Assignment: Gaming Graphics Grid
Vocabulary:  Outsource, Compressed folder

• Mrs. Trollinger's Gaming class has outsourced their gaming graphics to us.  What does that mean?  It means we've been hired to create the sprites for their games!  
• During this assignment you will learn how to compress a folder and share it over the Internet.

1. Create assigned sprites and put them on a grid as you have before, with names.  You will have three empty squares at the bottom of your grid.
2. Upload the grid to your blog as "Outsourced Sprites"
3. Next, export each individual sprites to a folder labeled: yourlastname_sprites.
4. Right click on that folder and "compress."
5. Put that compressed folder in your Google Drive (or Dropbox folder. )
6. Figure out how to share that folder over the internet (you should be able to get a link.)
7. Create a link on your blog under your grid.  Your link should read like this:
   "If you would like to use my images, download the compressed file here."
8. Link the entire sentence to your compressed folder. (Look for the word "Link" right next to the button you would use to upload an image.)
9. Mrs. Trollinger's class will receive the links to your pages and will be able to choose whose images they want to use.
10. Images you need to create:  Pirate side view,  gold coins (pile), pirate chest, spitting llama (side view), marshmallow.
