Add Hidden Objects

What was it like to add Actionscript to your objects? What kind of game action would you like to add next?

Well, I haven't really added any coding... This is because I'm still going to have changes in the background since it's really simple, as of right now. Well, I could technically use this background, but like I said, I like to be creative when for when it comes to drawing. Yeah, it's a good plan, but it's simple. That is the reason of why I haven't put any Actionscript. I will tell you though, that when I completely finish my background, the hidden objects will be buttons. I like working with buttons since they are easy to work with. Really, the objects will be the correct answer, so that's why I decided to make them into buttons instead of just using them as movie clips and just finding them. For the next time I work on this, I will finish my background quickly because in the end, the coding is what takes longer. I will do this type of coding for all hidden objects. As you can see, I'm still in the process of finishing my background and the start of coding my objects.

Draw Background 11-08-2013

What was it like to draw your background in Flash?
Well, it felt like old times...I mean, that is the thing that I like doing in Globaloria: to draw in Flash. Although I am not finished at all with all of my objects in my scene, they will be soon. What I did today was to draw my background. By that I mean that I just did the basic things: the sky, the sun, trees, the road, and the car. Your idea is correct! The road and the car are there because I will do a Safe Driving game. Like I said, I haven't finished with all of my objects because for that, I need more time and that is something that I lack all the time. So, if there is one thing that I shall improve is: time and get a really fast jump start with all of my work, especially when I plan to do and educational game. That's all I did for the day, which I need to do more...

Make a Paper Prototype

What problems did it help you to solve with your game idea?
 I didn't have a clear idea of what my game will look like, but I know why... Usually, I like to keep my ideas in my mind, so that way I can then put them into Flash. It's really hard for me to put my ideas into a paper, especially when I'm doing a new topic. Anyways, the thing is that I begin drawing and working in Flash, even if my paper prototype is not completed. I don't think that it helps me any way, since it's just an idea. Plus, I end up changing the whole idea from the paper prototype, into a new one. Yeah, right now it's really complicated because this is a new topic that I am working with and I am not sure of what I am about to do. Like I said, with other topics, such as Healthy Living, it's easy to me because I can relate to the topic. With Safe Driving, though, I have a bunch of ideas, but it gets complicated when you decide of what IS that you are FINALLY going to work with.
Back to the question, I still need to solve some decision problems, but will assure you that I will come up with a great idea that will show the player on Safe Driving.
