Finishing up

During my time in this class I have learned about civics and game design. Civics wise I learned a lot about the Independent party and that the are underestimated in their votes and that there are a lot of registered Independents in the US, or at least more than I thought. What I've learned in this class was a lot of action script and drawing in flash. Oh, and blogging I love blogging and I may continue to use this in the future.

Back to Work

I am finally back at school after a three week vacation which was nice! I actually was only supposed to get off about two weeks, but because of snow we had another week off. So, now I'm trying to get back into the flow of things which is kind difficult because I feel so lazy! There is one bit of good news and that is that I finished my presentation a while back and thats what we are working on this week. So until next time if there is one because my class ends this Friday.

What I've learned

Civics wise I have learned a lot about the different views of the political parties like a lot of Moderate Republicans are for a lot of the same things as Democrats such as abortion. Lots of Moderates are pro-choice and think that it should be left up to the mother to decide which is quite different from the Conservatives. In the Conservative views is that abortion is a bad thing, which it is, but they tend to take it to the extreme. I've learned other thing but i can't really think of them off the top of my head, blame it on Mondays. So until next time peace out.

Coming Along

Our game is coming along fine so far. I had a little trouble with the button coding but I got it sorted out. I am now trying to work on our scoring system which is represented by a bar graph showing the votes you gain from certain political parties. It is giving me some trouble due to the fact that I don't fully understand how to get the bars to do what I want whenever you answer a question. But, I think I'll be able to figure it out soon.

Progresstion

So far my game has been going very well I had a little trouble with the buttons but I got it hammered out. The Player in my game will learn about the different issues that are discussed in a campaign and how they are answered and how that answer will effect the votes you get. So far i haven't learned much on civics I've mainly been putting together my game and adding lots of buttons.
