Favorite athlete of all time

My favorite athlete of all time is without a doubt Bruce Lee. He is the greatest fighter to ever live. He was more tone than body builders and was more swift and accurate than a black mamba. No matter what sport you play or if you are just looking for guidance, Bruce Lee offers answers. He is one of the most remarkable human beings to ever grace the earth. On another note my favorite basketball player of all time would be Julius Erving. He changed the game with his fast paced style of play. He flew through the air like a an eagle soaring. I have watched many videos where he has made the once thought impossible possible. I have never asked for a basketball jersey of any player except Dr. J and I will probably never own another.

we need flash lessons

Our game is finished with the exception of coding. It is difficult to code when you haven't the slightest idea of what you are supposed to be doing. I am very frustrated with the fact that there is not an action script class prior to game design. Everything would flow so much smoother if I already had somewhat of an idea of how to code a game. All I can do is continue to struggle through the coding and continue to ask questions.

wiki pages

Team DYNAMIC DODO has a newly remodeled, rocking wiki page. I am thoroughly impressed with the changes/ edits they have made. They have added numerous pictures to make their page more entertaining. It went from mediocre to totally rocking and they should be proud of their progress. I think they have been making some improvements on their game as well so we can all look forward to an entertaining game from team DYNAMIC DODO.

other games

Although they are our rivals, Oily Bacon Fat deserves some props. They have some pro coding in their game and I am thoroughly impressed. The best game in the class in my opinion would definitely have to be Taylor and Kelsey's game. It is absolutely incredible, they have created an addictinggames quality game. All they need is coding and they have a darn good game to present.

WE NEED ACTION SCRIPT TRAINING !!!!!!!!!!!

I love game design, I really do, but there is not near enough taught about using action script to get the most out of it. No one is capable of making a good game because no one knows how to code their games properly. There are some really great games that have been thought up and created but they will never become actual games but mere picture slide shows because no one knows how to code anything. Mr. Reed is very good at helping people learn here and there but people's games are at different areas of completion and he is being forced to teach the same thing over and over again. The most efficient and logical way to solve this problem would be to simply break game design into a two part class. The first required class would be an action script training course were you would be taught how to use it. Then game design would be the second part of class where you actually get to take the skills you learned in action script and apply them to making a GOOD game.

Cad progress

My car in techniques should be pretty awesome upon completion. The wheels look absolutely amazing but the car is not up to par yet. Although it still needs work, it shows great potential and will probably be the best car in the class. Justin G. couldn't even make a car better than me. I just told a lie and am going to have to ask for forgiveness from Justin. The windows of my car need a lot of work and the windshield needs to be fixed.

Game Progress

The game is coming along quite nicely. It is leaps and bounds ahead of the first prototype I created. I have finished designing all the levels and characters but I have yet to complete the coding due to its higher level of difficulty. I hope to be able to fit in all the parts of my game I had planned for but the coding seems to be very difficult for some of the original ideas. I will work on it though and hopefully everything comes out nicely.

The Internet

Living in a high tech world requires me to use a computer on a daily whether its for school or for recreation. Honestly there are times where I skip out on being productive to play a computer game, but at the same time I use computers for a solid 45-50% of schoolwork. I personally believe the internet is a wonderful invention that has help evolve society, however it has a lot of negative side effects. Some of the information and videos available on the internet have had negative impacts on the world but at the same time education has made leaps towards combating ignorance. Unfortunately the internet is also responsible for multiple cites that have made up or misleading information. Anyone can go out and create their own website and fill it with crazy off the wall stuff and there are plenty of naive people out there that will believe it. The internet is a tool that can be used for good or evil, it can be used to better yourself or waste your life away. How you choose to use it reflects what kind of impact it is having.

screen play to my life

If I had to pick a movie to describe my life it would have to be Good Will Hunting. I like to think of myself as living the life Matt Damon's character lived. I work as a janitor at the local university solving insanely hard math equations in my spare time. I have a genius IQ and a photographic memory. My best friend is Ben Affleck and I like getting in fights just for fun.

SVHS

In the future when I have children of my own it will depend on where I live whether I send them to SVHS or not. If I still live around here I will probably send them to SVHS. It really is not a big deal so I don't know what else I can say really. As a matter of fact I have just decided my wife will home school our child and make dinner all while cleaning the house. I am just kidding about that. My child will attend SVHS if I still live around here.
