Final Reflection

http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/23685522/#editor I started by making the dragon interact with the apples using the color sensing commands. The dragon changes costumes when it receives the apples. In order to work through the problems I would constantly test it to see what works. If something didn't work I would put it in a different part of the project. I tested it by making sure the score went up when the dragon gets the apples. Once it reached a certain point the level changes to a new back drop. The process was very time consuming but you eventually are able to make everything work at the end.

Scratch Game

My game that I will create will be a dragon that collects apples and each time he get an apple you get a point and he breathes fire. The backdrop will change for each level. I had problems with the dragon not sensing the apples but I figured it out by clicking on the sprites to change the color. I have also had issues with transitioning the back drops.

Fish Chomp Game

http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/23594388/ A variable is a if then statement that you plug into the computer. You tell the computer if you do one thing then something else will happen. An example of a variable would be the score or the time left in the game. You can plug these variables into the if then statement.

Debug it # 2

Sometimes you have to rearrange the blocks in a specific order to get it to work. Troubleshooting is your best option because by adding things you will eventually solve the problem.

Interactions in Scratch

http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/23441692/#editor http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/23441898/#editor http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/23442106/#editor I worked on 2,3 and 5 on the workbook because I thought they were the easiest to solve. My strategy was to use the if then command a lot and it worked. Number 5 was the most useful one I thought because I figured out how to use the if then command by putting a sensing block in the if then command.

Scenes in Scratch

http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/23392528/#editor They are similar because you can put sound in stages but you can't use motion. To initialize you have to use the switch stage command button. To create a game you would have to use stage changes. They used backdrops to transition to different stages.

Conversations on Scratch

http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/23131437/#editor http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/23245970/#editor Broadcasting in Scratch can be a difficult feature to master because you have to time it well so that the conversation is life like.You have to use the wait command a lot to space out the conversation so it looks like they have time to think before they talk. You would have to use timing when you have a conversation in your project so that it looks realistic. You would use broadcasting whenever there is dialogue in the project amongst people in your project.
