Post about the games

Caitlyn had a word search game that was basically about softball. It was fun to look for because those were not words i would usually use in my daily conversations. She also had a hangman game that had to do with drinks which was fun and easy. her third game was about dogs which was very challenging for me because i don't know all of the dog breeds. Elijah's games where fun even if they weren't really about anything i would be interested in. One of the word searchers was about the NFL teams and his jigsaw picture was of a fighting looking thing.

Skytz


Skytz is a place where you can let your imagination flow. You can create whatever your heart desires. Skytz is a website where you can create your own animation with stick figures. You are capable of manipulating any part of their body to do anything you want them to do. You can make them walk, run, stand and jump. Basically they can do anything a real human can do. Creating a human is not the only thing you can do. You can also create cars or rocket ships. There is no limitation to what you can to on the Skytz website. Once you have created your stick figure you can make it do anything you want it to do. You can rotate, color, and scale it. You can make it look taller and bigger. You can make one of its arms longer or smaller then the other one and the same thing goes for the legs. There is nothing you can not do with your stick figure. You can modify the segments making its one arm move forward while its other arms is just staying there. This could give the figure the illusion that it is walking or moving its arms. When using Skytz you also have a lot of pros and one of these pros is that it allows you to work on multiple animations at the same time. This allows you to tranfer your stick figures from one animation to the other just by using copy and paste. You can save your Skytz with the Skytz file format which holds your animations as long as you need it to and nothing will ever change unless you change it. It will hold all your frames and not loose one. Back to creating your animation there is one thing that is really nice is that as you go on to other frames your stick figure will stay the same way it was in the previous frame. This means you do not have to double check if the stick figure is in the right place. You just have to continue where you left of at. If you would like to make figures do exactly what you want them to do then this  Skytz website is something for you. In my opinion doing a Skytz is a lot of fun when you have a lot of imagination and creating things does not seem difficult in your eyes. It gives you a chance to make stick figures or anything you pick do what you want them to do and nothing else. You can create the background and what is happening. Also if you like comics i think this is something for you because it basically is the same thing only its with stick figures. It is a lot of fun especially if you like something challenging and you have time do to whatever you want your figure to do. It also lets you see it on replay over and over again so you can change whatever you want. You can even change the speed if you want to so try it out and have fun. :)
