Happy Thanksgiving

My brothers are coming down from college to hang out with us in Charleston, then we will take them back up to college at Saint Vincent College. BUT before all of that, we will go our grandparents house for a second thanksgiving dinner. We usually have thanksgiving dinner with them every year, so this could be considered a tradition. My mom cooks a turkey, and stuffing from scratch. She also makes mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, and rolls. It's a feast. With my three days, I get to do Chemistry.

Did he also represent the lollipop guild??

His father might have been ashamed of him, so he had all of these rituals done in hope to make him taller. Although doing witch doctor rituals may not have ben the best way to try and make him taller. His dad was probably jealous of Robert Wadlow. If I was his dad, I wouldn't know what to do. I'm not a dad. If I was Karl, I would have done the same things he had done. I would have protested with my father if he wanted to sell me. I commented on Austin's blog.

Adding the Scenes

I am using visual storytelling to help the players understand what will be going on in our game. Following along with each of the scenes allows the players to get a better inside story to how our game should turn out. I don't remember any of the playing to learn games that I played had a story to it, but there probably were some that I just didn't get to play. Many storytelling games are very fun to follow because once a player gets into the story, they want to play the game until it is finished. Just like many of the campaigns of the first person shooters out today such as HALO REACH and CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARFARE 3. Our game will obviously not be as good as the call of duty series, but with theodore Roosevelt being a prolific figure in american history, hopefully players will get caught onto our game, Assault in Cuba. I commented on Henry's blog,

But what if the robot dog was blind?... Then we would probably blog about it.

The robot is programmed to never fail, so having a regular dog might make walking be bad. Some disadvantages would be if the program for the dog would go wrong, then there would be a random blind person with no guidance which wouldn't end well. I don't know if I'd rather have robotic or real dog. as a pet, a robot dog, but for a seeing-eye dog, I would want a real dog. Good seeing-eye dogs are more likely to not fail because they are taught to lead their owner to their destination safely. I feel that the robot would not be as efficient as a real dog.

Developing Our Primary Scene Blog

One of the flash topics we will use is the health bar. We will use it in order to keep track of the soldiers health during the battle. The information in our game will open a new aspect of learning to kids that do not know very much about this time period of the SPAM War. Yes, by stating facts, one can memorize these facts about this time if they play this game a lot. If they do play this game a lot, they will see the facts more and have a better chance to understand them. It can be improved by putting in more facts, or by incorporating another way to view the facts such as making a power point available to the player for a better understanding.

Yet another blind subject....

Stargardt's disease is a hereditary form of macular degeneration that causes irreversible blindness. it is hereditary, so it depends on ones genetic make up. If I wanted to keep running, I would do what all runners would do. I would get a eye-seeing dog that would help me run again. I would trust the dog after a while. we would start by doing short distance walks, then on to the big ones. Or, We could go over the course before we competed, so that the dog would be familiar with the track.

DRAWINg A SCENe

A new idea that my partner and I will incorporate into our game will be to make the soldiers arms move as they walk on the trail while they shoot at enemies. We learned how to do this when we watched a video on how to make their body parts move as they cross the screen. The source was from the video we watched on friday with the man explaining how to do it on flash. Since these videos are coming from professionals, what they say, or do will make a difference on what we will do in our game.
