My Nonprofit , Peace Park

http://www.peasepark.org/

   Peace park is my nonprofit , because I felt like I found out allot more information than the other non profit's and I wanted the topic environment , and this is the nonprofit that i felt taught me more about the environment and , I also love what they did , for there park . I think that them name peace park was perfect because there neighborhood park was being shut down and they , protested and renewed there park and now it just looks peaceful , and a awesome place for kids and for the family. ''I hear they have a great picnic area.'' 

    This nonprofit , is going to make a great game , for people to lean to not only recycle or take care of you're world , but you can make a big change if you take place in small things like this one. Take the park for example not only did they help some part of the earth , but they also made people happy. People now have a place where they can go and have fun ,Get fresh air.A place where there is now peace.They accomplished so many things for there park.

     They planted about 500 trees , and all like 20 different species .They also planted 10 large oak trees. They made so many accomplishes , how you may ask ''?'' They raised money from the neighborhood , so There are so many things that we can do to help , all we have to do is look around. If there neighborhood did why, wouldn't you ? . simple if you can just get everyone together.

  '' ... And if you try you can also have a peace park !.''

    Fact 1:The history of Chula League begins in 2002 with the first-ever Cherrywood Art Fair, created by Kathleen McTee and Priscilla Boston.  A dozen artists displayed their work at [location], and a great idea took root.  The second Cherrywood Art Fair took place in 2003, and the venue moved to Maplewood Elementary school, at the intersection of 38 1/2 and Maplewood Avenue.  The relationship between the Cherrywood Art Fair and Maplewood has continued successfully ever since.
    Fact 2:In 2005 it was clear the Art Fair was becoming an “institution” in East Austin,  growing in size and scope,and generating a small “nest egg” of  proceeds that could be used for the benefit of the community.  Attorney Maddie Kadas suggested a non-profit status would be appropriate, and CPA Jane Walton, with the help of organizers Priscilla Boston and Kathy McTee steered the fledgling organization through the application process. In November, 2005, the Cherrywood Urban Landscape and Arts League, better known as Chula League, was created.
    Fact 3:The Cherrywood Art Fair grew in popularity until in 2007 the Austin American Statesman declared it the “must-see holiday event” in Austin. In 2009 with over 80 artists and 6,000 visitors, Cherrywood Art Fair continued as a bona-fide east Austin happening! Hundreds of volunteers work to produce the music, food, art, kids activities, and warm community feeling for which Cherrywood Art Fair is known.

Mini Game

There were some difficulties , but I overcame them. I'm really excited to find out what kind of game I will  be doing next.The difficulties of making this game were , getting the codes all right. and getting everything right they way I wanted it to be .Every year , I make my topic about pollution I also think that this is the first game i've made , that's not about pollution. I want to also make my big game creative  this year something that's not so into pollution because you know , i do that topic every year. S this year i plan to make my game interesting but fun.

playing to learn part2

there was differint types of theams , like action and puzzuls or mazes. They were all very differient but the same, because they all had a lesson to teah , or something to say. That's what i want my game to do i want , it to give poeople who play it a message , a positive something to say .'' playing game's to some people is something really esay something you just play and have fun with , but what people might not know is that there are many game's that can help you learn something . maybe learn something you never knew about before. exsactly like the title say's ''playing to learn'' , is exsactly what you are doing when we go out and play thease game's. That's what makes globaloria a class i think because if it were just free time to play games all day i think it would be a extra class you could chose to take , but its actualy educational and since i've been here  i've learns a whole lot of things that i never knew before.

Presenting my game

when I presented it was okay because , well also really easy because I just got up there and said my name , the name of my game and well said all the game ing. I added to it and I think , I hope I got a good grade.

present hidden object game

The big idea for my game is , well that you have to take care of the earth , by doing one little thing picking up trash from the forest ,and also saving the animals in the forest that are being affected. I was very interested in this subject , because every year when we did games for natural disasters i did mine on global warming and pollution is a part of what causes global warming so I like to do a'lot of things that involve saving our planet .I did a'lot of research on this topic ,and I found out that there are a'lot of fun facts about this topic and just plain facts that were very helpful and useful . I had this big idea that started to change little by little . My idea was to have a'lot of trash around a big river.So when I tarted on my prototype , I started to draw a rain forest and it came out awesome so i thought why not do something that I'm good at drawing ,and well there is also pollution in the rain forest so it fit's perfect.When I started to draw my trash ,and nasty stuff that's polluting the rain forest . I also started to also draw animals like : fish , flamingo , fly . . . 

