Alex Computer Club

I made a game in computer club, click on the link above to play.

sorry for the long and winding title, just to make things clear and detailed

as we all know, last week we didn’t meet up for computer club, so yesterday was our fourth meeting.
since it’s the day before funday, we decided to have some fun.

we borrowed some broomsticks from 6th years and played with some video graphics with the green screen.
and of course, we have loads of fun.

but at the same time, we did not forget our project on making games and apps for iPad or iPhone (well at least i didn’t, not too sure about the others )

so, join us, and share the fun.

What we did this week:

• Stefanie tries out her Wacom Graphics Tablet

• The girls experiment with Mr Redmond’s iPad

• Kate, Zoe, Sadbh B and Sadhbh SD create new projects on Game Salad

• Kirsten works on a Transition Year IT Lesson podcast

• Ana learns more about fixing the bugs in Game Salad

Exciting news – Computer Club is welcoming three new members; Kate Campbell, Sadbh Byrne and Kirsten Levermore all joined us this week, to participate as new members.   We hope they enjoy their time in Computer Club and we look forward to seeing some of their projects over the coming year!

So, this week we finished our little video (which you can check out in the post below), and we also started to work with a program called GameSalad, we are going to create some apps and hopefully you’ll be able to download them or just have some fun here in our blog!

Also, we had some new member this week and to make things even better, we got free chocolate too!! Anyway, I don’t know about you, but creating apps, having lots of fun and getting free chocolate seems to be a really good deal to me, so if I were you I would definitely go to computer club every Wednesday after school.

See you there!!

Okay! So today we had the honor of downloading and using the program, Xtranormal.

Xtranormal is a program where you can make an animated short film. We messed around with it for a while and we then decided what we would be doing for this year.

This year we shall be learning programming concepts and making an iPad app.

The first meeting of the Computer Club this year will take place in Room 52, 4.15 – 5.00 pm, next Thursday, September 23rd.  This year we are focusing on game and app design.  One of our main goals will be to design and develop an iPhone/iPad App for the College.

Everyone is welcome so please come along.
