Spring Break

On Spring Break I will be going to Pittsburgh, PA to see the Penguins take on the Washington Capitals in the second to last regular season game ever held at Mellon arena. After I get back from there I am planning on catching up on some sleep and playing some video games. The two video games I most want to play are Battle Field Bad Company 2 and NHL 10. I can't think of anything else I will do.

Favorite athlete

My personal all time favorite athlete is probably Sydney Crosby. Sydney Crosby plays hockey for the Pittsburgh Penguins. He is a center on their first line and he is the captain of their team. He is one of the best active hockey players right now. He and Alexander Ovechkin are easily the two best. Also Sidney Crosby led the Canadians to the gold medal in the winter olympics, I would have rather had USA win but at least it was Sid that scored the game winner

hopes and goals

This next quarter of school me and the rest of team OilyBaconFat hope to complete our game (obviously). More specifically, we hope to make at least five more levels to our game Going Green and also fix any glitches that we may have. The only glitch that is currently known is that on the edges of platforms you can stand in the air and also if you are under the edge of a platform and jump you will be stopped.

Others game

One other game that I like alot is called Escape from Darfur. It is being created by the flash pioneers, whos team name happens to be Wafflehouse. So far the game has been very well created. It is not actually playable but that is possibly because they have been spending so much time perfecting everything else. I believe that it will be a very good game by the time it is finished.

Fav. and Least Fav. part of this class

My favorite part of this class is that we get to be creative and create our own games that we think of ourselves. My least favorite part of this class is quite simply actionscript. How am I supposed to create a game if I don't know anything about actionscrip, that is why there needs to be an actionscript class before game design. How can anyone be expected to know how to create their game without proper knowledge of actionscript?

Progress

In drafting I have learned a lot of stuff. We had to make a siege weapon, I made a trebuchet. I thought that I did a pretty good job with it and made it pretty accurate and to scale. Now we are all making cars. I am making the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard, which is a 1969 Dodge Charger. So far it has been a challenge. Right now I have the body pretty well completed and am working on tires

game progress

Our game is going really good. We have actually made a lot of progress recently. We finally got the enemies to work and now the rest of the game making should be pretty much straightforward. All we will have to do to create more levels is make more arrays in which we will put 1's for blocks, 5's for enemies, 6's for the invisible blocks that the enemies stop on, and finally 7's for the carbon atoms.

Internet

I think that the internet has made society both smarter and lazier. Smarter for the fact that we have a worlds worth of knowledge at our fingertips with google. Anything we want to know we can simply type it in and tons of pages will come up. Also it has made us lazier because of that same fact. We don't have to go to libraries and search through books. Also people shop online instead of actually going to stores

Movie

A movie that would describe my life is probably office space. Unfortunately I'm not stealing thousands of dollars like he did and I don't actually work in an office, but I do work on computers, I'm a pretty big computer geek and I don't like my job. Also I've never been put into a trance that I never came out of (or any for that matter) by a hypnotist. I wish my life was more like 007.

future children & SVHS?

If I was to have children in the future I would probably not send them to spring valley. Mainly because I would probably not be living here any more. However, that is not the only reason. Spring Valley is not all that good of a school compared to the many others out there that they could go to. I would send them to a school that made heavy use of technology, and does not use text books.
