Plan Game Scene

I have a perfect idea to make probably my best game so far. I think that this year my game is going to be amazing not only because I actually have a perfect idea of what i want to do but because i have way more skills that I had before and I have been using this program for my forth year now. My skills have grown and so has my imagination. I know that I am capable of doing more things now and also I know that more people can help me out. I am really excited for the creation of this game because I am going to be allowed to learn more about Mexico and its tourist places. I am going to be teaching the player different places where they are most likely going to be going if they visit Mexico. Also some words in Spanish are going to be used through this game with its definition of course  I cant wait till I start drawing in Flash and I actually see my game come alive and be just how i imagine it or better.

Presidential Debate 1

Last night the first presidential Debate. There was a lot of issues brought up but there were some main ones that were noticeable that are big issues. One of the main ones that I thought was really important are Taxes. Obama said that he would like to make the small businesses pay a higher tax rate so that they economy can pay off the debt owed but Romney on the other hand said that he would make the tax rate lower ad also make the interest lower so that the business can grow and the economy could rise. There was a big dispute on the welfare. Welfare on Obama's side is a thing that should be kept and conserved because there is a lot of people that even making as much money as they are making they wouldn't be able to pay as much money to be able to do regular check ups and things like that. Romney said that he wants to cut unnecessary corporations that are not worth borrowing money from China.

Rule 2

Find objects that fit a specific category or criteria:

I would like to incorporate this into my game because this was actually one of the things that I wanted to put into my game since the  of the school year and now I have better ideas about it. I makes me think that my game is going to be interesting and that the player is going to enjoy it a lot while playing. I would like to player to be learning and to have fun. 

Playing to learn

I learned a lot of things by playing this games. I learned that not just because its a looking for things game it doesn't have to be boring. I also learned a new way of making games because i have never actually seen this as an idea for the making of my video games. This has just helped me a lot in ideas. 

Danger of a Single story

"Danger Of A Single Story"

1)What does it mean to have a 'single story' about a place or community?

Is to have an idea about a place where you have never gone to and you make assumptions about it, usually never good thoughts.

What is missing from that story? How could people learn more about that community?

2)Describe a single story you have heard told about your community.

I have heard people saying that in my community every person is s thug and that they have no future. They do not know that a lot of people where I live at they actually go to school and they do have bright futures. I think that they really need to go to my community and actually hang out with people so that they can see what is really going on.

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?

I found out about the single story of the east side of Austin. I have always lived on the North side of Austin so when I heard that the east side is a really bad side to study at because of all the drop outs and the gangs and drugs I was really scared because I had to study in this certain area. Once I went to the school and really spent time in this side of Austin I realized that it was not like how people describe it. Yes it does have drugs and gangs but its not everywhere.

4)How could a game let players experience many stories about a place or community?

It can tell them by making the game with information about the certain topic that they have in order for them to learn more. I could also have images or pictures about the topic.

A New Year

My school year has been really different from last year. A lot of things have changed since last year. The main thing that made everything like if we have moved a level up and that we are more advanced now is the new campus. I have really liked the new campus because of the the gym and one things that i do not like is that we have to eat in the gym because we do not have a cafeteria yet. i have really liked the classes so far though i have to say that the new teachers are really getting our attention and we are getting adapted to them really fast. Almost all the people staff is new in our school but they are really cooperating and they are being nice to us and trying to get adapted. This year i am trying to accomplish obtaining all As ! last year I only had a B as my grade for the class and it was a 89! i wouldn't like to have the same problem holding me back this year. I also want to be more healthy and to be more active . This year i am going to play all sport in order to accomplish this goal ! I want to be stronger and maybe even loose weight in order to have a healthier life. I would like to learn another language since there is not any programs for foreign languages at the moment, I have not been able to work on this goal yet but the school is already working for it. I want this year to be amazing academically and also sports wise!