I thought that was perfect also , because there are animals in the rain forest , on's and ton's of them and they are the one's that are being affected , so why not rescue them from all of that pollution.

OBAMANOSS !

As you should know , our dear friend , president of the U.S . Obama won the elections last night . I'am so excited to see all that he can do and overcome. Our new beginning , our new start of four more years.

#OBAMANOOOS (:

Adding Game Ingredients

This was hard , for me . There were ton's of challenge's and obstacle's to overcome . I also try'ed my best , and I overcame all of the obstacle's that were in the way  . It was hard but I did it , it was had work watching tutorials and , helping other's . Doing code's over and over again until , I got all of them right . The best part of the whole process was getting everything right .

Add Hidden Objects

So  what I did was trace my hidden objects , and well it did take some time , because well you could say I had some complicated objects to draw in flash , witch again I hate drawing in flash because the mouse moves every ware . And most of all I hate when I use the mouse on the lab top , because I think well my opinion it makes it worse ,even more messy. But o well ,I guess my drawing's came out ''okay'' ? no so shure though , because well I don't know how to make the original back round clear , or invisable . Well I guess i'll just stay positive , and carry on to what ever come's next ! blaaa.. wish me luck ? Naw actually i'am excited to find out what we will be doing next eeeeep !

Backround in flash (:

Drawing a backround in flash , yes it's really hard because well I like getting thing's to look really nice , and to my opinion when you draw in flash , to me it looks messy.I would like it better if it had a tool that you could use to , fix what you draw in flash , like to make the lines look straight and your'e drawing's look clear and not all curvy and everyware ! . O my goodniss this it what I hate about making the game , I really like to draw alo't but when it comes to drawing in flash i'm the worst ! . I would really like it if that could happen.Apart from that I like flash i like it alo't not because of the way I draw in it , but because you get to animate , alo't of thing's in flash. I really like doing that in flash and watching it all come to life. So yes it , to me is very confusing and messy but o well .. moving on to my hidden object's ! wish me luck ' !

Making A Prototype

It was easy ! ''SYYYYKKKKEEEE'' there were alo't of complicated thing's to go through , google is not smart , yess .. it's offical it dosent know what a park is , or what a river is . it caint giv eyou simple answers. ''GARRRWWWSSHHH ! '' why dose it have to mak ethe world even more complicated , just umm..get to the point , yess porvavorr. but ofcorse it was also fun , sherching through google trying to find the right thing .But the point is that well i drew my best and i think it came out really good . and i hope it dosent get all messed up when i try to go and put it on flash , i'am realy bad at drawing on flash. I mean it's so hard to wiggle ur mouse around to make a perfect picture in flash , ''O LORD '' , o my goodniss . yea ,s o that's not going to work out .Well i guess i'll have to try my best agin , it's all abot the work you put into your'e work .

-LET'S SEE HOW THIS WORK'S OUT >_<

prototype

okay , so making this prototype was umm .. let's say easy >__^ . But wait until we get to doing our , big grade game. whoooof ' ! is that some work , too much thinkinng.But hay school ,is well school. and i love globaloria , it'sawesome because you get to do stuff , you could never do at any other school. and yess ! i'am excited to get to starting this awesommeee ! game . well not so awesome yet ! . I really like making the prototye first because it gives you ideas about how , ur games going to come out . how it's going to be like .its kinda like planning , well it is planning.maineeee.... >__<  , do i love GLOBALORIAAA .. !! tehe' .

