Pseudocode.

My game idea is called Math Racer.
Math problems move automatically from the right side of the stage to the left.
The user controls a car's up and down movements with the arrow keys.
When the car drives through the correct answer, the points go up.

Math problems appear on the right side of the stage and move to the left.
When you press the up button, the car moves up.
When you press the down button, the car moves down.
If the car hits the correct answer, the score goes up.

Difficulties for Our Game.

     The most difficult concept to teach for our topic is the ability to answer the questions quickly. We feel that the player will not be able to beat the game their first time.
     Most of the tutorials we need are on the wiki, and some of the coding we'll need are on the mini game project page. I haven't about the design to help teach yet but I will.

Thanksgiving Break..

     Thanksgiving break was ok for me. The first half of the week I honestly did nothing except sit in my room, and basically do nothing except maybe watch a movie or a play a game. The second half of my break consisted of going to Mount Airy, MD to visit my grandma. To tell you the truth, it was just as boring as it was at home.

Honestly, on weekends or on breaks, I can't think about school. I just can't comprehend it. I thought about what I was going to do when I came back but that was it. I was hoping to have internet at my grandma's so I could touch up on some things but it didn't happen.

Producer or Consumer?

      After being in this class this semester I have thought about this. Since I love to play video games, why not make this a possible career? This class is very hard. I don't hate it, it's just hard. In making video games such as: Call of Duty, Uncharted, or even Gran Turismo 5, take years to make. Gran Turismo 5 was in the works for five years! Not only would it have been hard, but A LOT of work. At this moment in time I'm not sure if I want to pursue a career in producing games or not. It remains to be seen..

Yay Buttons!

Recently in Flash I learned how to use and make buttons in flash. I thought it was really interesting. It wasn't really that hard after I think about it. The coding was kind of difficult at first, but when I realized on how to do it, it was easier than what I made it out to be. The tutorials were really helpful for me. I just have to watch the tutorials more than once to get it right.

The Last Blog..

Please disregard of what was being said in my last blog. After actually getting used to using flash, I kind of understand it better. I just have to watch the tutorials closer and better. Along with reading the wiki. So, again please disregard what was said in my last blog. Thanks.

So Far in Game Design..

So far in Game Design I'm honestly starting to dislike this class. I have never used flash before and it is to complicated to use. The tutorials aren't that helpful either. Also, since I have not used Flash before, there should be more time to do the assignments for the game demo. I am most likely going to get a zero because I am having a hard time finishing it. I can already tell that I will not be taking Game Design 2, that's for sure. I thought I would be having a fun and awesome time in Game Design. I guess I was wrong..
