Adding Sounds and finishing up
I kept forgetting I needed to do this blog assignment! We were supposed to write about how we planned to use sound to heighten the game experience. My only problem is, I can't figure out how to make sound work. I'm not really sure what sounds to add to it, but I guess a little "ding" for a correct item and a failure noise at something that is not would be kinda funny. I also can't figure out how to make the scoring coding work, and Mr. Allder is not here to help me.. Anyway, the sound will help signify the player if they're going astray or on the right path.

Reflection
In Globaloria, I think the skill I enjoy the most is doing the artwork for the game. Initially, since I didn't have an idea for what to make the game about back when we started, I was more excited about getting to draw and doodle in flash, a program I'd never before used. I think maybe if we had been partnered up, I would've been the artist for the game, because it seems to be my strongest point so far.
I'm not quite sure how exactly drawing in flash would help anyone in the class or community. Possibly, I could help draw something that is a bit difficult to nail down in this program, maybe give a few tips? I'm a newbie at Flash myself, so I don't know all the corners, and it often frutstrates me because the layers, coloring, inks, etc are all very different from programs like MS Paint or GIMP. But if it could help anyone, I'd try.
I also think I'm pretty decent in coding. While it is difficult and tedious at times, once you have the basic jist of how to make an object do something in particular, you only have to keep that code in mind. Again, since I only get to use it in Globaloria and I've not had previous experience, it gets confusing for me too, but I love the trial and error and the feeling of success when I figure out the correct coding.
