My last post was not meant in any way to be disrespectful. This blog is supposed to be about this class, what we're working on in this class, and how we feel about this class. That is exactly what my last post was for. So, thank you for all the support from the rest of the class. I hope our message was heard. Thank you:)

Just Thought I'd Mention

Not to be um mean or anything, but I honestly thought this was supposed to be a photoshop type class. My personal opinion is that this flash game thing should'e been done in a normal computer education class or something to that effect, not for a class that is supposed to be something totally different. I mean , this stuff is ok, but it's deffinately not what I signed up to so. And im really diaspointed that we've done practically nothing in photoshop. I wanted to take this class becasue I have photoshop at home, but have no idea how to use it. All in all, this is really frustrating and kind of a big let down. And I'm definately not the only one in here who feels this way...copy and paste this to your blog if you agree.

What function concept is the hardest to teach in your game, and why do you think it's difficult to understand? How does your game effectively teach th

I think the most difficult concept of our game to teach is that no one of the three branches has more power than the other. I've found that a lot of people like to argue that one is more important, or does more than another branch. That's simply not true. Each branch of government has specific, and equally important, job to be done. The check and balance system also keeps a certain branch or branches from overpowering another one. I alos feel that people dont take enough interest in our government, and therefore, don't really want to learn about it sometimes.

I believe our game will teach this effectively by having a large and various amount of questions. These questions will point out the many differences between the three government branches.

progress

Ok so today I am filling out the rest of our game page, again. I did it yesterday, but for whatever reason, it did not save. So thats an hour's worth of work down the drain, but anyway... It's moving along pretty well.

Paper Prototype Troubles

We've finished the paper prototype and made the video. However, we've done everything we can, but the video won't upload to our wiki. Any suggestions? This is quite frustrating.

I did the flash text video thing today. It wasn't as difficult as I thought it was going to be, so I'll be leaving this class in a good mood today for sure! :)

I'm still here.

I haven't posted a blog in a really REALLY long time. Wont't be in school tomorrow due to a trip to Washington D.C with the culture club for the weekend. Game project is comming along okay, but still needs work.
