Unit 2 Hidden Object Game: Add Game Ingredients

Q: What problem did you overcame while working on the code for one of your game ingredients?
A: To start, I had a ton of coding problems, but I was able to fix most of them. Some of the problems I couldn't figure out so I submitted them to the Help Desk. One of the problems I had was the custom mouse, it wouldn't show up on the win/lose screen. Another problem I had was getting the score and messages to work, but the teacher helped me so I didn't use the Hep Desk.

Essential Question #10

Q:  What are we using the Flash program to create? Tell me at least 5 terms and explain them that you learned as we did practice with Flash.

A:  We are using Flash to create short, animated movies.  The white rectangle in the middle of the screen is called the 'Stage'.  The gray part around the stage is called the 'clipboard'.  The 'Stage' is where you do all your drawing to make the movie and the 'Clipboard' is what you use to draw stuff that will be moving on to the Stage and also for storage.  And then you have all the 'Tweens'.  The Tweens being 'Classic Tween' 'Shape Tween' and 'Motion Tween'.  Tweens are very useful, they all allow you to have movement in you movie.  Now there is the 'Keyframe'.  They also help with movement in your movie.  How? By inserting a Keyframe then drawing in the Keyframe after you have drawn in the earlier frames.  But now I'm going to talk about layers. Layers are very important, they allow you to make one thing movie but not another.  Theses layers in Flash are just like the layers in Photoshop and illustrator.

Essential Question #9

Q:How did your company presentation go? What was the best part? What was the weakest part? What is the main thing you learned during this presentation?

A: I feel like our company presentation went pretty good. There were some ruff spots toward the end and the start. I would say the best part, the part I liked best would be when we walked out of the room and we were finished. The weakest part of our presentation would be the opening. The main thing I learned would be how to use the computer programs like Photoshop, Illustrator, and all the other ones.

Essential Question #3

Q: Explain at least two differences between Photoshop and Illustrator.  Which one do you like better and why?
A: Photoshop is mainly used for editing pictures, and Illustrator is more for creating designs and cool art work.  I would say I like Photoshop better then Illustrator because I find Photoshop more fun, like doing the Switch Face project, the Trace Face project, and designing the name.  I know you can do some of the stuff in Illustrator but I like Photoshop better.
