Imagining My Game

When I was thinking of my game idea I wasnt quite sure just yet , everything about my game. I decided to do a game dealing with global warming.

The thing that I am most excited about is learning the new code associated with creating my game.

My Favorite Game

My favorite game of all time isn't one that I would say had ground breaking graphics for it's time , but it wasnt that bad. My favorite game of all time os Zelda : Ocarina of Time. What made it special to me was , it's one of the very first games that I enjoyed actually playing through , figuring out the secrets. It's a very nostalgic game to me , it brings me back to waking up in the morning , running to the TV before my sister could get to it , flipping on the N64 , and playing OoT all day.





The atmoshpere kind of brought you to this fantasy world where you controlled your fate and the worlds fate. It made you feel pretty powerfull , well at least it did me when i was a little kid.




The controls remind me of what an earlier hack and slash game would be like. You had a very simple set of buttons to press to controll all of the functions that your character did.



Not only was the game fun for me , It challenged me with all the puzzles of how to get somewhere or how to defeat a boss. If you have played this game then you know what I mean.




I was used to games like Super Mario 64 when it came out , bouncing around like a hippie on steroids and then it was like a big slap in the face , you were now the Hero of Time. Who controlled the fate of the land of Hyrule!

First Flash Mini Game+

In this assignment I learned the basic coding for a flash game involving a bunny chasing after a carrot. Learning the codes isn't all to hard , but remembering to close the curly brackets was a problem for me. The best part was getting to try out the coding for myself , to get to see if it worked.

I play tons of games in my free time , most recently I have Been playing Left 4 Dead , for the Xbox 360. I pretty much play it all the free time that I have and Im waiting for the release of Left 4 Dead 2 in Nov.
