First Level

 

This week I have been reconstructing my game, so it won't be a quiz. So far, I have almost completely finished the first level. It was difficult at first because I didn't know the disappearing code. I went to the code and blogging tips and found a code that Mrs.Sheppard had used in making shapes disappear. The first time it didn't work because I didn't give one of the bags an instance name. Finally, when I figured that out, I gave it one and the cellphone disappeared into the bag. I have also started on a new mini-game that you have to choose the correct transportation method to get to the store, but I haven't got it properly working yet.

Assembling the Game Demo

I think that I have learned a lot more about my game topic in the process of making the game demo. I have figured out how I am going to make my game, and some new tips on how to save energy. The game demo was slightly difficult for me because my buttons wouldn't work properly. My layers were also confusing so I decided to just completely redo the game demo.

If I could talk to the journalists, website content-writers, Wikipedia authors or other "knowledge producers", I would suggest that they would do more news reviews on energy waste and ways to save it. Energy is a very important resource to our world. If we don't have it, we can't watch telivision, use cellphones, or run any other household, electrical appliances. I believe that if more people know how important energy is to our society, they will be more willing to save it.

I feel that I have taken my learning into my own hands by researching things on energy. I have read magazines and online articles. Through this process, I have learned new ways to save energy. I have also figured out that the sun and wind are both great renewable energy sources. That means that they will never run out like non-renewable sources do. We can all save energy by doing simple, household tasks such as turning off the lights. I believe that together we can make a difference.

Daylight Savings Time Saves Energy

One of the reasons why we change our clocks to Daylight Savings Time is that it saves energy. Energy use and the demand for electricity for lighting our homes is directly connected to when we go to bed and when we get up. When we go to bed, we turn off the lights, television, gaming systems, and other electrical appliances which saves energy. Studies show that we save one percent of energy each day with Daylight Savings Time.We also use less energy during this time because people usually plan more outdoor activities rather than staying in their homes. 

Timeline for My Game

This week I finished the timeline for my game. It was slightly difficult to decide when I was going to complete certain things. I believe that I will finish the five level questions by March 25 because I am reconstructing my game. I have already done the about, title, winning, and losing scenes. Previously, I finished the first level of my game, but I decided to reconstruct the level because it was a quiz, and wasn't very fun for the player. I have also completed most of the game demo questions (style factor, audience, etc.). I hope to finish these things by the deadlines.