Plan Game Scene

okay , now iam starting to get really excited because my game is starting to come out .i have all that i need and i think , that this year it went even faster . I mean it's the third week and were alredy on our paper prototype !! . for me that went fast. well getting off topic , and going more into the idea of my game , it will be about run off and how it effects all of the animals , that  live in river's or streams . Animals , inocinte animals , like fish or turttle's . That don't have to live in that kind of inviornment if the world would make a little chane and recycle , but the problem is that were to layzy , and we can't get up to throw away , our soda cans or even our new's paper and what i mean , buy throw away i mean in the reycleing bin ! :DD tehe ''
So why don't we just make one simple change , to help out and clean our river's . And mabye when we all get to that piont ,we can all clean our ocean . How's that sound world ! yup me too iam excited , so let's get started with my game . when you can play it and lean so much . Learn how to care , and hove fun with it also.Helping the earth is hard work . But all of the good stuff in life take's hard work , like for example going to college , or earnig money for a new car . all thing's and life that are good take time and effort. You just have to learn how to take that time and effort first , before you start doing something that big , and i guess the world dosent have that yet . so let's all '' MAKE A CHANGE'' .

choose learning topic

in choosing my topic , and now that i know kind of how my game is going to look like in my head, iam getting really excited , but once you plan the game , like our paperprototype , and you start to work on the game . It dosen't come out the way you want it to . it come's out all oppisite  and wierd because it's hard to darw in flash , but o well '' iam going to try my best this year the way i want it to be . my game is going to be abiut the enviornment , and how people need to take care of our planet better . i learned alo't and think that i can learn more . it is verry exciteing to learn new things about our plant earth , suff i never knew before.and the wiki , help's me out alo't when i start to do my game .and i think my game will also , go with global warming alittle , because its about ho well it efects everything , and the water animmal's life eart ! somepeople just dont care . what's wrong with them its our home .

playing to learn part1

okay , so today in my favorite class (( Globaloroia )) , we learned about hidden object game's , to give us ideas for our game . and yes i have an idea , but it's a surprise . We played some of these games , and we wrote a review on one of the games that we played . then we wrote all of the game ingritents that were in the main game that we played , game ingridents are thing's , tool's that you use in a game to make it fun , for there to be a goal , a way to win or loose . But sadly this game that we played  ((Dirty River)) ,was not so fun , there were no ways to loose , unless you never found an object . wich is imposible i think because all you had to do it look real close . My game will be much more harder . my game will go to atlest two levels . There will be a way to loose , and a great way to win , there will be point's a timer , and a score box .this game really helped me t think out my own , game and how to make mine better . it will be hard work , but at the end it will all be worth it .! >.< ummm .. i hopee?! '' so that was my short post about how this hidden object game today , really helped my out ! muchooo's graciass   -Genevieve Garcia

first month of school !

Wow dose the time go by fast ! . i still remember being all lost , trying to find my classes . Also our schedule got changed like three or four times . our classes were supposed to get smaller , but instead they got bigger , great !'' more noise for me . but i was awesome , because i got to see all of my friends after three month's . Even though i did see some of them during the summer . Gosh do i with summer lasted forever . I do love school though because with out it , what would i know ?!. the first week , was alright it could of been better i think if they would of finished the school on time . because we had to be out side for at least two week's . and we had to be eating in a parking lot ! . i know sounds weird , but it's what we did . But now it's much , much better , we get to eat in the gym , and we have most of our classes in , cool air ! , ''inside'' . but we still have some classes in side . but there some nice portables . Yes the first week was a jerny , but I'm hopeing that it will get better , and better each week we come to school , by the way i hope , that our schedules don't get changed a 5th time man , would that stink ! . but i guess its okay , because we have more chances , to get classes with our friend's . , that's the good part about it , but the worst part is , having to find u'r new class and having to memorize , i whole new schedule . Yes , I'm going nut's with this whole thing , but hay ! '' what can i say , it's my school , a new place , new people , new teacher's & staff . All of these new thing's to learn and memorize , all by the end of the year , when are backpack's aren't so new , when are crayon's are broken in pieces , when our binder's are written all over with back & blue pen , with all the names of our friend's on it . when , summer come's again & this whole school thing will start all over ! . A new backpack , new friend's , new crayon's and pen's , a time to start off fresh , it's like every year you get another chance at , being who you want to be . My foal this year is to not get in Any drama , because , I'm tired of it , tired of the tear's , tie rd of watching my friend's get hurt all because of drama , i mean come on ! it's  , school.

