The final posting.

This class has been quite the expierence I must say. I thought I knew what 12th grade English was going to be all about, I dreaded the thought. Entering the first day of class I never would have expected to hear that our senior project was going to be to make a game. The game sounded exciting and fun, I didn't know how complicated it actually was going to be.

To me this class has kind of been like a rollercoster. I've had fun, I've been frustrated, I've felt accomplished. I feel lucky to have been the first class at Riverside High School to have taken this class, and I believe all classes from here on out, whether for English or just an elective should have the priveledge of taking it. This class really gives you a new way to look at things a way to bring out your creative and imagive side.

Although we didn't get a fully functional game, we got the idea across. When Chris and I first became partners, we knew nothing about eachother, i'm not even sure if we even had talked before. This was a great expierence to becuase I have a new friend. We went from knowing nothing about each other, to finding out what makes the other aggrevated, happy, mad, and we also know eachothers quirks. I'm really glad that we were partners, and now I know .. you don't always have to be with your friend. I believe we really suprised each other at the end. One of the head people even asked for our powerpoint! I really want to thank Chris though, he never let me give up, and I was tempted!

A couple things I have had fun with, and I'm proud of our my blog and my wiki. I went from knowing nothing about it to being a OFFICER. I was so proud everytime I moved up, I even remember one day Chez called me a newbie, and I was like " Hey I'm a dood!''. Thanks Chez for being a great teacher, I know it wouldn't have been quite the same without you!

Peer's games(=

I would first like to say that it was interesting to see other people's team pages, and see how far they have came apposed to Chris' and my team.

The first teams game that I played was Thing 1 & Thing 2, this is Ashley and Chad's team. I honestly was very suprised! They actually have a working game! My over all view was that I was amazed, and their game is very educational. I didn't think they really need to work on anything; even though there game is great I probably wouldn't take any ideas back besides that it is well made, becuase our games are so different. There game is fantastic and I envy that there ready to roll. (= goodjob

The second team I visited was The Pinky and The Brain, this is Amy and KT's team. My over all review was that there game has good potential but has a way to go. They have navigation well, and well made scenes but the mouse doesn't stay in the lines, and you can hit next before you even start. Once again becuase our games our so different I probably wont take anything back to mine. There isn't really any education in it, like questions and answers, but it is a course through highschool. They still have work but it is so far so good.(=
