Spirit of the marathon!!!!!

This week we watched Spirit of the Marathon. It was a documentary that followed six people -out of  hundreds of people running-as they trained for and ran the 2005 Chicago Marathon.  

A marathon, is a group of people from anywhere, that run together 26.2 miles, anywhere in the world.
I think the reason people do marathon's is because they like to run, and they would like to achieve their goal. I found the story with Mokto/Daniel Njenga interesting.He came from Kenya  to Japan to start a marathon  and finally win 1st place because that was his goal since he kept getting 2nd place. He also wanted to train for the Boston and Chicago marathon.
People who attended and were interviewed for the maratgon are: 
Deena Kastor, who had won the bronze medal in the women's marathon in the 2004 Olympics, 
Daniel Njenga, the runner from Kenya, 
Ryan Bradley who wanted to qualify for the Boston marathon but injured his knee and was unable to run so instead cheered on his wife, 
Lori O'Connor who was running to raise money for a charity, 
Leah Caille who was a single mother and had recently been divorced, and 
Jerry Meyers who was the 70 year old man running with his daughter.I also thought this story with the dad and daughter was really bonding and cute. 

The people in the film were motivated by things inside them, not by money or fame. I know that i'm not a runner but I would like to start running a bit, to get in shape.Haahaa! but, anyways I would like to become a vetanerian. As I accomplish my goal I will study science.

There is a famous phrase, "It's a marathon, not a sprint?" Ill explain later.

My game!!♥

Me and my partner Rubi did a final game called "Oil Disaster."
It is about a girl racing time to get the main bad guy, and stop him from putting the last bit of oil in the ocean!!And you have to pass him side kicks on the way as well!!
I wanted two levels on it , but I didn't get to finish, so I made one.
I also wanted to put a timer , and I dint know how.
If I had a chance to change it I would have put 3 level's , better looking enemy's for oil people, and a timer.
I really liked the fact that I had a hero to go through the game , the screens for you lose and you win work, and that I even had a chance to work with somebody.

Final Game Reflection!!:D

Yay!! The year is almost up!! and still their so much to learn in globaloria , one of the things that got me interested were the games that actually moved!! Also iv learned how to do that and make a part of player move while doing something else! their are so many interesting things that I've learned like how to make enemy's , hero's and platforms!!
I actually think I got better at recognizing some of the actions for buttons and a little on platform game making. Last year I didn't really  have much of a hard time finding help on the game-making concept , but this year I did get some help from friends and the teacher as well.
While doing my "wolf quest" game -this was my 2nd to last game I tried to make-I learned that in yellow stone their are endangered gray wolfs!! and while making another game named "Oil Disaster" with Rubi O.(my partner) , I learned that their are still oil spills around the world , especially in yellow stone, national park.
Iv'e also found out a little more things about my self as well.
I found out that even if you don't know somebody as a friend or partner you can be if you just work together, so yes I actually found out some help from people is a good thing. So next time i'm stuck on something, I can ask the people around me.
This year I think quit a few of people got more confident with what they can do with computers, I know I did.
One valuable thing that I learned this year is working together and feeling confident, in what you do and for who you are.
 I think the most challenging thing I did in globaloria , is to make the platform game, oh!! and don't even get me started in keeping the score moving with the hero  in a platform game!!
So here you go try it!!
