August Workshop

With the beginnng of school looming in a few days, there are many questions that need to be answered.

Our school is going through repairs which involve tearing down the inside walls, digging into the ground, and refilling the soil. Then the school will be rebuilt.

In the meantime, our school is being moved to our high school, using every available room or space.

Will the new location work? What schedule changes will be needed? How will the mix of elementary and middle school mix with the high school?

Time will soon tell.

World Wide Workshop

The workshop got into the nitty-gritty. The game groups started thinking about their games. Presenters gave us lots of information about developing games and using Flash.

The drawing part of Flash gave me fits. I spent an hour trying to figure out how to paint the floor of my virtual floor. No luck. I had lots of help, but the concluding advice was that this happens sometimes. I also had difficulty drawing a straight line without it curving into another line. I found out to talk out the "snapping" command.

I think that drawing backgrounds might be easier to do in Paint and than transferred to Flash.

I also found a way to put Javascript into Flash.

All in all, it was a productive day.
