Start of The 3rd Quarter

For this quarter I'm going to be making research on Flash. Today I found a website on Flash the website name is http://eduscapes.com/flash/basics.htm#1. I'm going to be researching about the basics about Flash.

In order to view graphics, audio, video, animation that can run from a web browser, CD, or on the desktop of computers and hand-held devices. In order to do Flash you have to know the step. First,you have to do a Stage this is the area where you will be working with the visual aspects of your project. Then you have to make a time line the Time line is set up in rows representing layers and columns representing time by individual frames. After, is the Media object such as graphics, audio, and sound are imported into the Flash Library. Finally, is the Action Script Code is used to add interactions and controls to your project.

Today Thursday the 28th I tried to download Adobe Professional but is not compatible for Ubuntu only for Windows and Mac. I also tried to download the purchased Studio 8 and it didn't work Im still researching why it doesn't work.

I finally installed Studio 8. The reason why it did not let me download it because I did not have Wine

Webster the Robot's World

Webster is a robot he knows how to move but in this program you can teach him how to make new moves and tricks like moving twice or moving 3 times. Today I thought Webster to build a wall. I think this is an amazing activity because it teach you about programing. Teaching a robot is like communicating with a computer. On my next article I'm going to talk about teaching him how to run into walls he feels no pain. But they do have emotions!
Today I thought Webster to walk around without running in into walls, it was a little tricky but i think I've got it. Here is a link to the basics walk of Webster and the step of him going around without hitting the wall. My thought abouts this game is great i thing this activity is really good for teaching young adults about programing. There some few things that I do not like is that, This activity should have a button to save your process rather than starting all over your work again.
