True Friends Stab You In The Front

Well, we're back, not to excited ,but I'll deal with it. The other part of my team is not here, e.j. is predictable at it's most. I will more than likely have to make this game on my own...I mean read the title, oh well I think I can handle it if I focus. I'm going to start on our paper prototype, I should be ahead of the game, but things happen and I haven't had time at home to do schoolwork over break it's not an excuse, it's simply the truth. My mind is blank so I'm guessing I'll end this with have a nice day and look out for updates.

In This Life I Am Alive

Blogging, yeah finally sorry, but I don't think so that's how this is going to happen. I've been working on a new game idea with ej and we designed photos for WOLFP.A.C. and we still have to decide on which ones to use. I'm still trying to stay focused, but to much stuff is going on in my life right now. I'm going to work on the mini game that they give us every year in a little while and for some reason my log in won't work on the wiki. It's saying I'm logged in but it doesn't show my page it just shows numbers and gives you a few options. Everyone is still trying to get used to flash, but they will soon figure out that it's going to take a while. I mean I've been in this for three years and I still don't get it completely.

Born Into Hate

I haven't updated this for a while, man, anyways time to fill in the details on how things are going to happen this year. The "New Kids" caught up a little big with all the beginner stuff in this class. E.J and I used our spare time to start working on our games from last year. I couldn't really get anything accomplished because the laptops we got didn't have internet connections so I couldn't use actionscript or use my resources. I'm working on my attitude towards this class, I feel as if I'm trying for nothing getting nothing back for trying. It's a hard thing to explain and none the less it's not a big deal, but I have my own problems to worry about.

Dynamite Organs with Plastic Elbows

Well today is a new day and we are off to a good start. I mean in my opinion a good start. We took the class through the usual globaloria entry intro to flash and tweening, stuff like that. The wikis are set up, and now they are setting up their blog as we speak. They will personalize it today and tune the settings on their accounts. I'm going to trim up the webpages a little bit and just try to work with flash a little. That's it....Deuces

Circle After Circle We Are Useless

We are back and ready to dominate ha....Veterans are here woof woof. I had a pretty good summer and I'm ready to go out with my senior year being my best year, and I hope everyone gets something out of what we are doing and what is intended for this class. I've had my ups and downs but they cant compare to the ups and downs with flash (kidding). The new students to the class don't know what they signed up for, or what they were chosen for. This is my last and third year in Globaloria and I have been priveleged and given the chance. Here we go year three..i can't stand the excitement (kidding again)

The Light Is As Dark As The Tunnel

We presented last week finally and our team did better then expections thought.
I posted the newest game to my projects page, I updated the learning the log, I trimmed the loose ends off of the team page, and uploaded our game to the game gallery. I'm satisfyed with the way our game turned out to be. If we ever get the chance to finish the game, I will pursue that chance and finish what we started. This year has been rough but I've learned lessons that I never have been tought fully. Teamwork is an important concept, without it things wouldn't get done and things would be as far gone as we are. Determination runs deep in some and thats a life guideline I've come to notice. I wish everyone a good summer, hope to see you next year if I still remain here. Xavier Out.....

Keep Your Sunny Days I Have and Umbrella

I tried all week to get the coding right in the help screen and adding it to the game with the screens edited, and I still didnt completely finished. I tried though. It was get complicated because I couldn't figure out how to put the opposite file to the game, with actionscript and everything. I tried changing code, moving layers, and renaming things.I updated on the wiki to. I entered what I've been working on in my learning log, and edited some of the personal information.

Open Road With Nowhere To Go

It's Wednesday and I'm still trying with the help screen and it's starting to become very aggrivating and annoying, I suck at actionscript so much. I had a good day off, unsuspected things happened, maybe some for the better, but I have not determined that yet. I don't know if we are going to go with the hand idea or not. It would look good, but the whole time ratio is kind of pushing against our toes. I'm still going to try and work on the help screen and hopefully I will figure something out and I still might try to find a good hand to use i'm not quite sure, I guess I'm going to wing it, like always. We give updates every friday for the class, and soon we have to present to the boss man. crunchtime

Escape This Shell

It's update monday...Noone is here because it's senior skip day and I wish i didn't come to be completely honest. I worked on the extra screens to the main menu, autumn made the buttons and I just changed the appearance and text. Prom was fun, and I want to go next year if I'm still around. I'm still try with actionscript, I want to get better with it, but don't know how far I'm going to get. I looked at a couple wiki's from other schools and I'm sorry but happy to say we are doing a lot better then a bunch of schools. I'm just updating, and working on the extra screens. I also had a cool idea to put a huge hand in the game to where it would look like when you are playing the game that you are actually picking up trash...it was just an idea.

Think About What We Dream About

This morning started of not so great. I could barely pry myself from where I fell asleep last night. This weekend was not a good one, it wasn't a horrible one, but not a good one either. I'm going to try and fix the bonus screen, for some reason it's being complicated. Monday is my update day. I'm going to be working on new posts and organizing and fixing the other posts is something I will work on. I don't feel as if I'm an asset to my team because coding doesn't come naturally to me, and I'm no good with it. I try to work with it, but it never turns out the way I wanted. Then again I'm just the graphic designer.

Stop Running Backward

It's Friday and we've been trying to work out the kinks in our games. We did a quick presentation for practice the other day and we got a couple good pointers from Mrs. Leef and Mrs.Neal. I posted the bonus screen including questions to the team wiki, but for some reason it turned out looking really weird and didn't have all the components I had put in the screen. I'm going to try and fix it today. I made some cool designs yesterday that we could possibly use in our game. I've been getting side tracked lately and I can feel slipping up is coming to me. I hate it.

