Good morning everyone. As we discussed yesterday, I'm out at a funeral today. That makes today a work day. What should you be working on? Keep grinding on the screen print. Whatever step your on, keep working on it and move to the next. Remember that if you can't do something because you need equipment that's being used, you could always do one of the steps with an * behind it! Hope you have a good day!

As we discussed yesterday, I'm out today. But that just means that you have an entire, uninterrupted period to finish up the vector. If it's done, fantastic!!! Work on preparing that button document that we started in class yesterday. Have that all set up, awesome! Select all of your vector, group it by pressing Ctrl G, and then copy and paste it into the button file. My plan is to move us back into the lab tomorrow and show you how to put the finishing touches on the button, print it and assemble it. That doesn't mean that it has to be done today, but if it is, your button could be made tomorrow. Hope you all have a great day today!

Good afternoon gamers, hope your having a great day. With me out, you have the entire period to work creating your vectors (remember that they were due yesterday so each day they lose 5%), exporting them as PNG's so they can go into GameMaker Studio, or programming the game with directions. The Alpha is due Friday, so use the time that you have! I'll see you tomorrow! Remember that if you need help, message or email and I'll request you for Flex on Wednesday. Have a great day!
