ABC 2 other students

Like mine,  Megan's game consisted of the letters corresponding to animals, however her's went in order but mine jumped around a little. Jaime also had her alphabet jump around, very similarly to mine, and she also used letters with corresponding animals.

Final Project- Final Reflection

I began the layout of the game with sprites lined up, each going a different speed up and down the screen, each giving scratch cat (the main character in the game) different amounts of points. At the far side of the screen from where the sprite started is another sprite that would lead into the next level, in which all the sprites besides scratch cat switch costumes to something more fitting to the background. To work through the problems, I searched games and found one similar to mine and looked at the scripts to see what I was doing wrong, and when I found the solution I immediately applied it to my own game. I tested my game by starting from the beginning and making sure the scoring and actions worked, and then reset it, and it worked exactly as I intended it to. In my game, I am most proud of the way the characters and backgrounds make sense together (the crabs and the beach, the fish and the ocean). I am however disappointed that there is no way I am aware of to make everything go back to it's starting place once the game is finished.

Scratch Final Project- Part 1

For the final project, I am planning to do a 2- level game. In the first level, I have an underwater background where scratch cat lost his sunglasses and has to dodge fish to get them back. The fish will be forming a sort of maze/challenge, because I intend to have them each on different parts of the screen going at different paces, with 2 5 point penalties and a 10 point penalty. After the third fish and before the sunglasses, there will be a rapidly moving sprite that will have all the points taken away from hitting the fish, which are points you'll need to complete the level.

When the sunglasses are touched, it'll switch to the next level which will be a beach scene where scratch cat lost his ball, and has to get to it without touching the crabs. The same method will be used, as in the crabs will have penalties  that can be replenished with a hard-to-get sprite. Once the ball is reached, the game will be over.

Scenes Reflect

The stage/ background is the are where the sprite is shown doing a certain activity, in my case it was a polar bear playing on a play ground and sharing thoughts as he did it. Both actions were possible with the use of commands in the sprite's script. Since there are limited numbers of backgrounds, me and someone else having the same background was bound to happen.

Make A Block Reflection

http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/41907132/

To describe this challenge to someone else, I would tell them to just watch the video because in all honesty I wouldn't even know where to start. You might use make a block in another class where a teacher wants you to use scratch, or even in your own leisure time if that's the kind of thing you're interested in.
