Wonder-Space is awesome.Now i think flash is cool.It's fun here because there is game time and lunch,but sometimes when i come with my sister there is traffic.

Counter Strike

2008-07-25T11:46:00.000-07:00

Counter Strike is a really fun game we learned in Wonder Space. At first I was against it because it was so violent but after I played I couldn't stop.
Ciao for now, Nikki

fun

this is what we are learning in java!


package matthewsjavaapp;

import java.io.*;
public class Main {

  
   public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
Controller player1 = new Controller();
BufferedReader inputter = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
      System.out.print("How long do you want to play?");
      int input =Integer.parseInt(inputter.readLine());
      if(input<= 100)    // put in a loop for trying again             player1.play(input);
else System.out.println("The Battery doest hold that much charge.");                System.out.println("Enter A command");                
System.out.println("1. Charge Battery");                
System.out.println("2. Drain Battery");                            
int command = Integer.parseInt(inputter.readLine());               
if (command == 1 && true)player1.batterypack.charge();                
if (command == 2 && true)player1.batterypack.drain();                System.out.println("Battery charge level is now " + player1.batterypack.charge);               }  } 
this is a battery


package matthewsjavaapp;

public class Battery {
int charge = 100;
boolean IsDead = false;
void chargeby(int a) {
charge = charge + a;
}
void drainby(int b){
charge = charge - b;
}
void charge(){
   if (charge <100){>0){
   charge-=10;
   }
}
void recharge() {charge=100;}
void CheckStatus() {
if (charge <=0) { IsDead = true; } } } 
this is a controller that uses a battery


package matthewsjavaapp;

/**
*
* @author Compaq_Owner
*/
public class Controller {
Battery batterypack = new Battery();
void play(int time){
   batterypack.drainby(time);
   System.out.println("Battery Level is now " + batterypack.charge);
   batterypack.CheckStatus();
   System.out.println("Battery is empty = " + batterypack.IsDead);
  
}
}

Half Life 2: Deathmatch

2008-07-03T07:43:00.000-07:00

What I like about this camp is the extensive training of the staff in Half Life 2: Deathmatch. They are skilled at using the rocket launchers, the crossbow and the gravity gun. This and their circle strafing make them very deadly. Guided missles are useful when you need to erase somebody in a inconvenient space. The gravity gun can pick up random objects and throw them at people. The crossbow is also one of the strongest weopons in the game, because you can snipe with it and make cheap shots with it.

Wonder Space

2008-07-03T07:26:00.002-07:00

When I first found out that I was going to Wonderspace, I thought that it was going to be a camp where all the Star Wars obsessives were. But on my first day, I immediately started liking it and realized that I would have fun here making games. And it has been so fun that I am already signing up for another week!!!
My game was about zombies invading the earth. You are Area 51's secret weapon ROBO576, and throughout my game you are shooting zombies and aliens. At the end you battle this humongous boss, a dragon zombie. Overall, I think my game is fun and I am extremely happy that I went to Wonder Space camp. Thank you Wonderspace!!!

Half Life2 DeathMatch

2008-07-03T07:26:00.001-07:00

Half Life 2 DeathMatch is a game entirely about stradgedy. You can change the whole game by putting on cheats. There is a selection of weapons including the rocket launcher, cross bow, magnum, shot gun, and much more. This is kind of random but there is also Half Life EPI. 1 and 2. The best level in Death Match is Overwatch. There are great hiding spots and barricades inside biuldings. In some secret areas there is ammo and health packets or other objects. Another good map is Runoff. You can set off nucleare missles, and if you are not in the biulding you will get destroyedby them.

Camp is Fun

2008-07-03T07:25:00.000-07:00

At camp I learned about Team Fortress 2. I learned about Heavys. They are slow and have high health and they have minigun. Demoman are one favorite avg health,avg speed andhave bombgun and other things there is only nine player which you play and you join the red or blue. You tried to get the other team's check points to win game.

I learned about Wikis I like them,there are pages that are false which are funny. I am Thomas I am in Cheney T. class which is game design B.

1st day at Wonderspace

2008-06-30T14:39:00.000-07:00

Today was a wonderful experience because we learned how to make a computer game. We loved picking out sounds for when the ball hit the bricks, sides, and the players paddle. It was amazing when we tested our game because we felt good to know that we could make a computer game . We also enjoyed how we could make the bricks disappear as the ball hit them.That is why today was a wonderful day.

