Today, we finished the character effects for our game. Character effects involve changing the properties of an object. The character effects we made changes the color of an object as you scroll over buttons.

We finished the timer yesterday, but I had no time to start the blog. The timer counts down from ten seconds to zero, but a problem occurs that make the timer start counting down negative time.

I have just completed the score keeping section of the development topics. This topic involved changing the variables in Fly Catcher and Go Rabbit, Go! games. I also created a simple "game" that involves pushing a button to raise and lower your score.
Here is the link to the "game" I made:

The green button raises your score by one hundred but the red button lowers your score by seventy-five.
For the past few days we have been trying to add sound to our game and finally succeeded today. We used a volume slider to control the loudness of the volume and a play and stop button to make the music actually start and stop.

We started the preloader section of our game on the Monday of this week. At first we could not figure out how to make the preloader work, but Mrs. Halsey put a link to a tutorial on the main wiki page that helped us make the preloader. We then stated having trouble uploading it to the wiki. I asked Meredith and she told us to use an animation, which we have already done for two of our games.
Here is the link to the tutorials:
