Stykz+and+Legos


 * __// My partner and I worked on Stykz for two days, and Legos for five days. //__**

__** Explain what you did for your Stykz project: **__ For our Stykz project we took the theme of gymnastics and made a funny project. First, we made a guy to a cartwheel. Then two other people do their splits and other gynastivs moves. Later on, we have the exercising theme. First, a guy does multiple jumping jacks, and another guy runs through the screen running.

** __What did you like about Stykz?__ ** I really enjoyed a lot about Stykz. My favorite part was it was easy to use. I also liked the fact that you can make a mini movie in seconds and you can do it easily. Stykz was lastly fun for me because you can have various people doing different acts all at the same time.

** What did you not like about Stykz? ** The thing I didn't like about Stykz was when you wanted to move a part of the stick person's body you has to click "next frame" which was annoying to do every time you wanted to move it. Another thing I didn't like about Stykz was when you wanted to make a move look realistic, you would have to move the body part a little bit at a timee which took forever. However, if you didn't move it a little bit at a time it would look really choppy and unrealistic when you played it.

** Would you like to use Stykz again? ** Yes, i think it would be great to use Stykz again because you get the opportunity to make a great mini movie.

** Explain what you created for your Lego project? **  For our Lego project we built a patriotic house. Its walls are red, white, and blue. Most of the furniture is colored red, white, and blue as well. we also have a garden and gates in the front of the house. Be sure to see the house from the top view because that way you can see the stairs we built. We worked really hard on this considering virtual legos are a little hard to work with.

** What did you like about Legos? ** Legos were not the most best, but there were some things I liked about them. One thing I liked about legos was their were a great variety of lego sizes. I also liked the fact that there were already made models to give you idea of how to start your project. The last fun thing about legos was they had already made flowers and stems which makes life a lot easier.

** What did you not like about Legos? ** The main thing that I did not like about legos was that it was a little hard to work with. When you wanted to place brick somewhere, you had to have the mouse on the perfect spot of the screen to get it right where you want to and that was a bit complicated. i also didn't like the fact that when you want to extend a brick a little more, it was impossible to because you had to keep adding more bricks to make it longer. Next, there weren't many colors of bricks like they didn't even have brown. Well, I think it was brown. The last thing is that the people were ugly and didn't have a variety of clothes. I personally didn't like legos to much, but I guess they were kind of fun.

** Would you like to use Legos again? ** I might use legos again, but then again it depends if I have another virtual Legos program that is a little easier to use.

** Did you like Stykz or Legos better? Explain. ** I personally liked Stykz a little better than Legos because it was easier to use. Legos wasn't bad, but I think it requires you to use your brain more which most people in Tech 1 don't like to do, but I could live with it. I don't know though because they were both the same.