My exciting day

2008-06-26T14:39:00.000-07:00

Today, I woke up. Then I went to Wonder-Space. Yaaaaaay! Then I had lunch, and went to the restroom.

VEX robotics

2008-06-26T12:16:00.000-07:00

Upgraded the VEX( a metal robot with a controller) to a super battle bot(it has a tipper on the side and a shearer on the other side, i also added a stabber and a poker on the front and back.) and then I watched Matthew(a friend in my class) play a little bit of Half Life.

I had a great time today learning about fps creator and computers. My counselor is so awesome he lets us play games and teaches us allot I'm also working on a awesome ww2 game. we make different levels and multiplayer maps so us and are friends can play together using fps creator

Wonder Space is Great!

2008-06-25T14:45:00.000-07:00

My stay at Wonder Space this summer has been some of the most fun I have ever had. Wonder Space has been a great place for me to learn about modern technology and create anything you want! I highly recommend this camp for anyone who wants to create games instead of play them over the summer!

Reed's Blog

2008-06-25T14:01:00.000-07:00

Today at camp (I am in Game Design B) I did many things. I helped others use Multi-media Fusion 2, edited my game and watched the dissection of a computer. I had a lot of fun. I transfered my files to another computer because the one I was using was very slow.

Robotics day 3

2008-06-25T13:44:00.000-07:00

By now you may have learned how to program the robot. With mind storm you would have learned how to make something happen when something else happens( making it say hello when you say something) And for VEX you would have learned how to control the robot. The consoler is really helpful. Your allowed to bring your robot from home, if you have one. You can play a P.C. game on the computer during lunch(12 to 1)and they have seminar at 3.

How to Pick a Quality Computer

2008-06-20T07:12:00.000-07:00

Hi, I'm Patrick, one of the members of this years Build a Computer class, and this is my guide to buying a quality computer that will not let you down in speed, capacity, power, and overall performance. Here are the steps:

1. Buy a Mac (What now, Cheney?)

If your intellect is below par, however, and you suffer separation anxiety from your beloved Windows OS, then the following guide will help you (because I guarantee you, if you use PCs, you do need a terrible amount of help) select the best PC you possibly can, which, I'm afraid, will still be horrible when compared to macs sheer elegance and simplicity of a Mac. These are the following categories one should look into when buying their "ideal PC"(despite the fact that PCs are far from ideal).
-Hard Disk Drive
The Hard Disk drive is an essential part of the PC. It stores the operating system, files, and virtually all memory that helps the PC run the way it does. Although the amount of memory in the hard disk drive is important, the amount of pins, and thus the speed, is of equal, if not more importance than the capacity. Look for the speed of the drive and the Capacity.
-Microprocessor
If the Microprocessor is the brain of the computer, than the saying "Two heads are better than one" rings true. Intel's Core Duo processor is a best buy for power and compatibility. Because it has a dual core, it acts as two processors, therefore allowing a dual core processor with a low speed to have a higher performance than a single core processor with a slightly faster speed. e.g.: The Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor T8300, with a clock speed of 2.40 GHz is more powerful than a single core processor with a clock speed of 3 GHz. Look for the Dual Core.
-Graphics card
It doesn't matter how fast the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) is if it has no place to store the images it creates. That is why when buying a good graphics card, Look for on-board Memory. (Also, look for quality, not quantity- one good, powerful graphics card is better than three weak ones)
-Ram
As with the Hard Drive, it does not matter how much information you can store if you cannot access it quickly. Look for Speed And Capacity.
-Disk Drive
Speed is also imporatant for the disk drive, but as for the model, the different types are not too important. As long as you find a good drive that can read and write disks, you're fine. If you want to go the extra mile, however, Find one that plays DVD and CD.
-Ports
Buy the most standardized ports (e.g. USB, Ethernet, etc.)
-OS
The different operating systems are designed for different usages, and depending on the work you want to pursue, research the pros and cons of each OS, Then decide. Some examples are Mac OS X, Windows Vista/XP, and Linux.

Modding Half-Life 2

2008-06-19T14:52:00.000-07:00

My name is Stefan D. and this is my second summer at Wonder-Space. Today, I have been working on my custom-built levels for Half-Life 2. I added more rooms to a map I've been working on since the start of the week. I also made another map which consists of a small, breakable house over a lake of radioactive waste. Of course, we also spent plenty of time play-testing each other's maps. Here are a couple screen shots. Enjoy!
