Final Project Reflection

Final Project Link: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/23602921/

I really enjoyed this project and our time to learn Scratch. At first I was going to remix the fish game,but I wanted to challenge myself and test my Scratch ability so I started from scratch. For me the project was quite easy except for changing to the third level and incorporating broadcasting. With the levels my level change indicator was the color green so in order to change to each level I changed the shade of green each time.Also, broadcast was challenging as well. For the broadcast I tried different things until it worked which it did.To see if my game work I would play it each time I made a change.Overall,I enjoyed Scratch.

Final Scratch Project Prewrite

I am very excited to write the Scratch game. The purpose of my game is for the dog to reach the green door. As you pass, the levels become harder and more complex. While playing the game you have to avoid the red parts of the level. I believe this my be challenging, but I think I will be able to create a great game.

One debugging strategy my partner and I used was trying out what we thought we be right and if it was not we would experiment around with other scripts. I would help someone else with debugging by telling them to first view the code that is already presented to see if there are any errors. If there are no errors I would tell them to try code they are familiar with first and if that does not work I would tell them to try other script and experiment.

Try it Reflection

I enjoyed the try its as a was able to explore more about Scratch. I did try its 1, 5, and 6. For solving each puzzle I tried the blocks I was familiar with, but if they did not work I experimented with blocks I was unfamiliar with. Puzzle 6 helped me think about my game project because the dog and cat chased each other and I could possible build a game off of it.

Scratch Scene Reflection

Sprites and Stages are able to change when directed to do so. In a scene you are able to initialize sprites by using the  block that tells the sprite to change when the background does. Movies, television shows,and video games use scene changes as well. Mike changed the scene as the penguin talked about something else,

Scratch Broadcast Reflection

Broadcast on Scratch is a way to have two sprites interact and have a conversation. In a Scratch project you use timing to space out actions of the sprite or sprites. In order to make the conversation flow and seem life like between the two sprites it is better to use broadcast as opposed to waiting 2 seconds. Instead of the sprite waiting to respond after a certain amount of time you can use the block "When I receive this message" in order to have one sprite respond as the other sprite finishes talking. I enjoyed learning and trying out broadcast.

Make a Block Reflection

I enjoyed "Make a Block.""Make a Block" is a tool to organize your starch. To use "Make a Block"  you have to select the "More Blocks" and choose "Make a Block." First you name your block then you take your code and put it under the Block Definition to tell scratch what to do. One may use "Make a Block" when you are using multiple codes to stay organized.

Debug it Reflection

One debugging strategy that you used was trial and error. I found it easier to experiment and explore other codes as well. I would help someone else learning how to debug a project by encouraging them to do what I did and do trial and error to get a better feeling for Scratch.

Scratch 2 Reflection

The 10 block activity was very fun, yet a little bit challenging. The point was to make your sprite move with only 10 blocks. From this activity I learned how the different blocks worked. For example, I learned how the hide block gets rid of the sprite after the motions are completed. Also, I learned that you can make your sprites do many things with a limited number of blocks. The 10 block restraint impacted my ideas because I was not able to explore and use the different blocks that I wanted to. Also, the blocks gave very simple commands rather than more challenging ones.

SCRATCH 1 REFLECTION

I found nothing surprising with the activity. The step-by-step through the activity was very help because it taught me the basics to approach scratch and gave me a general idea how to use it. As a learner (with Scratch and beyond), I like having more structure at the beginning so I will understand how to use the program. I like having more freedom when I understand what to do. I feel most creative when I am designing my own scratch.

HTML Code Review

While doing Html I had a lot of problems. One problem was trying to move an image. Moving an image is very different than aligning text. Another problem I had was centering a list. Unfortunately, I was never able to figure out how to align the list.The third problem I had was changing link colors. At first I had no idea how to do this, but I was able to find a site that helped me.

When I was doing my Html I had many successes.One success was I was able to add special effects without any problem. The other success I had was installing links.

My favorite part of the project was being able to be creative and create our site how ever we wanted.
