Games 4 Change challenge! - Jorge Carty Diaz

This was one of my best experiences because i got to make my first game prototype. I was excited because i want to be a game developer in the future and in this case, this game was develop for a competition citywide that Games for Change was organizing. I used GameMaker Studio 2 to create this. It was time consuming because i was learning GML which is a type of C++ but in GM's way. I had to watch tutorials about the language and how to create games before trying to create mine since i was introducing myself into a whole new world of possibilities. My topic was about Automated Communities 2050 and it had a simple concept. 

Game description:
The main character (you) is an inventor from 1990 and you're responsible for building the future technologically. Your decisions on things you want to invent will affect the future and the future ending in either a positive or negative way.

COMPARING THE DIFFERENT IMAGE FILE FORMATS by Jorge Carty Diaz

Image
1. Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) is a bitmap image that was created by US-based software writer Steve Willhite while working at the bulletin board service provider CompuServe on June 15, 1987 and now days is used by a lot of people for different purposes. 2. A raw file is the image as seen in the camera's sensor, this allows you to process the image to your liking. 3. Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) have two sub formats called JPG/Exif usually used by photographic equipment and JPG/JFIF are often used in the WWW. 4. Portable Network Graphics (PNG) is a raster graphics file format that supports lossless data compression and it was created as an improvement, non-patented replacement for GIF.

My experience in the Metropolitan Museum of Art

Image
This experience was great! I loved everything i saw in the museum but of course, there are some stuff that could have been better. Let's start with the negatives so we can finish up with the positives. One negative aspect about the trip was the waiting time outside. It really was a pain to have to wait for around 30-40 minutes outside in the rain. It really didn't feel good but i believe the staff was doing everything as fast as they could to get every single student inside the museum. In the museum i got to talk to many representatives of different programs around New York and they gave us stuff like posts its, pens, little notebooks, pins, stickers, etc. These programs offered many activities, some of them paid and some others free, and these programs were really interesting because one of them offered game development classes, others musical classes and more. I was surprised by the variety of stuff you were able to sign up for, and all of them were really nice and friendly.

Lab Quince | JS Drum Kit & Clock | Jorge Carty

In lab 15, I was required to create a website that allowed the user to play sounds from a drum kit using the keyboard, to be more exact, with keys like "A", "S", "D", "F", "G", "H", "J", "K", "L". Also, this lab has a clock that tells you the real-time and it's constantly updating. To develop this idea I had to design the clock and the drum kit in HTML and CSS, and add its functionality with JavaScript. For the drum kit, divs were made with specific data-keys and using audio tags that also react to data-keys which makes the sounds work, and the other makes the div get highlighted once you press a key in the drum kit. A function in JavaScript was also made in order to allow the user to spam the sounds, otherwise, the sound would play and the user would have to wait a couple of seconds to play it again. As for the Clock, it was made using divs and changing their form by modifying the radi
