Timer
Timer. It was hard and it was easy. The one in class was easy. It was easy to follow. The other assignment was hard. It was break up into 6 parts. The first one was easy and the second was also except that it needed one or two lines for code for action script 2.0. Then the third was easy when you kept the code from the last and add what it wanted to add but only in Action script 2.0. Then the rest was hard to follow but I tried my best and try for about an hour and half. I have it working but not how it supposed to be. I am going to go ahead and post it for a grade and maybe on Monday get it fix. I looked at all that code with the reset because that is the problem. When you hit the reset button the second hand will go to where the 3 will be on the clock but that was not right…… I had change the 0 to a -90 and it work with moving the second hand to the right place, the O or 12 but it did not move like it should.. I know it has to do with the code but I was stessing out with it and it was to complex . A lot had to be put into Action script 2.0 so I think I didn't have something right or it could be with my second hand. Could it be where I rotated it? I will have it check out and fix it Monday. I hope.

Sound Effects
Sound Effects
I think sounds effects will be really useful for my game. It will be very use for my shopping game and other games, I have. I kind of it with the shopping bag now, I know that I will use it for other things that I need but that is really a lot ahead then what I am thinking now. If I get the “first level “ of my game done. I will go to the next level. Where most of the sound effects are and I will add them then and be better prepare for it by then to. I think I may write another blog for this when I get that far. I think it will be easy to do the code because it does not seem that bad. I know I will have it one the drag and drop games and when you get something wrong or right and also when you get a fact but that is in the “second level” of my game and I am just finishing up my “first level” so I really can’t say much about this yet.

Collision Detection
Collision Detection
Collision Detection is very useful and I will use it a lot. I can tell there as a lot of code for it and it seem a little complex but I can think I can use it for a few things in my game. It will be tricky with all the code and to make sure you don’t miss up in the code will be the tricky part. I think this will work in a few of my games. I just have to get up to work it into my game. I have not really had a chance to add this to my game yet but this is in my “second level” of my game. So maybe when I add collision detection to my game I can write another blog about this. I can tell it will be hard though.

Score Keeping
Score Keeping
Score keeping is something I know I will use for my shopping game but it will not be for score it will be for price. I was okay with how to do this in class but when I want to add this to my game I missed up then I have to follow what we did in class and fix it but I was have other problems with the code. But that was easy fix by my teacher.. And I fought with it for like 3 hours before hand. I know the problem but I did not know how it fix it.. I think that score keeping is very important and I will try to use in my game a lot.

Scrolling Background
Scrolling Background
Scrolling Background, I know I am going to use it for that shopping game it will be great to put more items on the paper and space out then cramp up together and making it hard to pick the item you want. I also want to change the scrolling background I have have up on the page. I wanted to make the ground longer because it looks weird. I was going to do it today but I had troubles with the timer to work on it and fix it. Though I should have done that first because that should have took 5 or 10 minutes. So on Monday I will get it the way I want it but just leave the one on there now for the grade. other then that I think that I will think about where to include this to other games. I think it will be useful and handy to have.

Special Effects
Special Effects
I talked a little about Special Effects in the blog called moving on a path. I think I am going to use this for the items in my shopping game. I think it will be interest and not the same thing over and over and it will give the user something to watch and want to click on the items more and more. It will also allow the user to have more fun while playing. I may plot ways for each item and I think it will work. This is something that was not check on the list but I like to add it to my game. So with luck I can add them and not far behind with what I do need. Which, I think I can do it.

Moving on a Path
Moving on a Path
I think this one will help with my game. I already have it for the apple for my shopping game. I am thinking to have a moving path for all the items in the shop. I am leaving the apple the same. because that was so much work and I am leaving it as it is. I am going to add a banana and I am thinking about have it to spin before going into the bag. And I will also like to have different little things with the other items going in to the bag like bouncing and expending or disappearing to reappearing. Even though moving on the path was not on of my check items to have done but I think I want to use it for my shopping game. I don’t have special effects check either. Maybe I can switch some of my checks on my personal training plan to moving on a path and special effects. I have a lot of thinking to do and more I get done the better of I will be.

Finding Solutions
Finding Solutions
Finding Solutions, the first thing I do is try to check the code and if I have nothing misspelled. It was from the projector I would check to make sure I copy it right. Then I would check to make sure all the instances was right… If I could’t find the problem I would ask the teacher or assistants. If the teacher or assistant was not available I would use the web or what was posted on blackboard. But sometimes it may be a simple mistake that was over looked and another pair of eyes will be helpful. But I have done a lot of trouble shooting but I would fight with the computer and flash for hours then when I give up I will ask the teacher and it was something simple or add a frame or adding a line. So all that wasted time for something simple. SO I think If I can’t get the first 4 or 5 tries I either going to set back from it and move on then come back to it or ask for help the next time I have problems.

learing from others
Learning from Others
Learning from others is one of the factors that had helped me the most especially with one of my games idea. It may be confusing with how they did it and what they did with out asking them. I think if you look and learn from them you are only increase your gaming skills and creating new ideas and plus you may be the one that helps some one with their project. When the teacher is not there it is good to learn from them and then if you have problem ask them or the teacher. I had this problem last semester. I wanted to do something similar to another student and could not do it right but the more I tried the more frustrated I got until I ask the teacher. Then he said that I could have asked the student how he did that. I did not think of that and all the frustrated and stress for nothing. It turned out that I had two things wrong. So next time I want to do something similar to another student. I will ask the teacher or that student after I try a few times. Hopefully I can solve the problems with ease now since I am getting use to flash.

Programming Practices
Programming Practices
Programming practices I think that having all the actions on one layer is an excellent idea. I wish I had known that before hand and it would have safe me some troubles that I did have. I also like the leaving notes in the code. That is helpful when you are looking for a code that you need for something else. I think this should also be taught in the first class. Because this is really helpful and also this is really small and simple that will not be too much on the Gaming one students. Also since you are starting out it will be good to know so that way you will learn that from the beginning and use it for the future instead of getting lost in the code and have to found a code you want. If you start this way, you will not have so much trouble in the first place. The tutorial for this helps. It will be really cool that they break down everything like this with other action code. This will be really useful. Even if they have it, it will be really good for them to put them with the Topics.

Intro to Action Script
Intro to Action Script
As we started to cover some of these in class, I realize how important they are. I also realize that I wished we learned some of this in the Gaming one but that may have put way too much on beginners of Flash. Action Script is really important for flash and essential for any game. Action Script tells the program what to do and how to do it to help make the game better. There is really no way to have a working game with out Action Script. With out Action Script the game will not function correctly and there will not be any player interaction. I just wished that it wasn’t that easy to mix up in the codes. But when there is a mistake it is usually just it is missing a symbol or it has a misspelled word. I have learned the more you play with the codes the more you know and the more you will know how to fix it. I think action Script is hard and hard to read because at first it is like looking at a foreign language. I think if more of the common action codes would be introduced or some what introduced in the first gaming class because students can learn and have more ideas on their games. Or at least have something better for their game at the end of the semester to have a better presentation then they would have.
