Forks Over Knives Flash Project

                                   



This is my flash project over Forks Over Knives . I got the information from the documentary Forks Over Knives .

Local Kids Play Make Games

1 : What I think about the article is that the guy was really surprised we were able to make our games playable and he was upset because once he tried to create a game but didn't work out for him and it was just amazing how he was super surprised we as 8th graders accomplished to make our games work .


2 : The way it made me feel is that I'm really lucky on having the opportunity to be in this class and being able to attend EA prep . It made me feel proud how such making games could be all around the world and everyone knowing about it .


3 : My game was not featured in this article ...


4 :  If my game was featured in this article I would of liked for the author to talk about how hardly we worked on it and to say we are really creative and smart for such making an educational game . I would basically like the author to describe my game .


5 : Well I don't really know what game should the author mention in this article because I think everyone did a really good job this year creating their game .

" Forks Over Knives "

I think this documentary would be about the way a  lot of people eat .  Without them even knowing how much calories they eat everyday , the fat that the people would gain . The people just don't notice how much gaining calories affects them daily .


I think the title implies to the documentary because i guess people fight to burn calories and it implies to the title well that is my opinion but i actually have no idea how the title implies to the documentary . I also think it implies like you use a fork to eat salads and a knife to cut meats .


Notes:


Being obese is a really serious health issue that need to change before it could get worst and could die from it . A lot of people want to change the way the eat but its just to difficult for them to try because it just seems so hard for them since they are so used to what they normally eat in daily basics .

• Cholesterol is a natural process created by animals and humans too .
• People are dying everyday from diabetes .
• When you have diabetes 2 you are in danger of dying so everyday you have to take medicine in order to still be alive .
• You can reduce it by eating healthy food . Like vegetables and fruits . 
• People can also get cancer by the way they eat .
• Corn syrup is so bad for humans to eat .
• Corn syrup doesn't grow naturally .
• People like salty food , fried food and they go to fast food restaurants because they want everything fast and good .
• When someone is in shape they feel much better and they have more energy .

Final Game

Team Name : ADA


Game Title : Unconventional Disaster


Topic Of Game : The topic of my game was to focus on the importance and effectiveness of bullying .


Goal : The learning goal for this game was for the audience to understand that bullying is really a serious problem around the world and that many children are affected really bad by been bullied . We also wanted the audience to learn what to do when they are in the situation that they are been bullied . We included in the game facts about what they should do before anything gets worst .


How would the player learn ? : The player would learn about bullying by learning how its really bad for anyone to bully another kid and the consequences it has when some is been a bully pr is getting bullied . They would learn by answering questions about the actions someone could do to prevent been bullied worst .


What would I like to add or improve upon in the game ? : What I would of liked to add to this game is more level and improve the learning goal , what I mean by this is that I would of like to make the learning goal more efficient , like more visible on what the player is trying to learn in this game .


What was the most challenging of creating this game ? : The most challenging part of creating this game was the levels . The levels where pretty hard because our levels where about a maze and a puzzle . On the maze we had to convert every wall to a symbol in order to make it work , and we had to add a lot of code , and for the puzzle it was as hard as the maze was we had to add a lot of code to both of this levels , but we accomplished it and our game was created .


What are you most proud of  or what did you figure out thorough critical thinking and trial/error ? : What I was most proud of is that this year our game was playable and we accomplished what we wanted which is for our game to actually be playable . I am also really proud of my team mate and self because we actually worked really hard to create this game and make it an educational game .


This is my game that I created this year :

Respect

                               RESPECT    


Respect is a word that means a lot , to everyone . Respect is when you are nice , kind , friendly , etc...
it is the way you treat people . You want to respect everyone like the way you want to be respected/ treated . You want to represent a good thing about yourself and respect is one of the most important things you have to show . Being respectful is showing good manners . The way respect should be shown in a classroom is by always paying attention in class , and most important listen to the teacher . In the computer lab respect is shown by taking care of all material respecting the property . In the hallways respect could be shown my not hanging out in the hallway blocking the path , and not shoving or causing any trouble . Respect during breakfast , or lunch can be shown by respecting every persons lunch time or breakfast time . When visitor come to campus we should absolutely show respect , always act correctly no playing around and show that you care and want to learn . Especially when we visit other places we have to show plenty of respect . Respect needs to always be show and set a good example that you have that respect .

Nike

I think the Nike Sweatshop is a really unfair system because these people are killing plenty of people , taking away their lives . They are also taking away lives of little innocent children , why do they have to suffer over this ? . This is something that really hits me because i really love children and i don't like knowing that they can die . This people should at least pay the people more so they can survive better and live in better homes and also be able to have a better community . I think we should take action for this because we are the ones wearing this objects and causing a lot of people to die soon . I feel we are like the cause because we wear this things and we have to make a change of it . To stop people from having terrible lives and suffering a lot and having their children die , because of diseases and having them get cancer of the rubber burning . What also hits me is that the children aren't able to go to school and they don't have an education and the cycle is going to keep on being the same without no change , unless we take action over it . 

Objects in the sky

How could you take this real-life event and turn this into a game.


I could take this real life event and create a game about it by making by game focus on science about the planets , meteors and scientific things like that .


What genre would you focus on?


I would focus on action , or puzzle and maze .


What skill or topic would your game teach?


The skill or topic that my game would teach is about the planets , meteors and objects that can fall down into our earth .

What would the player have to do in the game?


The player would have to learn facts about the planets and he or she would have to pass a level having to do with planets in outer space .

What would the hero of your game look like? The enemy? 


I don't think i would have a hero nor an enemy , i would just make the levels more difficult . Well probably i would have some objects be the enemy .

What type of animations or sounds would the player see and hear?


The type of animations and sound the player would hear and see is the movement of the player moving , and the rotation of the planets , and the sound would be just like if there was an alien coming , an outer space sound .

What would be the title of your game?


The title of my game could be '' Falling planets '' .

Globaloria and Gamefication, Game Design, & Game Mechanics. 2

Game Designing : is the process of designing a game , giving them the rules , characters , main idea , and the game play .

This three things involved , all in designing a game in order to end up with a final .

Globaloria and Gamefication, Game Design, & Game Mechanics.

What do you learn in Globaloria? 

What i learn in Globaloria is a lot of  new things that have to do with flash . Like for example we learn how to do more stuff with it , like animation , how can we make it move , and stuff like that . We also learn more about technology .


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

• How to add animation  .
• How to edit our wiki pages .
• How to add images / flash files to our wiki .
• How to import a movie to wiki.
• How to use blogger .

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. 
 These skill can prepare me in the future , by helping us get a great job , because we know a lot of  advanced technology .  We can help people at some point with computers .
