Sweet (EEROYLAY ENKINSJAY!!!!!)

Wassup! This is your boy, Josh, and I'm back with an awesome, pumpin' vibe! I have no idea where that came from, but I'm going to come right out and say why I did that. I'm going to be in Law Day 2010, armed with an awesome rap. Yeah, that about sums it up. Back to the subject. Today, I'm going to discuss the prompt that Ms. Barker gave us. A few weeks ago, we all presented our game presentations to people in Charleston and New York. I personally think it went rather well, even if the PowerPoint didn't load. Let's just say I didn't block my creative mind from putting animations and transitions. It didn't load after almost 20 min. That's bad. I made up the presentation on the spot for people in Charleston and New York. I need credit for that. Still, it went pretty good and they helped me point out some mistakes that I made in the game. They also gave me some tips to boost the game. So, instead of going from left to right, I'm going from right to left. I'm doing this so that it looks like you're going West. If you want to see the presentation, go here -------------------------------------------------------------------->http://www.myglife.org/usa/wv/srmswiki/index.php/Team:The_Dancing_Goombas_of_Doom!!!!!

Yeah, check it out. Well, talk to all of you later. See ya homie! (No Pig Latin this time... sorry.)

How well do you believe the average citizen understands US ideals?

I believe that the average citizen does not fully understand the US ideals. You really need to dig up history to fully understand the ideals of the US. When I say 'dig up', I mean that you need to research the history of America and how it came to be the way it is today. It is important that you know this stuff because if you don't know, you won't understand hardly anything about this country. Let's use Lewis and Clark as an example. They helped to spread many new things across the US, including the laws. They discovered many places and helped to shape the ground on which we stand. I think it's important to understand how crucial their journey really was. If you want to know more about them, go here ----------------------------------------------------------> http://www.lib.fit.edu/pubs/librarydisplays/lewis%20and%20clark%20display%20website.htm

Either way, it's important to know about such things because it's these certain events that shaped our country into the way it is today. So, in conclusion, I say that knowing the US's ideals is very important. Thanks for reading and I'll see you next time! (Pig Latin: Ritneybay andyay Iay areyay ackbay ogethertay againyay!)

Ideals

Wazzup! I'm Josh, A.K.A. "Beatbox", and my team's name is "The Dancing Goombas of Doom!!!!!". We are making a game about Lewis and Clark's journey across the West. It is kind of like a Mario-style platform game but it has the Lewis and Clark twist to it. I think it's a good idea and that it could go a long way if we try hard enough. Hopefully we can make it to the finals. Here is our team page. http://www.myglife.org/usa/wv/srmswiki/index.php/Team:The_Dancing_Goombas_of_Doom!!!!!

Check it out man, it's cool. Ok, see ya!

Plagiarism (Ouyay ucksay!)

Ellohay all you noobs! I'm feeling good today so don't ruin the moment. Today, I'm going to talk about Plagiarism, also known as Copyright. Copryright is when you use something without permission or you don't make a citation for it. It is wrong to do plagiarism and you should try not to if possiple, which is completely possible. DO NOT PLAGIARIZE! Plagiarism is accounted for writings, music, pictures, anything that somebody made and owns. To understand plagiarism, you need to know about public domain too. Public domain is anything on the Web that's not copyrighted and can be used without permission. If you want to use something, it depends on how much of it you use. You can only use up to 3 minutes of media, 1000 words in a text document, and for music lyrics and so forth, you can only use 10% of it. If you want to know more about it, you can go here. http://www.cyberbee.com/cb_copyright.swf I hope I taught you a little about copyright, and so, I bid you a good day. See ya!

My Globaloria 'New Years Resolution'

My new years resolution for this class is to become a Wiki Master. That would be awesome to be the Elite Wiki-Man on MyGLife.org. That means that I'm going to have to upload a lot of files and edit like a movie director. Heck yeah! Um... yeah, that's all. Bye! Oinday ouryay ommay, oinday oinday ouryay ommay!

P.S. We are close to finishing the demo, we just need some time to get the codes to work.

My Research

I did some research on Lewis and Clark and learned a lot about them.

Meriwether Lewis:

Born August 18, 1774, Meriwether Lewis was only 29 years old when he was asked by President Thomas Jefferson to head the expedition. Lewis accepted and, in turn, asked his army friend, William Clark, to act as the expedition's captain.

William Clark:

Born August 1, 1770, Clark was the youngest of six sons and the youngest brother of George Rogers Clark, the hero of the American Revolution in the West. He was 33 years old when asked by Meriwether Lewis to help head the expedition.

Through a website, which I will put in a link right here, I learned enough information about them that I can shape the game based on the information. I learned about how the journey started, how the journey went, what they did, how, how they met Sacajawea, and how it ended. I hope I can learn more soon. Oodbyegay!

What I've done so far blog (Iay amay adsay aboutay hetay Pellingsay Eebay ecausebay Iay ostlay. Iay suallyuay inway.)

So far I've gotten to the title screen and finished the loading screen. I'm working on adding sound to the title screen so it looks cooler. When it comes down to it, I've just started on the process of creating the game into it's true form. My units have been going well. I've made quite a number of buttons and animations. Right now I'm on the Adding Sound unit and I can't figure out what sound to put on the title screen. It's hard to find the right sound for people like me. I hope we can win the competition at the end of the year because I'm really getting down to business on our game. Well, good luck to everybody! (Boil'em Mash'em Stick'em in a stew. POTATOES!)
