Flash Buttons

Creating the flash buttons was basically simple. The toutrials were a little helpful. We are finishing up on our title page for our game. We have decided to call the game "Poverty : Living with this crisis" . We have to create many buttons so hopefully it gets easier. Everyday flash gets a little easier, so this game project should be a fun assignment.

Gilgamesh and the Iliad

The heros from Gilgamesh and the Iliad are a lot like characters of today. Most game characters today are based on ancient times and immortal beings. To be completely honest, they really are good games. Gilgamesh really remineded me of a game called "God of War". The charcater is fueled by anger after the death of his wife and child. He fights against the Gods of Olympus in search of revenge. The chaacters from Gilgamesh and the Iliad fuel many of todays games in many ways.

Canterbury Tales

Chaucer chose the characters tthat he did because he wanted his characters to be great people who could influence others to do the great things they've done. Characters like the knight or the monk were not only great heros, but they were also gentle men who were christian men. It's not a common thing to have a great warrior who is not a mindless chaotic blood thirsty maniac. Hia characters are the people that normal people dream to be, but never reach that level of perfectness.
These characters were important to society because in the stories the were great warriors, nobel men, wealthy, or anything that the perfect person could be like. They did what they loved to do, and they influenced the people around them to do the same. They influenced the people reading to be excited about life and do what you love to do, and be who you want to be. Everyone needs a hero and that's what some of theses were. I believe that this depiction of time and people was a little off. I think the characters are too perfect for real life. Some though were just good people.
The development of characters in a game is very important. You want your character's looks and personality to match the game's. The charqcters in games are tipically over rated for real life, so in my game I'm going to make my character as real as possible. That way, my game will be as real as possible.Characters are important in the gaming world. Without characters you have no game . charcters whether small or large make up the different types of games. With heros, villians, competitors, enemies, and opponents, these are all made up of different characters.
