Wednesday!

Hello!

Since we are following along moreorless with the Rethink curriculum, we were asked to do a paper-prototype for our game. Since none of us knew how to do this, we started the day with a conference call with Daniel about paper-prototyping. We ended up hearing him on the phone and watching him on a computer. After a few jokes about Dell vs. Macs, Daniel began to explain to us what it is and he showed us the paper-prototype he has for his game "Circuit." Until about 5was working on putting the demo of game together. I worked on the prototype first with the girls and then after they were gone. Jeff came over and wanted to teach me how to use tweens and symbols on Flash since that would help make the amount of space a game takes up a lot smaller and load a lot quicker since Flash would not be trying to draw the same image in each frame. I went to the level I had been working on and changed the cars into symbols. I made two cars with two different speeds which I will use twice on my level. Tomorrow, hopefully I will have time to teach the girls how to do this so that we can make the file smaller and ultimately the game load faster. After that Itay asked me to fix the wiki page on myhlife so that all the videos and flash are in the section they belong.

Until Next Time,
