My Life



1.      Canadian National Anthem I chose this song as my first one because its Canada’s national anthem. The reason why this is important because I was born in Canada, and I have always lived in Canada

2.      Pokemon Theme Song  I chose this song aswell, because pokemon is one of the best memories of my child hood. Pokemon was the first show that I’ve watched, It was the first movie that I can recall, and it was the first videogame I have ever played. It was my childhood in a nutshell.

3.      Together We Ride (no lyrics) I chose this song because it’s a song that is for working together. I strongly dislike working by myself, so I chose it to represent that.

4.      Sponge Bob Square Pants Theme Song Aside from Pokémon, this was another show that I was obsessed with as a child. I don’t know what it was about it, I couldn’t even understand what some of the words they used.

5.      Don’t Stop Me Now I chose this song because usually when I start something I like to do, (like a new game) I don’t like to stop a lot during it, because I’m having fun with what I’m doing, which this song is about.

6.      Okami – Harami Lake (no lyrics) I chose this song because of how relaxing it is. I listen to it almost daily before I sleep because of how relaxing it is. It’s a nice, soft, relaxing song that I like.

7.      One – I chose this song because it was one of my favorite songs from my childhood. It is also the song that got me into drumming. It had such an amazing drum part that it had inspired me to learn it.

8.       Pumped Up kicks - I chose this song to represent why it’s bad to have a powerful weapon at hand. It represents why I would never touch a lethal weapon, because you can lose control very easily.

9.       It’s a long way to the top - I chose this song because it shows what it takes to become famous, and I had to keep that in mind when I started to play my insturments that I probably wouldn’t get to be famous.

10.  Little Drummer Boy – I chose this song because I am a drummer because I feel like I always try my best when I play for other people, which is what happens in this song. I can also relate to this song because it’s a Winnipeg song.

    Sploder Video Game - Investigate

    • What makes a “good” game enjoyable to play? 

    What I think makes a good game is to be able to play it through multiple times, like in Resident Evil 4. The reason that game had such a good replay value was because there was alot more to unlock to the story after its done. Another thing that makes a good game is to be able to feel emotion for a character. If there is no connection, then you cant put in twists, and therefor, the game can be very bland.

    • What makes a “bad” game not enjoyable to play?


    somethings that makes a game bad is not having a steady FPS. Also, another thing that a game cannot have if its going to be enjoyable is it cannot crash. crashing makes the game frusterating, and having to replay some areas can make or break a game, in my opinion.

    Sploder Video Game - Design

    • What type of game are you going to produce?

    I will produce a platformer game, with enemies and wepons in it.

    • What will it look like?

    It will look like an arena style fighter mixed with platforming.

    • How will the characters be controlled?

    The charicter will be controlled with the 4 way arrow keys and a few keys (like zxc and space)

    • What will be the objective of the game?

    The objective will be to get all the crystals, but in order to move on and get the crystals you will need to kill some enemies

    • How are you going to test its functionality?

    I travel past the level and test a majoraty of space to make sure you cant fall through the floor, or go past the walls. 

    • How will it be evaluated?

    I think it will be evaluated based on how buggy it is and the fun factor

    • How long will you need to create it? Give a timeline for its completion.

    I should take about all the class time we have deticated towards this project

    Sploder Video Game - Plan

    •      What will you do first? Why?
              The first thing I will do in the creation of my game will be to make the terrain, because if i don't the level will fall apart. the charicter would fall through the level, and be unable to reach the goal.

    •     How will you insure that you complete the project on time?
              I will set goals for each class, for instance one class i will create terrain, next i will create villans, etc.
    • Who will test beta versions of your game?
              Faheem, Awsaf, and Garett will beta test my game.

    • Will you incorporate other people’s suggestions into your game’s design?
              I will, because no great game has ever been created by one person alone.

    • How will you decide if you have created a good game or not?
                I will get feed back, and test it multiple times to make sure there are no glitches and   bugs.

    Photo Story Collage


    1. This is a picture of my family. Family is important because well, they sort of have to be. In my family I have a Mom, a Dad, two sisters, a dog, and myself.
         
    2. This is a picture representing winter. Winter is my favorite seasons for a few reasons. Firstly I like the cold weather, Secondly I like the look of snow everywhere. And in this season has my favorite holiday, Christmas.

    3.  This is a picture of drums. Drums are important to me because they were the first type of instrument that I actually played (recorder in grade 4 doesn’t count, they didn’t teach anything except hot cross buns really.) It was a good experience, and I hope I can perform again soon.
       
    4. This is a picture of my favorite pastime, videogames. I like videogames so much because they are fun, relaxing, and can be very challenging. There is a wide genre, so there are is a game for everyone, if they give them a change.

    5. This is my dog zeppelin; he is 7 years and 10 months. He’s an important part of my life because he’s always around, and always energetic. He loves to go for walks, and car rides.

    6. This is a picture of food, more specifically, a hamburger and fries. This is my favorite meal, because it’s simple, tasty, and a “universal food” in which more often than not, people will like it.

    7. This is a picture of a Christmas tree. Christmas is important to me because I am Christian, and it’s a Christian holiday. It is also my favorite holiday because you get gifts, and turkey, my favorite holiday food is served

    8. This is a picture of hockey. Hockey is my favorite sport. What I like most about hockey is the awesome atmosphere when the playoffs come around. And when they are playing really close games it’s just so much fun to watch, although it can be a letdown if your team loses a close match.

    9. This is a picture of a computer. Computers are my second favorite pastime to use, because there is a wide variety of stuff to do on it. You have your facebook, youtube, homework, flash games, music, and so much more that I find it a one stop destination for stuff to do.

    10. This is a picture of a television. Television  is a nice pastime, when I have no other options. There is always a good show on it seems, and when no one can decide on something to do, Television is a good option. And now since most shows are in HD, it’s no longer a strain on the eyes to watch!

    Computer schematic

    Moniter - The part that shows you a visual of what is happening on the computer

    Computer - It runs programs on the hard drive

    VGA cable - Sends an image from the computer to the moniter

    Ethernet cable - Connects the computer to the internet
