Me bored on Blogger

Well, I am dissapointed about the epic loss that happened to WVU football against LSU. It was suppose to be closer, like last year, but it just couldn't happen. Oh well. I am happy for Jeff Gordon, since he moved 6 positions from 11th in the Chase for the Sprint Cup to 5th. Lets go...... MOUNTAINEERS!!!!!!!

Playing to Learn

1) What did you learn from your choice of games and genres to review?
I learned that stragety might be a good genre while anything sports seem to typically not do well in the learning aspect of the games. 
2) Name any game features that stood out to you, either because they were interesting or because they could be improved.
In Atiyi, I felt that th background and game play need to be the same for every playthrough.
3) Write down any questions you have about the game or genre you chose.
What is the perfect genre for a game that includes learning?

My Mini Game

At first, it was somewhat hard to make a mini game because I am used to Java from my Computer Science class, and this is a completely different computer language. After a little bit, it got much easier, until I had to make my own game. I forgot what to do, so I just copied and pasted my code from my first mini game to my new mini game. The best part is that I feel good that when I see my game, I feel happy about what I did. The worst part is making the shapes. To me, it is tough to make shapes using my mouse because I don't have a steady hand.

Single Story

1) What does it mean to have a 'single story' about a place or community?
A single story is what people think of a certain area.
2) Describe a single story you have heard told about your community. What is missing from that story? How could people learn more about that community?
One story is that we all are a bunch of single tooth hillbillies. The fact is that we are not like that. We are just like any other city our size in the United States. 
3)Describe a single story you have heard about another community. How did you learn that story? How could you find out more about that community?
Well, a single story that I have heard is that the kids at South Charleston High School are all poor druggies. I heard of this during the hype before the big GW vs. SC game earlier this year. To learn the truth, I could just ask a friend that goes there and see what he thinks. 
4) How could a game let players experience many stories about a place or community?
A game can let people see that one community isn't what the single story is about.

Meeting Flash

Yesterday, we started flash, finally. We have done nothing except play aroung for almost a week, which was fun, but I just seemed boring near the end. In meet flash, we basically made objects move. I know this seems boring, but when you do it, it makes you happy that you just did that. I liked it, but I am also taking another computer course that uses a different script (Java), so it might be confusing for me, but I will get used to the two scripts and eventually be able to seperate commands from Java and Flash. Also, completely not related, GO JEFF GORDON!!!!!!!!! I hope he wins the championship and dethrone five time champion Jimmie Johnson.

Football

Today is Friday (YAY!!!!) and I am leaving today to go to a WVU football game that is Saturday. I'm excited to go, even though it would be just me and my aunt. It'll be fine though.