Seperate Yourself

It's Monday, and I'm not in the greatest mood, cuz i just don't feel good. I've been a little sick since Friday morning. I will be ok I think. I'm just posting a blog to start off the week. We have come a bit farther and we will hopefully get some done by the end of this week. I'm also learning a lot about fireworks, and i still love it. I just think it's easy to use and can do a lot of different things. It's just a little side thing. Hopefully my day will get better. Let's watch.

You Would Have Done The Same

This week, I updated a lot and uploaded all the new stuff we were working on. Levels are done, the bonus screen is done, and shawn got a lot of the coding finished and rid the game of glitches as much as possible. Autumn is trying as hard as she can to find items and improve the levels if needed. I haven't heard much about Caitlyn, but I hope she's doing ok and I wish her and her baby the best :). I have been trying to work really hard and I've been trying to see what my life is worth. I haven't found a lot yet on the subject,but it's enough to keep me breathing. The game is turning out somewhat of what we wanted,but if it doesn't I don' t think I will care just because we are trying to make a game and making any kind of game is hard so as long as we get n it done then i will be satisfied, and even if it's not finished. We tried and that's all that matters to me.

Asleep At The Wheel

It's been a long week, but i'm almost done. I uploaded a bonus screen I made, but the thing is is that I'm going to admit I could have taken more time to make it look good,but oh well. I finished finding random objects for the school level finally. I think our game will turn out to be ok. Shawn is doing a good job on the coding and Autumn is doing good at picking up slack, I think it's a good time. I'm still trying my best, giving it my all I guess. I'm working some in fireworks and I still love it.

Sing Me To Sleep Tonight Sweet Juliet

Today I'm trying to find random items, more of them. We are going to need more if we are going to make these levels a little more complicated and just to make the game fun for the search and find process. I don't feel to hot today. I feel like passing out and me vomiting doesn't help that. So if I cut this entry short I'm sorry, I just don't feel up to all this. The show last night was great...Mayday Parade was amazing!!!! I never thought i would see them live in show,but It was great. Other then that nothing just finding random items...trying to figure out code.

I Set Myself Free

Okay, I am working on our coding,but we are kind of hitting a block. The actionscript we need to figure out is how to make things disappear when you drag and drop, you drag it and when you drop it, it disappears. Since our game has to have something to do with chemistry or the periodic table, I'm going to attempt to make a bonus screen to teach about elements and different componenets in recycables. We need to figure out how to make bubbles appear from an object when clicked so we can state facts about certain peices of trash or recycables. I'm trying to change the attitude on myself like I said before we don't know how far I'm going to get,but I don't have anything else to lose. The interview is tomorrow and they are going to speak to me about our game. I'm pretty nervous, but I'm confident I will do an ok job with presenting our idea as a returning veteran.

Loose Lips Sink Ships

Spring Break is officially done and over with and I can not exactly say I'm happy to be back,but let's just say it's not that bad. My team isn't here and I have no idea where to start or where I should begin my journey for the day. I didn't get a chance over break to get on and try to work on some stuff, and that's probably what is going to hold me back a little. My mom is doing good, she has become a lot closer to the family and to me. It's just like the old days right now. I'm going to try and do better in school,but I don't know how far this is going to go, wish me luck.

It's Not Just A Party It's A Murder Scene

We've been working on our games for the most part :) Hopefully ours will turn out the way we expected,but if it doesn't at least we know we still tried...I uploaded all the levels I have created to the myglife site and they are ready for viewing. So I could talk about what I wish to talk about I started a blogger account for my own personal wandering...http://lifeasxxxavier.blogspot.com/ just click and read...no difficulties...
I've been in a hole for a while but I'm getting there :)
Our team works well together and we all do the jobs we can obviously see that need to be done.

Ms.Brown Eyes A Harlot You Are and A Harlot is All You Can Be

I've been working on the level screens a lot. We looked up images from google and just trace bitmaped them to blend with the rest of the game. I have so far four done and I'm pretty sure that is all we will need.

Goals:
1- Finish level screens
2-create trash objects
3-Finish game menu
4-Develop actionscript

As you can see we have stuff to keep us busy..

Morphine and Dr.Pepper

I updated the team page today. I told everyone about what we have done thus far and what needs to be accomplished. I guess this is where we need to brace the walls because we have to go at it will determination and perserverance. I'm dragging along and I don't know how big of an asset I'm going to be to the team,but hopefully it will turn out for the best. I'm going through a lot of different life changing things and I don't know if I should keep my head up because nothing is turning out for the good.

I tried posting an entry last week, but it didn't get through the signal wall we have i guess. I'm finishing my powerpoint and i finally got hold of some information about actionscript I actually can understand. It's turning out good for the best part though. I'm not a good mood at all I'm tired, I'm stressed, and I'm not doing good in LIFE at all right now, but hopefully it fades by tomorrow...probably not.

Try To Walk on Water but Baby Your Going To Sink...

We were asked to answer....

What is your favorite game and why, then follow up with how your game is going to be incorporating those components?

Well it might sound kind of low grade and pretty lame but my favorite game is brick from the ipod company. When I'm listening to music which is what i do every day with my life it keeps me busy and it helps me get my mind off of things I've been thinking to much about. I have no idea how we can use examples or anything from that game. They use a feature that when your finger slides around the control panel on the ipod your platform moves across the button, we might use that same thing to where you can use your mouse and just move it without clicking and it controls the actions of certain characters.

I guess I'm back...I'm hating it to be honest but...It took me a couple more days to re-organize myslef because for one I was sick and for two I just had a lot of personal problems that i can't really handle right now...Fireworks is fun i've made some cool stuff with it, I mean photoshop is better but what can you do,right? All i can say is i don't know how big of an asset i'm going to be to this class anymore...my mind and state of life is getting the best of me and i hate it....i don't like being this open but i just don't know what to do.....
