Research on Soda

Here are some interesting things that I have found on what soda can do to your body if you drink it:

1) Soda can destroy your teeth or cause decay

2) After a can of soda, your body is infuesed with well over the recommended surger for an entire day

3) Soda reducses the effectiveness of antibiotics in children making their bodys more likely to get diseases

I plan on putting these 3 facts in my game for children to see when they play it.

Ball Guide

This is what I learned to do in class today. I made a guide line that becomes invisible when a movie plays to guide the ball into a dip then back up.

My game idea so far...

Theme: Health
Genre: Action
Taken From: Old Donkey Kong and Mario Game

Title: H2O Heros
Bad Guys: Super Cola Company
Good Guys: Water Pure Company

Description: The CEO of Super Cola is at the top of a map on a ledge next to a soda machine, the CEO of Water Pure must rise to the top by climbing a series of floors that are slanted while the Super Cola CEO is rolling soda cans down the floors. When the Water Pure CEO reaches the top, he jumps on a button and drops the Super Cola CEO into a pit of water. After that the soda machine turns into a water fountain, then facts about why water is better for you than soda will appear.

Poverty -- I know a lot of people who have been laid off becuase of the economy, thus to the point where people are starting to move out of the area to find jobs.

Health -- Everyone now a days is trying to find a job that pays good, and has good health care benefits.

Environment -- Many jobs are starting to polute the air more and more, this has to stop.

Education -- Education is very important if you want to find a new or better job that what you currently have.

Civic Participation -- Very few people have the time now for civic participation.

What are the most important facts people should know about your topic? - Health

What actions should people do in order to help with this topic? - Watch what they drink

What is a positive outcome that could happen if people learned more about this issue? - Healither people

Genre: Action - Because people now a day like action video games instead of something boreing that they just sit there and click, they want some ammount of challange invovled.

Sources of games that I wish to use: Donkey Kong and Marrio, made by Nintendo

Coke

Here is a 100% hand drawing immage I did of an old Coca-Cola Bottle, it isn't very good, but it is my first drawing afterall!

Apple Logo

Here is a picture of the immage that I have done in class of the Apple Logo. I trayced the Apple Logo off the internet in Flash, then played around with the lines until it became close to what the actual logo looks like.

Idea

I have been thinking on a idea to use for a short video game, I have came up with the following:

1) I would like it to be like Mario for the old Nintendo
2) I would like for players to pick between "Coke Company" or "Health Association"
3) Health players will use a hammer to bash evil coke machines and collect money
4) Coke players will use a pack with a hose attached to it to squirt health NPCs to death and make it to the school building

What I Expect to Learn

What I expect to learn from the class is how to make and improve animations for online video games. I would also like to learn how to make designs using photoshop so I could create computer backgrounds and custom avatars for Skype and MSN messenger.
