Final Game

Well, Globaloria is wrapping up. It has been a very fun and interesting class. It has been hard at times for me and the rest of the class but we kept pushing and pushing harder until we finally got finished. I feel a lot better now that most of the stress from this class is gone. It has come in boatloads. I'm really happy now.

Almost There

It is almost time to present our final games in Globaloria. We have to enter them Friday. I will be staying after school Tuesday and Thursday to brush up on things and get finished. I think I will be able to get done. I was must informed about an hour ago that next year our main educational focus will be WV Studies, not math. I hope I will be able to be in this class next year because I have a couple good ideas for a WV Studies concept. It's just a matter of finding a social issue. It should be fun.

My Globaloria Buddies

Globaloria has been very tough this year and I couldn't have made it this far with out my fellow classmates. They have been a huge help. We support each other and push each other to do better. We rarely ever argue with each other and we work very well together. We all believe in each other to do a good job and we trust each other when we need help.

More Trouble...

Just when we thought that everything was going to be good from here on out... BANG! The server messes up. Yesterday, we were having trouble just getting logged on to the computer. We couldn't get on the Internet so I couldn't update my blog or fill out my learning log. Those are really the only things I have to deal with now on the Internet other than checking my Gmail every once in a while. The only thing I could work on yesterday when I finally found a computer that worked was work on Flash. The only problem was that our hard drives weren't working so I couldn't save it there. I saved it to my desktop though so hopefully it stayed. Anyways, apparently the server's working, at least in here, but they haven't announced it over the announcements yet so who knows? That's been the question all year in this class. Who knows?

Flash Upsetting Me

Sometimes Flash can be very upsetting. Whether it's codes or getting things to work. That kind of stuff. I am currently trying to get a score to carry over to another scene but I might have to give up after a little while and just work with what I have. Another upsetting part in Flash is buttons. They don't always go to the scenes you want them too and sometimes it Flashes. You also have to remember to give your buttons an instance name and the scene you want to go to a frame label. I am getting better at it though and I hope I don't have near as many troubles with Flash next year as I am this year.

Dealing With Distractions

There can be distractions in Globaloria that can be hard to deal with. All you can really do is sit by yourself which is really tough because we have free seating and I want to sit with my friends. I decided though that talking to my friends isn't as important as it is getting all your work done and getting a good grade in Globaloria. I still have the rest of the day to talk to them so I do fine.

The Stress of Getting Demos Finished in Time

Globaloria's starting to get more interesting every day. You never know what's going to happen next... Literally. Lately, we've been struggling to be consistent with what lab we are in. The Flash stopped working in our main lab so we've in hopping between two labs ever since for Globaloria. One of them are hooked up to a different server than the rest of the school so when we're in there, I don't have any of my files from my hard drive. To help me with that, I've borrowed one of my nice friend's flash drive. I just learned that you could upload stuff to the Wiki since that's usually always working and I can pull up that file in whatever lab we're in from the Wiki. It's been really helpful. So how does all of this relate to the demo? Well we have to get a demo done because we could be presenting them any time now and switching between labs and not having access to all of your files can really make it hard for you. I've managed though so I hope I am ready by the times we have to present.