Spirit Of The Marathon ; o_0

Marathon ;

stomp ; stomp , stomp ! '' The sound of millions of people running rapid , and out of order ! ''.

A marathon , what is it ; its something special , to some people , something that people might say whatever to . something that brings tears to your eyes . it's more than just running . Its 26.21876 miles  of  hard work  and sweat . 

Many people choose to do marathons , because they feel good about running ; that's there thing  , they like it so why not just  R U N  ! .  for fun , for charity , for whatever  . running is like video games for boys , addictive ; fun ; and I guess entertaining . It's just like a hobby . 

Jerry Meyers was 70 years old and , still a strong man . Even though he is old he , sets goals for hem self and , want to accomplish them and he dose . 

he inspired me because he made me think like , it doesn't matter how old you are or , how fast you are in life ; that you can still make it no matter what , and he inspired me to think about my future . I want to be a Doc. and if I'm going to one i have top believe in my self and set goals for my life , and future !

My Final Game ;D .'

ABOUT ;
O key , do key ; I made a game with my partner , Andrea Garza ; we made a social issue game about changing the world . ' Well a'litte part of it  Oil spills / water pollution . I really liked my game ; because I know that if people , kids ; adults play my game it could really make a change because , everybody likes Video Games ! ; and well playing one that can teach you something is awesome .
 
                             THINGS , I LIKE ABOUT MY GAME ;
Again I love my game not because , ill get a good grade , or because ill pass my class but ; because I know that maybe it will change the world well in my imagination , its at least one step closer , to making a change .
 
 another reason why I like my game is because , of everything i learned new on working on this game , new coding and Lot's of work putting levels together ! ' ; I feel proud of my game  ;D

     them last reason why I like my game  , is  working together with someone , helped me understand more because , she may know thing's ; I don't and , I can help her on things , she may not know or want to learn .


                                THINGS I WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE ;
Well not my whole game was , finished the way I wanted it to be  , i still needed to fix up my enemies  . make your hero go back when it hit / touched one ! '

Another thing I would like to change about my game is changing my background putting more work into it ,  and it wasn't ready for the globes ' .

The third and final thing that I didn't like about my game was that we planed for it to be more than just a turtle  jumping ' around  , grabbing cans  , and they kept getting mad at us ; and maybe that's why we didn't finish our game .. ?  : /


Cool story bro tell it again .. ? hey you ; yea you no really tell it again ! ^_<  .. ?

Platform game project

PLATFORM   GAMING : 
yes... for the last three weeks we have been working on the plat form game . I have really enjoyed learning all of these new things like for example , copping down the codes & , or fixing my errors  in my game .
so this project has helped me a 'lot . I have learned how good I am working by my self  , a partner & learning how to fix my errors . the thing I really did not enjoy about this project was typing every singe
code down after we watch a little bit of the video .

 WHY:
I think it is a good idea to save , publish and upload to the wiki every time that we do something new . I think that it keeps things more organized & helps the class move faster !. This is a really good stagy & it  helped me out a 'lot now this helped keeps my learning log in order !.My favorite part about this project was saying Harry ! . after I  made my character jump , move & go the right way !.
                                                           

New Schedules (;

Getting a new schedule is not so bad but , I guess everyone will get used to it when we get by a week . But the Sukey thing about this new schedule is the new reading class which will be twice as much the work !. & a new teacher that everyone is going to have to get used to . This new schedule is okay because i have alto of classes with the people i get along with but i kinda miss the classed that i had with my other friend's o well it's school we are hear to learn not to talk & start drama !. even though sometimes I start some .? ha.'  This new schedule I think will be better for us & for the school I think we will be more organized .
