Immigration to the United States Map

I found this map interesting. In a way it works like the map we did this week, although the checkboxes are a bit different. 

Lab #4

Here is my fourth lab. It was fun but long. I don't quite like the fact that when it first loads up, you have to uncheck all the boxes to get an empty map. And I can't figure out what I did wrong! Overall this lab took a long time to do and was sometimes pretty frustrating. 

I chose Republican party and wanted to do a more historical map for a learning experience. 

GMU interactive map

I really like this map of the Fairfax campus. It has made my life so much easier this semester! The red color is very effective on the otherwise green map and it's nice that you can click on most of the buildings. They even put the clock and the George Mason statue in there!  

Lab #3

Woohoo! This LAB is finished already and I'm pretty happy with it! Downloaded the 30-day trial from Adobe so I was finally able to work on this from home. Changed the colors and fixed some weird things from the previous version. Used only one sound for all the functions, the beep was my favorite. This lab was actually fun! And no, I'm not being sarcastic. I finally figured out how to use Flash.. That helped quite a bit! Though I'm still figuring out the drawing stuff, I learned how to have round edges on a box but then couldn't do it again. Hmm.. Anyway, I think I'm missing a game but noticed that only in the end. Another great side to this lab? Now I know something (just a teeny tiny bit) about football.

Lab#2

So here is my second lab. I ran out of time (as always) so the graphics stink. Figuring out how to use Flash and add buttons etc. took so long that I did not have time to concentrate on the colors and other visuals. Oh well, at least it works! I had an extra timeframe in the end so I ended up doing "the end". Could've just deleted it but... Uploading to my mason web page was easy once I located the password I used for uploading stuff a year ago. Maybe I'll work on this some more if I ever find the time.

Simple Map Animation

I found this simple map animation online.  It keep replaying itself and is very simple in its graphics. I guess it would be more like a flip book. The idea is interesting and could be developed into a more complicated animation.
