Technology


I feel that I am doing everything good in technology class I don't think that I am doing bad in nothing because I've always been an intelligent student. Really I don't have that much trouble only in the vocabulary words for the test. I have trouble remembering their definitions because I am not really used to know and talk technology words only using the computer.

I am frustrated about my classmates not knowing what to do just because they weren't paying attention they were in some other websites wondering around and that causes Ms. Miller not to go on because she has to help them also we loose time and we get behind. What I can do to get a better understanding of the class would be maybe to help the other kids when they are falling behind maybe tell them to get out of the websites and follow Ms.Miller for us not to loose time and get work done. Also the technology people can block the websites that they go to when we are in task so they don't go to them. What Ms.Miller can do to help us understand the concepts of Globaloria are she can tell us what's the reason we are doing Globaloria, what will happen if we don't get it done, what if we get behind or what fun we'll we miss if we don't design the games.

An art game or arthouse game is a video game that is designed in such a way as to emphasize art or whose structure is intended to produce some kind of reaction in its audience. Art games typically go out of their way to have a unique, unconventional look, often standing out for aesthetic beauty or complexity in design. This concept extends to the realm of modified ("modded") gaming when modifications have been made to existing non-art-games to produce graphic results intended to be viewed as an artistic display, as opposed to modifications intended to change game play scenarios or for storytelling. Modified games created for artistic purposes are sometimes referred to as "video game art."My toughts about an art game would be that maybe the person who invented it is trying to get people to draw to checkout their designs so I say that the inventor is making us express ourselves with art.
An adventure game is a video game in which the player assumes the role of protagonist in an interactive story that is driven by exploration and puzzle-solving instead of physical challenges such as combat. The term originates from the 1970s computer game Adventure and relates to the style of game play pioneered in that game, rather than the kind of story being told.
The adventure genre's focus on story allows it to draw heavily from other narrative-based media, such as literature and film. Adventure games encompass a wide variety of literary genres, including fantasy, science fiction, mystery, horror, and comedy. Nearly all adventure games are designed for a single player, since the heavy emphasis on story and character makes multi-player design difficult.Because these games require strong characters and plots, character development tends to follow literary conventions of personal and emotional growth, rather than growth that affects game play.
The genre's popularity peaked during the late 1980s and mid 1990s when many considered it to be among the most technically advanced genres, and it is now sometimes considered to be a niche genre. According to the Entertainment Software Association, in 2007 Adventure Games comprised 4.3% of Video Game Super Genres by units sold in the US (up from 3.4% in 2006) and 5% of best-selling Computer Game Super Genres](down from 5.7% in 2006. although it is not clear how the Super Genre was defined.I think that an adventure game is really about fighting has to do with enemies the person is trying to express his self in the game. To prove that his adventurous.
