Learning with game

I feel like I have taken the process into my own hands, because I am no longer asking for help from the teacher. But taking the problems and tasks into my own matters, and me and my partner are figuring out other problems and cool little things with each other. I can improve my self learning skills for the future by pacing myself as I am learning and working on my game demo.

designing game plan

on our team i play the role of graghic designer, content expert/client, informational architect, and writer.
on this team i look forward to making the best game in the class.
the hardest thing about the collaborative work is trying to figure out who is doing what and trying to decide what we are going to do.

finishing the Mini Game

Im so happy that i finished the mini game because pyutting in some of the codes didnt work out to well.  I do play games in my free time and the ones i play are action and adventure games. and they are my favorite because to me they are better than the games that you find words or answer questions.  this topic gives me a new prospective on games because now i see the steps it takes to make all these games that i play.

MINI GAME PROJECT

in the mini game project i am almost done. the only agrivating thing about the mini game project is trying to get the codes to work because they never work. but is is going pretty well because we are getting through it with help from other people.

CHOOSING A TOPIC

• 1.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hunger_Site
• 2.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeRice
• 1. www.freedomfromhunger.org/
• 2. http://feedingamerica.org/

    My name is Brian Gore and my topic is Freedom from Hunger. These links helped my research because it gave me lots of information to help me with my game design when i was working on it. i got a general idea where there was the most poverty and hunger and thats where i decided to where my game would take place.

GAME REVIEW

 '''GAME REVIEW #1: MOST EFFECTIVE Learning Game'''                           

* Name of the game that taught you the MOST about its learning topic: wv animal squad resue

* What social issue or educational topic does the game explore? It is a game about stray animals and what you should do to help them.

* What can you learn from this game? How to take care of animals and what you should do If they are hurt

* What game genre is it? Do you think this genre is a good choice for creating a learning game? Why or why not? It is adventure, I think it is a fairly good choice because there is some adventure in saving animals.

* Design Analysis (Does it look good? Does it clearly illustrate the issue or learning concept?) the game does look good and it does clearly illustrate the issue.

* Usability Analysis (Is it clear what you need to do as a player? Does it work well?) yes

* Suggestions for improvement. How would you change the gameplay to make the learning and play experience work together better? the graphics could be a little better and they could have set the game play better.

* List 2-3 things that you would like to learn how to do (in terms of functionality, design or content) I would first want to learn how to design a game, and I would like to learn how to put content in the game.

'''GAME REVIEW #2: LEAST EFFECTIVE Learning Game'''

* Name of the game that taught you the LEAST about its learning topic: medical mysteries

* What social issue or educational topic does the game explore? I taught about diseases and what they used to kill them

* What can you learn from this game? Not really anything

* What game genre is it? Do you think this genre is a good choice for creating a learning game? Why or why not? Adventure, I don’t think it’s a good choice because I don’t see how this kind of game fits in adventure.

* Design Analysis (Does it look good? Does it clearly illustrate the issue or learning concept?) yes it does look good but it didn’t illustrate the issue and I didn’t learn anything.

* Usability Analysis (Is it clear what you need to do as a player? Does it work well?) I need do design good games that gets my point across.

* Suggestions for improvement. How would you change the gameplay to make the learning and play experience work together better? i would try to put more information I the game to help people learn more

* List 2-3 things that you would like to learn how to do (in terms of functionality, design or content) I would want to learn what content is suitable for game and what’s not and how not to bore people with my games.

mini game project

We just started the mini game project. It seems like its going to be fun, but we havent really gotten going because some people dont know what they are doing or they do anything. I think if we will get this done fast if we can do this by ourselves instead of doing it with the class because we keep having set backs and we dont have but like ten minutes to do something. Well hopefully we get it done before the end of the year.

The BrainPop Videos

i learned that you arent supposed to give out certain information about yourself or others on bloggs. you are also not supposed to say peoples names on blogger. i also now know that blog is short for weblogs. and that bloggs are for all sorts of things like music and newsletters and other things. my plan for keeping my learning log updated is to do it everyday. 

MY BREAK

this week i had a pretty good break. i got what i wanted so i coild have fun the whole one week of break. i couldnt get out much because my mom decided to work the whole week instead of take the week off. i aslo whatched alot of football during the break because i had nothing better to do than to sxit around and watch tv. other than that i had a good break.

CHRISTMAS

     CHRISTMAS IS IN 3 DAYS!! i am so excited its almost christmas. the bad thing is that we have to school all the way to christmas eve, which i think is stupid. i finished all my christmas presents and ive tried to be good so i can get all the presents i wanted.
     ive also been watching all the christmas specials that have come one over the christmas holiday. like Christmas With the Cranks, and Deck the Halls. these movies are quality movies that are realy funny. i also watched the grinch, and other movies during this 25 days of christmas.
    tomorrow we have a christmas party that Jacob milam hopefully its a good party but i dont know.

GOALS

my goals that i have set for Globaloria is to get through the year, try to blogg and update my learning log, try to have fun, and

snow

it snow yesterday and it was great. hopefully we get tons more snow than what we get

TURKEY FOR LUNCH

im so happy because wwe had turkey for lunch. it was actually hot and they gave us a lot. the turkey was so good, but the bad thing is that the turkey is putting me to sleep in the Glob. we also had pumpkin pie and that was the best school pie i have ever had. the only thing is that we thought that we were going to have turkey on friday before the thanksgiving not today. but is was still good.

FOOTBALL

Now football is over. we lost to williamstown in the first round of the playoffs. it was very sad because some of the seniors will never play football ever again. we had a pretty good year but it could have been better.

DAY OFF

im so glad that tomorrow we get a day off. maybe i can get a little rest before the game on friday. i dont think so because i have practice and i have to get the rest of the leaves up before my dad gets mad. ill try to get as much sleep as i can. i might even go out after practice to the all or something and get out the house.

TIRED

im very tired this week. my athsma medicine is working so it makes me very tired and sleepy. im trying to finish my medicine before the game on friday so i can be refreshed and focused for the playoff game. hopefully after this week things will go back to normal before the holiday season starts so i can feel better. ive got all these tests and reports due to in a few weeks. hopefully i feel better.

GAME DAY

today we play independence. its going to be really cold and and wet and its supposed to snow alot. ive been sick all week and i havent been to practice all week. maybe since ive been sick i wont get as much playing so i have a chance to wet. i have to take alot of medicine before my game and i have to take a breathment treatment so i dont die on the field while im playing. and hopefully we win tonight.

SICK

i really dont feel good today. i had to take alot of medication today because of my asthma and i guess it  made me sick. i couldnt go to practice and this is the second day i missed practice, thats not good. hopefully i get better by tomorrow so i can practice then play on friday.

blogger

Today i have to blog and do all my work so i can get a good grade in globaloria. i think mrs jones shouldnt make us do anything until she gets her paycheck. im really stressed out with all this school work. and im mad at my  partner because he doesnt help me do any work in this class. I actually dont know what he does in this class. hopefully this week gets better.

stressed week

this week is horrible because im very tired and im sick.  this week has gone by slow and all my classes take forever. i have like ten tests and a cell model due this week and my mom wont let me get my class ring so  ive been anger all week. hopefully thhis week ends fast
