Le FINISHED!

That's it! We're done! Here's our final Vlog. After this, we are no more. Tacopocalypse has disbanded! DONE! IT'S OVER!!!

SCIENCE!

Well...not really...

However, I have made progress on my game over Spring Break. I got a nifty running animation of the stick figure and made some progress on the background...but not a lot. Still have work to do, so I'll leave it at that.

Correction:
Apparently, I was supposed to add some sort of animation dealing with my topic.
Well...here's some math:

ANY QUESTIONS ? by *spacewarp on deviantART

Buttons

I made them. I had no idea what the tutorial wanted of me, so instead I made a bunch of buttons and showed how they navigated.

Trust me, I might be terrible at Flash, but buttons are easy.

Stuff and Things

We've been working on a lot of stuff, so it's hard to keep up a blog along the side. But, here it is. Did Scrolling Background tutorial. The tutorial lied. The code is wrong. I was sad. Moving on...
Trying to use moving background combined with a "randomizer" of sorts to make it so that doodles and math problems scroll along the background while the character runs, to make the boring lined paper background feel more..."active".
Alas, I return to work.

LATER!

Obligatory Blogging

I haven't blogged in forever, and we're kind of supposed to be doing this constantly, so I decided to throw up a random, nonspecific blog post to fulfill the obligations of the class.

In short: I'm no good at Flash, have the attention span of a squirrel, and keep forgetting to bring in the pictures I told the teacher I'd try to fix up on Photoshop.

Oh, and...no...that's it.

My Biggest Challenge

My biggest challenge working on FLASH this past week?
FINDING A USEFUL TUTORIAL!
I mean, come on! I know how to open FLASH and start a new Actionscript! You don't have to tell me so many dang times! I just want to know how to make my guy run! But, NOOOOO! All they wanna do is show off a .gif image of their work or tell me stuff I don't need to know!

Help Wanted:
Useful Information

Z3ch uses Flash! It's not very effective.

I'm not very good at Flash, so all my work has yielded little results. I'm trying to create an awesome running code, but to no avail.

Last year, William and the protesters "moved", as in the sprite went left or right, but they didn't perform actions. It looked like a really bad puppet show, not a video game. I'm trying to make it so the characters legs move while they move, so they appear to be actually running.

I'll continue my work, and hopefully it pays off.
