my game

My game would be sorta like call of duty. your stuck in the jungle with an ak and a pistol with enemys all around you. you will have to fight off enemys and sneak by guards in this game. the sprites are you and two of your other teammates, they will follow you wherever you go. you can also give them commands like breach, attack, sneak and etc. there will also be juggernaut enemies that will be coming at you full speed. this game is for ages 14 and up. it is availible for xbox and ps3. my main reason for designing this game is to have a better version of call of duty without any disappointments

game post

In fancy pants world 2 the sprites is fancy who is a stick figure who wears fancy pants, and the objects is the spiders snails and the evil rabbit. the object of this game is to get to the end of the level. in call of duty modern warfare 2, the sprites are the characters you are and your teammates, and the objects are the guys in the opposite uniforms as you. the object of the game is to kill all of the people and complete the objective

acronyms

an acronymn is- a shorted form of a word
10 examples of acronymns are-
lol- laugh out loud
rofl- rolling on floor laughing
g2g- got to go
brb- bath room break
nm- nothing much
wbu- what about you
u- you
b4- before
bcnu- be seeing you
iuc- i understand completly

ettiquette

an AUP is. acceptable use policy- a set of rules and protocol in a buisness or workplace.
when they first give you your laptop at school you have to sign an aup to agree to not to damage the laptop, some examples are damging the laptop, downloading stuff on it, getting on websites you shouldn't be on, hacking into the schools server and what not,pretty much doing anything that would harm the laptop and making it break.

Like in a job place you would probably sign an aup so you would not do stuff that your not supposed to be doing like checking email and etc.
aup's are necessary so that that the job or schools stuff does not get damaged or makes you do your job to the best of your ability.
for instance if i was the boss of an organization i would probably let my employers do whatever they wanted inside the boundries as long as they get their work done

internet etiquette- is pretty much the way you conduct yourself on the internet
netiquette is a combination of internet etiquette. behave as though you are communicating in person. also shouting online is considered rude. and do not flame other people, do not send spam, do not distribute copyrighted material, do not be a coward and remember that your words are open to interpretation.

if an isp collects enough complaints about an account holder, it can cancel that persons account, or they may turn the poster over to the authorities

i think netiquette is important because if it wasn't there then the computer world would be a big mess and no body would want to get on it
