One class to go

One more day of class to go. Seemed to have lost some down loads that I done at home. They should be in my wiki account but they are not. It does not even show that I was on the site on a couple Sundays in November.

Learning additional functions

Studied adding sound and additional keys. Choose the sounds that I want to add to my game.

Running out of time

Still missing a lot of game commands and functions. Feel like I need a lot more help then is available by coming to class. Hard to learn when no one is teaching or giving suggestions.

Studying game commands

Trying to figure out which codes I need to make game function properly and follow closely to the original plan or idea of my game. Just not having that major break thru that I need to have to finish game.

Learning to set up weapons fire

Watched a tutorial on programing to fire weapons in a video game. Should be able to copy and paste a lot of the game functions in the codes. Will have to edit a lot of the lines to work with my game. On the right track I believe.

New semester

With the new semester comes the challenge of finish making our Wiki game. Seems to be getting off to  slow start, had to enter some new passwords that I forgot to write down from the beginning of summer. Looks to be a long road ahead to finish game.

Plans and Changes

Need to be able to add scenes with the history tidbits to help give info to learn. The action in the fighting scenes needs to expanded and more action added. When the score reaches certain levels the tidbits appear.

Game demo

Details, details, details, with the proper order of commands and test the game will not function properly. But once it is corrected it gives one a feeling of relief. I seem to need a lot of help to get my ball rolling, but I appreciate the help a lot! I do not have any action in my demo yet.

Game topic blog

That the battles between the Muslims and the Christians have been going on since the Medieval Times in history. I learned this by researching on the internet for sources listed under Wikipedia. History books from the history professors were helpful and trustworthy.

Video game

Zeitgeist is simple to play yet it achieve success as you advance by defeating the enemy. The controls are similar to the ones I want to use.

My game topic

My name is Dail and I am fairly new to the computer world because I worked in the manufacturing industry for the last twenty years. My topic will be the Crusades of the Middle Ages and I would like to create a action / adventure game. I chose this topic because of my studies into the medieval time history.

Internet Security

I believe that with my space and face book that there is not much security of personal information, but if you do not want people to know it then you should not post it. The security of the internet seems to be fairly secure if one pays attention to the sites that they give out personal information on. Most security systems tell you if the site is secure or not. But if a thief wants to get information they usually can with knowledge of the secure websites.

dails day one

Day one of class is setting up our accounts with gmail and blogger.com. This is very tedious and trying to do for the first time.
