Game Title Design

Today I created a game title using my new knowledge of motion guides and buttons, that I gained from watching various tutorials on flash, from the HLife wiki. It took me awhile to grasp the concept of motion guides and to use it accurately, but towards the end, I was able to use them in my title screen pretty easily. Buttons I'll have to continue working on tomorrow, although I've already begun the process today. Yesterday I only worked for 3 hours, but I was able to organize all the game screens into one giant project. Today, Jeff showed me some tricks on how to minimize the size of that project so it could be uploaded - for example, I learned how to make symbols and how to use the library. He also taught me how to create both movie symbols and graphic symbols and use them to save memory. 

Today I also got to speak to some of the Rethinkers! We had a sort of vidchat with them and they were able to ask us questions and we all viewed each others pages. I really enjoy having that connection with them, and its a lot of fun following their classwork here in New York. It's nice to hear the sounds of a classroom too, since we are doing their lessons as well!
