Final Scratch Game

http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/43154606/
This is my final project for computer apps. Move the magic carpet with the arrow keys to collect all of the hippos, then catch the unicorn to get to the next level, while avoiding the dragons and ghouls, which take away points and teleport you back to start.

Scratch Conversations

We remixed a project by Ricarose called Penguin Jokes.  Here's my version.




The joke is from jokes4us.com. You would use Broadcast when you want to click on each sprite to have them do something. Timing is when you want the project to flow.

Scratch - Making Blocks

For this project, we had to experiment with making blocks.  Here is my project.

To make a block, you type in what you want the block to be called, and then you have to define it using other blocks. You would make a block in order to save space in the main section of blocks.

Scratch Debugging

Today, we worked on some debugging projects on Scratch. Here are my projects. Debugit 1.1 Press the green flag to make Scratch Cat and Gobo dance. Debugit 1.2 Press the green flag to make Scratch Cat move. Debugit 1.3 Press the space bar to make Scratch Cat do a flip. Debugit 1.4 Click on Scratch Cat to make him walk back and forth. Debugit 1.5 Click the green flag to make Scratch Cat say meow.

To debug these projects, I looked at the code and found out what was wrong with the original version's code. I then added or removed blocks until the code worked. I would help someone else to learn to code by teaching them the basics of Scratch, and then telling to use logic and common sense to debug it.

Scratch 10 Block Challenge

We did a 10 block challenge today on Scratch.  We could only use 10 certain blocks, and we had to use them all at least once.  Here is the result.

It was helpful in learning Scratch to have a creative project that wasn't too complicated.  The limited number of blocks available helped to keep the project simple.

Scratch Motion

We had to make another project to try out 3 different kinds of motion in Scratch.  Here is the project.
