Most Important Part of Flash

In my opinion, the most important part of Flash is the Tools. The tools are essential to Flash. You use the tools to select stuff, draw things, and just about whatever other tool you can think of. Without the tools, your project would be blank!

Class Flash Game

This game has given Mrs.Chenoweth a hard time, and it has give me a big headache. Everyday it seems the code gets worse, but I know in the end Mrs. Chenoweth will prevail. I think we should bypass this project and move on to the group work.

The Lewis and Clark Adventure Game

http://www.usmint.gov/kids/games/lewisClarkAdventure/ Lewis and Clark Adventure
That is the civics I found. This game is about the Lewis and Clark adventure. (no pun intended). In the game you will explore along the trail of Lewis and Clark to the Pacific Ocean and back. You are faced with activities along the way. Overall, it's a pretty fun game.

My Reviews:

  1. American Symbols is a fun matching game. It tests your American History knowledge.
  2. The Bill of Rights Matching game was a challenge, but it is a good educational game.
  3. Geography America puts your U.S. memorization to the test!
  4. Redistricting, I couldn't figure out how to win.
  5. Branches of Government is a basic game, but quizzes you on your branches of government. ( pun intended.)
  6. There Should Be a Law teaches you how a law becomes a law in Texas. It puts you through an interactive process.
  7. Pick 12 I didn't like it that much. All you had to do is pick people.
  8. Play the News is a hard game, if you don't know your history.
  9. Bump the Birds is a fun game, you patrol through a maze with some stops that quiz you with questions abut elections.

--Game Genre--

The genre of the game I would like to create would have to be Racing , but since we have to make a Civic Participation game, I guess I'll do that. I think I will re-create the 2008 Presidential Election, but with some added twists.

The Hardest Part to Blogging, in my opinion

The hardest experience I've had with blogging so far was resizing the header image. It was so hard! I couldn't get it right, but after some help from Jacob I got it situated.
