Case04

Case04
Use the animations from Case 02 and improve them,make it more natural, by using Actionscript 3.0.
Use right and left keys to control/move the character.

Case03

During the lab Thursday I manage to move my character from left to right. I had help from Adrian and students sitting next to me.
It got a littlebit clearer-able to but more expressions together and their purpus.
I will try to define it better later(variables,events,tests..)

I still have a long way to go when it comes to programming. But I want to learn and I have to think about, and work with one case at the time.
I study Learning Actionscript 3.0 and find that helpfull. But it`s not all basic so I really need to concentrate and follow the labs in school.

When it comes to my character I think I have to do some changes. Both how I buildt the DreamingBoy and the animations. I don`t think my Sprite (collection of all my animations) will hold-got some surprises Thursday-the animation I flipt was empty??!!...
I`m not sure I`ll manage to get a naturalistic animation the way my character is buildt now.
Which takes us to the next case!!!

Case03

Case03-learning Actionscript 3.0
Move the character by using Actionscript and to keep the character in the screen.

I have a Sprite with all my animations and in this case we`re going to use basic programming to make the animations move.
I have five animations so far; walk left, walk right, jump, resting position and collecting points.
To get the information I need for this case I have to read!
On Thursday there will be  a basic programming lecture and lab-I might understand a littlebit more then.
Right now I`m open to all information about Actionscript:) I really don`t know anything.
I have to try to learn and maybe understand:) some basic expressions befor Thursday (eksample Variables,Events..)


  

Case02

Note;  want to have a time limit for collecting dreampoints, at the same time you have to avvoid the shadow..
He will make a turn when you collect a point.

Case02

Case02-Animating our character.
Got to know and learned different tools and techn. so we managed to animate our character for the platform game.

This week has been challenging and fun.
I almost gave up before I had started! I had not spent enough time reading/studying before the lab Thursday. I got some help but I didn`t feel it was enough, and there was no time understanding it all so I and Sarah, from my group, studied after the lab.
Succes! Finelly I managed to finish several of my animations:)
I chose classic tween for my character. It gives my character the expression I`m looking for.(I might try to make the bonetool work, just for fun).
I got great help from Sarah and the tutorials in this Case.
(I might change some of the animations later...I`ll wait and see how it  works out-maybe the face when he walks-but it will do for now:)
The next case will be more challenging then this case. I really need to find the time studying earlier next week:) But I really enjoy struggeling a littlebit too....when it works out. Fun learning something new. I just have to find my own way.
Have to get my hands on the book How to cheet in Flash..(has not been easy)That will be really helpfull-seen some of the chapters.
I have gathered my animations in a sprite. so now my DreamingBoy is walking to the left and to the right(flipt from left to right), has a resting position, jumps and makes a turn when he collects points:)

Case01

My Character DreamingBoy

New thoughts and ideas to my platformgame:
-collect DreamPoints to stay in the dream
-avvoid the Shadow or you will wake up or find your self in a nightmare..
 (maybe both oouuuaaa...)

Case01

Case 01

My Character ( DreamingBoy ) is designed.
Struggled with the Pentool today:P hahaha...we`ll see how it goes tomorrow.

The story will take place in the Boy`s dream.
The purpes of the game is to make sure it will be a good dream.
If you don`t succeed, he wakes up from a bad dream.

When it comes to how to win the game I`m thinking about collecting things, or the caracter has to do something rather then chasing singel points.

Background/Stage: I want to use bright colours and patterns,textures and geometric shapes etc..
Create a Fantasy World.
Want to use a naive design..sort of:)

(tried to post a picture of DreamingBoy..didn`t succeed..more to come)

Case 01

Finally!
I think I understand Flash better after todays lab(Animajon og Interaktivitet I).
I`m so happy:)
The FlashGhost is getting smaler.
The sweet girls(two 2.year students) responsible for the lab today, was patient and helpful:)
Now I understand the meaning of using Layers and Ankerpoints. Learned how to use the Pentool.
I`ve also made up my mind and I have an idea for my game. I haven`t quite yet desided the design of my caracter..... Lot of pictures in my head. It will be a long and exciting day tomorrow(..Weekend).
Positive is the word describing my emotions right now.

Metode05 met today also.
Filled in the formes in Prosjektplan and we`re signing the Contract(for the group)on Monday.
I really hope we get it approved, so we don`t fall back.

New Post tomorrow when I have more to show you*

Metode05:)
Group adm. is Adrian-2.year student(the end of the table,face towards us)

Case 01

HI!

..testing..

Blog is new to me, we`ll see how is works out:)

First day as GRUPPE5 yesterday. Got our first case in Animasjon og Interaktivitet I- I have to get inspiration to a game idea&caracters...

PLAY GAMES it said, so I will try that :)

............I also have to learn Flash,the program we`re going to juse.

I have little experiense with comp&different progr(in this case Flash)so this project will be challenging for me.

That means one thing- I will learn something new(everyday..) during this prosess:)

Joined Erland and Steffen and created our(Metode5) Wikisite...It was a humble conribution;) but I wanted to learn. At least I got to know the guys a little bit better.
