My game idea is to make a diving game in which you explore the depths of the ocean.

I am ver excited to start making my game because it will aloow me to do research on the ocean and the many things that live in the ocean. The ocean is one of my favorite things so i will be able to focus on my game alot more.

Mini Game

My mini game was very hard to finish. I had alot of problems. My bunny lost its head. I couldnt get my carrot to move. I had never worked with flash or any type of game designing software so it made it harder for me.

Success

A few things that would help me more successful in my globaloria class would be: not looking at prom dresses all the time and learning how to code the right way.
I can be more successful if i just try a little harder. My senioritis is kicking in way too fast.

Taxes

Taxes are necessary to support a community, state, and country. I think taxes on things that help people should be less than things that hurt people. The taxes on alcohol and tobacco products should have the highest taxes. Things like gas and food should not have a lot of taxes because too many taxes can hurt people financially.

GDP and Inflation

GDP stands for Gross Domestic Product. The four main components of gross domestic product are
    1. Consumer spending for food, clothing, housing, and other aspects.
    2. Business spending for buildings, equipment, and inventory items.
    3. Government spending to pay employees and to buy supplies and other goods and services.
    4. The exports of a country less the imports into the country.


Inflation is when the price of goods and services increase. This reduces the buying power of the dollar. Interest rates represent the cost of money. Interest rates are influenced by the demand and supply of money

Interent Sites and Game Topic

Hello, My name is Jessicah Cross. I am currently a senior taking Globaloria. For my game topic, my partner and I chose a game about the environment. The one environment that we are focusing on is the ocean. We will be designing a game that allows you to experience the dangers and wonders of the ocean. Some of the websites that we have picked will help us by showing us what the plant and animal life in the ocean pose problems and how they work together to survive.

My Game Topic Choice

The game that interests me the most for my game topic choice would have to be Drift Runners. To me, it was the most fun game. It wasnt ver educational but it was fun and i think kids would enjoy it the most. The game consists of a race and you have to drift around the turns. Its pretty basic but it had good graphics and the game runs smoothly. They are numerous levels and goals as you advance.

Decision Making Process

If I had to choose between participating in an after school activity and having a part time I job, I would have to think very carefully. I would start by stating my problem which would be deciding which option to choose. Next I would identify my choices which are participating in an after school activity or having a part time job. Next I identify the pros and cons or both options available to me. Working after school would help me save up money for college and doing more stuff with my friends or even getting my own car. Joining an after school club or group would look good on my college application because it would show my devotion to school and my dedication. After all of these steps it is time to choose my option. I choose joining an after school activity. This would bring me closer to my friends and help me more in the long run, and plus i will be getting scholarships for college and therefore I will not need as much money. I think I made a good decision.
