Digitech - Stakeholder Feedback

In digi-tech we created surveys which we sent out to our group. These surveys had options of which layout design idea they thought was the best. I gave out three and Layout idea 1 seemed to be the best one. The picture at the bottom is Layout idea one. There are three separate levels and the obstacle courses have been planned out in a google drawing. From here we will create our transfer our design idea to scratch witch is a gaming programme where we will create our game.

Tamaki College - Digitech

At Tech in Tamaki College half of the year eights are participating in Digitech. Digitech is where you learn all the the gaming programmes, this is how you create your own game. To create our game uses a very helpful website scratch. Our group is making a plat-former game. A plat-former game is where you go through multiple levels, and go from one end to the other with plenty of obstacles making it a challenge. In our games we have to include sprites these are characters you add in your game. Using Photoshop I created this tennis player which will soon be participating to my game.

My Platformer game

 This is my Plat-former game. I created this at Digital Tech at Tamaki College. For 1 and a half term we have been learning about game making and how what each unique code does. We also had working in photoshop witch I also created a blogpost to. My plat-former game is about a bat who needs to get to home try play this game without dying!

Cross Country

On Wednesday week 7 we have cross country. These 4 weeks we have been training around the school running laps. Everyday we have been adding laps. I think this has definitly helped me prepare for the actual cross country wich will be an extremely long legnth. The image above as one of me pacing myself with my friend Zahra. Pacing Oursleves is something that will keep our heart rate at the right pace, if we ran fast than we would have to stop and then get a stich. In the beggining I ran but then stopped quater of the way and then walked. As I went long I have realised ways I can keep myself at the right pace. One of them are when I am tired I count 1, 2, 1, 2 with every step I take to keep me going. 

Sketch noting

Sketchnoting

For the past few days our school has been working on sketchnoting. Sketchnoting is just like writing notes but with pictures wich help you make a better connection and understanding of what you are learning. Sketchnoting makes you want to actually look deeper into something because with page full of bullet points what would be so interestin? With pictures to explain it will make things so much more interesting. Up above is an image of  my sketchnote about the City Rio and the olympics.With Sketchnoting it dosnt have to be perfect it just has to be so that you can understand noone else has to.
