Scratch: Underwater Adventure

I began the layout of my game by first drawing the background. This allowed me to visualize my game much better. One problem that I had was changing levels. I solved this problem by creating a sprite as the finish line so that it could have its own controls. I tested my game by playing it and seeing what worked and what did not. In the end my game ended up as I intended but I did encounter a number of problems while making it. I am very proud that my game looks like a real computer game and how I was able to solve problems.

Scratch: Planning My Game

I am planning to do a maze. It will be underwater theme so I will use a fish sprite for the character. The background will be blue for the water with green blocks for seaweed. The goal is to move from start to finish and avoid the angry fish. When you reach the finish you go to the next level and the difficult will progress. I will have three levels.

Scratch: Viewing other Alphabet Games

Khaleia's game was similar to my game. When the letter key was clicked the letter changed into an object and said what the letter stands for. For example "a is for apple". My game was just like this except I programmed the letters to change when the sprite was clicked not when the key was pressed.

Kara's game was also similar to mine and Khaleia's. When the key was clicked the letter would change into an animal and say what the letter stands for. Kara's game was different then mine because her letters moved and were not just lined up in a row but were in an interesting pattern.

Scratch: Backdrops

The Stage can change just like the sprites can change. To initialize a sprite in a scene you set an event button, such as "when green flag is clicked". You could use scene changes for any movie. People use backdrops to change between scenes.

Scratch: Conversations

A broadcast allows you to create conversations with logical timing. You would use "timing" in a project for things such an action. You would use "broadcasting" with a conversation.

Scratch: Characters

Make a block is a way to create your own sequence of actions. oiu would use "make a block" if you were going to make a very long sequence of actions because "make a block" allows you to put all that information into one block

Scratch: Reflection to Debugging

One debugging strategy I used was experimenting with different blocks to see how they changed the project and tried to find what blocks would fix the projects. I would help someone else learn how to debug by showing them how the different blocks change the project.

scratch 2 10 Block challenge

This activity helped me learn scratch because I was able to create something that was my own but I had some guidance. The 10 Block didn't really restraint my ideas because what I had in mind only incorporated a mixture of the 10 Blocks.

Scratch Try it

We started learning about scratch.
Reflection...
It was surprising how little the character moved, you had to have a very high number to make it move far.
It was very helpful to be led through the activity step by step.
I think that we had a good amount of structure while learning how to work scratch.
I would like to have more freedom when we are making our own projects.
I feel very creative when we get to create our own projects from scratch

HTML Intro

Today we were introduced to HTML

Using a classmates Binary Code

I liked Evans code. He use # as 1's and % as 0"s. Here is a sentence using this code...

#%#%% %#%%% %#%%# #%% #%%##    %%%## %#### %%#%% %%#%#    %#%%# #%%##
#%%#% %%#%# %%%%# %##%% %##%% ##%%#    %%%## %#### %#### %##%% .

It says This code is really cool.
