and get to work. This all seems silly; who would want to read my blog? Maybe Chimi, but he is far too busy in his current endeavors. I hope that in this course, I'll be able to create Flash games fluently. I think I'll attempt a plane flying game or something along the lines of that. I'll have to put more thought into it. I'm really excited that I get to learn this. I've wanted to be able to do this for a long time. But, I am afraid my game will not turn out how I want. I hope I get to finish it.


And my game will involve him!
