Hidden Object Game: Make Paper Prototype

I found difficult to draw the paper prototype. Mostly because I have horrible handwriting and I am no good at drawing. First I drew my main scene then I drew my win and lose scenes. I found that drawing my scene helped me figure out proportions and also how I would hide my objects.

Hidden Object Game: Intro To Flash

• What do you think of Flash so far?

I really like flash and I think it is really cool, but it is limited to only 2d games so its not the best.

• What did you find the hardest to do?

I think the hardest thing is drawing everything. I am horrible at drawing and drawing it on a computer just makes it 10 times worse.

• What did you find the easiest? 

I find that some of the coding is easy and is really simple. Some coding aspects of Action Script 3 are really complicated and it gets confusing at some points.

Hidden Object Game: Plan Game Scene

I really like computers and I find it really interesting to figure out how they are made and how they works. I am planning on making a game where you find parts to build a computer and shows what they are used for. I am excited about learning about the parts and also coding the hidden object game and adding game ingredients.

Hidden Object Game - Choose Learning Topic

I like what parts make a computer run for my topic because I really like computers. I find them really interesting. Also, I have been looking at building my own computer so this will help me learn about different parts. I get to learn and teach people about the parts of the computer.

Hidden Object Game: Play To Learn

I learned about Greek word roots, about mythical beings, and the U.S. Constitution. Some ideas I had for my game were to maybe make one about Greek or Roman gods or maybe another game about sports.

Hidden Object Game: Course Overview

I am most excited to work on programmer the game and adding game ingredients to it. That is my favorite part. I'm most excited to do this because you get to learn new coding information and commands.

• How did the two games handle the issue of homelessness?

The first one, A Hobo's Journey, didn't teach you about the homeless and all it was, was a quiz about the homeless. The second one, Larry, handled it better by teaching you about one homeless person but still taught steroetypical things about homeless people.

• Do you think one was better than the other? 

I think Larry is better because you learned about one thing that can cause homelessness and what can cause people to stay homeless and other one you didn't learn anything but they need to stop using stereotypical things about homeless people.

• What would you do to improve either game?

For the first game I would make it so that you can learn all that facts before you take the quiz and also add some interactive game play. For the second, I would add another short story about another homeless person and you could learn different things.

• What kind of a game would you make about this issue?

I would make a game were people can learn about what causes homelessness and how people can prevent it and what you can try to do to get out of poverty. I would make it interactive and maybe have a quiz at the end.
