#49 Problems/Solutions

I could write a book on every problem I've had with flash this year. I think my first real issue was with timers, so I went to the help desk. I also seem to leave out semi colons a lot so I've had to remind myself to check for them. I also keep finding weird bugs with Flash that even my teacher can't help me with, so I have to go to the Help Desk A LOT. I've had issues with getting everything done, and ended up changing my game a lot. Now I'm wrestling with using sounds and not making the game file too big.

#48 Combining Code

As a Globaloria 2 student, I'm not on a team and therefore I don't have to combine code. I can talk about last year, though. Working down to the wire made combining a little stressful. However, Austin pretty much handled it. I believe we ended up putting everything into different sub folders to keep it straight. It's sort of an annoying process that I'm glad I don't have to do this year.


This is how I felt trying to combine code last year:

#46 Most Important Things

I think it's sort of subjective as to what's most important to check for when code has an error. I'd say, in my personal experience, what I've usually done wrong is left out a curly bracket or put one in the wrong place or added an extra one. I'm just really bad with my curly brackets. I'm also usually guilty of leaving out semi colons. I think another common thing is not using an instance name or misspelling a word. These are my most common errors, but this year I've seemed to find every instance of Flash just acting weird or finding weird bugs in Flash.

#45 Most Difficult Concept

The most difficult concept to teach players about my game is just how important it is to be prepared for a hurricane. It's hard to stress that enough while also covering all the other points I want to make. I'm using a variety of internet resources. Mostly government type websites like FEMA. In addition I'm using Red Cross and the Salvation Army websites too.

#44 You May Not Recognize Yourself In 10 Years

I really really hope I'm not the same person I am now, in ten years. I mean, I'm 17. I don't want to be stuck in a 17 year old mindset forever. That being said, I hope some parts of me stay the same and that some of my tastes don't change. In 10 years... I want to be on stage. I want to be performing, done with college or getting a masters of fine art. I could be married, but I don't even know if I ever want to get married. Kids...eh. Maybe.
