Present

The learning topic: How to distinguish healthy foods from unhealthy foods.

Research: I researched general guidelines of healthy and unhealthy foods.

Making desisions: My ideas didn't change.

Master programming: The resource I most used is a boy named Michael, because he is more reliable than the wiki itself, which is pretty vague.

Overcoming challenges: he most difficult part of my game was adding the game ingredients, since they all refused to work. I eventually got them to work with Michael's help. The feature I'm most proud of is the sound effects.

Adding Game Ingerdients

In my opinion, this is the single most difficult task I have ever done on a computer. For about a month I struggled with adding a scoreboard, a message box, and sound bytes. The computer trolled me more times than I could count. But eventually I got the code to work, and my game is now complete.

Adding hidden objects

This is the first time I worked with ActionScript in Flash, and so I had a lot of trouble getting the program to work at first, but it then decided to obey my will and finally started working. Hopefully adding the scoreboard won't be as hard.

Drawing background

Drawing my background was confusing. At first I thought that you used your prototype to use as a blueprint, but as it turns out, you actually have to import it into Flash and trace it! But once I did that, most of the work that I thought I was going to do was already done for me. Once that was done, I uploaded it and then got to work on my objects.

Paper Prototype

What I learned from making a paper prototype that adding all of the details in a game on paper is complicated. The easy part was drawing all of the objects in the game scene, but that hard part was adding all of the details to the scoreboard and taking into consideration that not all the objects are going to be taken. I still need to add more details though.

Post Election Day 2012

I'm sad that no third parties won any states. Gary Johnson and Jill Stein deserved the White House just as much as Obama (and so much more than Romney). I wish we had had fake elections at school to determine who us kids would have liked to have as president.

My game idea

What excites me about my game idea is that using this game' kids will be able to make food choices for themselves, such as picking both an apple and a pizza slice from the fridge. The kids who play this game will receive points for choosing healthy foods, and will be docked points for choosing unhealthy foods. The goal is to get the most points possible out of choosing six foods.
