For our next assignment we are going to have to make an interactive youtube game, at this stage we are just researching to see what they are like and to gather ideas.

This link is to an interactive xylophone, when you click the notes the video skips to a certain part that plays the sound, the video is paused so it doesnt end and just keeps skipping to each note the viewer clicks.

Web Protocols
HTTP Stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol, The HTTP protocol is the system that browsers use to talk to web servers. HTTP defines how messages are formatted and transmitted, and what actions web servers and browsers should take in response to various commands. heres an example, when you enter a URL in your browser, this actually sends an HTTP command to the Web server directing it to fetch and transmit the requested Website.
These are HTML code <html> </html><head></head> <title></title> <body></body> they are normally reffered to as tags, these tags are used to define certain areas of a webpage, tags are usually enclosed in less than < & > brackets. I have used these tags in a previous project, the tags I used were <title>The Mechanic</title> will cause the title ‘The Mechanic’ to be visible in the title bar of the user’s browser, the name in the title bar was 'The Mechanic'. <Font> Sets font style size and color. <Textarea> Creates a text box.
The TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) provides reliable, ordered delivery of a stream of bytes from a program on one computer to another program on another computer. TCP is the protocol that major Internet applications rely on, applications such as the World Wide Web, e mail, and file transfer. Other applications, which do not require reliable data stream service, may use the User Datagram Protocol, which provides a datagram service that emphasizes reduced latency over reliability. TCP provides a point to point channel for applications that require reliable communications.
When an application program desires to send a large chunk of data across the Internet using IP, instead of breaking the data into IP-sized pieces and issuing a series of IP requests, the software can issue a single request to TCP and let TCP handle the IP details. which is why the internet protocol suite is commonly referred to as TCP/IP. The File Transfer Protocol and Telnet are all examples of applications that require a reliable communication channel. TCP provides a communication service at an intermediate level between an application program and the Internet Protocol.
File Transfer Protocol is a standard network protocol used to transfer files from one host to another over a TCP-based network, such as the Internet. FTP users may authenticate themselves using a clear text sign in protocol but can connect anonymously if the server is configured to allow it.

Website Game
This is the game on my Mechanic website, It includes SoundFX, Flash Animation, Buttons inside Movieclips and the mouse is a sight for a gun which you use to shoot the game. It isnt that great and I've had feedback that its boring but I didnt have the knowledge of how what to add onto it at the time in order to make the game more interesting.
 |
| Start Page to my Game, Instructions and a Quit Button. |
 |
| Game Features without the mouse scope. |
 |
| Game with the scope as the mouse. |

Winning game screen, options to play again or go back to the home page. |
Website Mockups
I have been doing mock-ups of my website because my preproduction files werent up to scratch, I got my marks for my website today and recieved a Pass overall but Merits (and possibly a distinction) in each section of the grade criteria. Once I have completed the mockups It should bump my grade up to a Merit overall which I will be happy with.

My Feedback to the Website Comments

The mechanic website has loads of very good features, and lots of images and content from the film which is good. the game is good but needs a bit more work and it will be graet
also the problems with the pictures poping up over the text you fixed which was a massive improvement to the site and overall a very good site and a nice amount of infomation a techniques
I agree that my game needed more work and If I had more time on this assignment that is one of the things I would of focused on more than anything else. Thank you for commenting on my website in a positive way.

The page i thing is very good. the one problem with it was that the game, even though it was good, had a few problems, one which was that the people didn't move, and the fact that you didn't have any kind of challenge to it. The lay out to the page was good though especially when the mouse moved over the menu it came up with a different weapon used.
The game did need some more animation, all of the characters that you were ment to shoot didnt move they just died and dissapeared when killed, also there was no challenge to complete the game, I needed to add a score bar or time limit to make it more interesting and add different functions so that, maybe the player could change weapon. Thank you for commenting on my website.

i liked the creative ideas in your website as you tried quite a few different things like the smoking car and a game. its forfilled its purpose to be an interactive website as it had many buttons with creative and different hoverover buttons. i havnt seen this film but after viewing your website i would quite like too. only issue i encountered even though it was a good idea i didnt like the game.
The game did need some more work on it, This seems to be one of the main problems with my website, The game is boring and has no functions I think it could have been made more features for the game to have but the website itself functioned perfectly, Thank you for commenting on my website.

I think that your website was creative, it included a game which we wasn't asked to do which i I thought was a great addition, I also loved the page where the car had the smoke coming out the engine, looked very professional. Very good site.
Thank you, the game was a nice little addition to the site but it needed to be slightly more advanced.
For my website as a whole I think the main problem was the game wasnt good enough, It needed some more effects or features to give the game a challenge, As it is now the game is simple and easy to complete, just a simple click and shoot game. Apart from the websites game I feel it is perfectly functioning and easy to navigate around, it has a good use of XML and Media and has checked off everything from the brief apart from the download so it definately worthy of a pass at least.
