intro to project 2

the title is a work in progress...

Project 2

I am really enjoying this project so far! Today in class, I developed my idea and started with my first level.  I have an underwater theme, which falls similar to Sean's game he made for the class.  But with my own added spark to it. haha. here is my jpg of my first level.  i have drawn all of the characters but i have not decided who i want to be the protagonist.  

My Class Status

So, for some reason, I feel like no matter how hard I work, I am falling behind in this class.  Maybe its because I am having a lot of trouble working out the kinks in my project 1.  This is making me really frustrated because we already have another project due next week.  I am majorly stressing about this.  The problems that I am having with my first game are this:

1. I can't get the Loading screen to pop up first before the instructions screen

2. I can't  get my main character to come back down from jumping too high

3. I lost my version with the end screen and I still have to get that back on there

4. I can't figure out how to make there be only points for the celebs they hit not just every time they shoot

anyway, i bet im making myself sound like more of a failure listing all of the things that i dont know how to do.  anyway, just have to keep on trucking.

The Closing of Wafaa

I do not have that much of an opinion about the closing of the wafaa.  I believe that freedom of speech and art is extremely important, but on the other hand, a gallery should have the right to display whatever art pieces that it chooses.  To me, however, i feel like the attention that it is getting because they closed the gallery is more important than the actual gallery.  By closing it, it is bringing national attention to the problem, and more people are getting driven and involved.  More people will probably be seeing this piece because of its termination, than if it were to just be displayed in the gallery.
