LAST IDEA!

I have decided to make a simple game much like pacman but instead of cars. So this game would be some type of adventurre game with cars picking up things along the maze and as they pick up each item they can go to the next level. I have decided to choose a game like this as it seems easy, and i would use the Pacman example script to guide me along the actions.

Scratch Challenges

1. Script to make the srite glide along and when it touches the edge turn around.










Challenge 4. In this challenge wehad to make the bat fly in closer to the screen.
I did this by using 7 different types of costumes and editing them starting from small to big. I found this interesting and quite easy as i already learnt how to change, edit and copy costumes and make one shange to another. I couldnt do this challenge withour doing challenge # of course because that challenge teaches us how to animate a bat flying just normal. i found this really interest and quite easy. cause all i had to do was change costumes and etc.

STEP3 Scratch Examples

I have tried all these examples but unfortunately i havent saved any of them. i found them interesting as you can just make each sprite do whatever you want just by adding a few steps to the script. In these examples i learnt how to add a scoreboard, some moves and etc.
Some examples that I have already tried are
  • keep score- in this example we learn how to use a variable and keep a score through out the game.
  • Key moves- in this example we learnt how to use the arrow keys to move a sprite around the screen
  • Move to a beat- this example was when we learnt how to use the sound scripts
  • Change colour- this example was when i learnt how to change the colour of the sprite as you move the mouse along the screen.
  • Dance Twist- In this example i tried to make the sprite look like its dancing, but i didnt really put the music on as i dont know yet how.

Scratch Image Effect

Today i looked at this tutorial. I found it really interesting on how you can whirl a picture just by moving the mouse and changing the colour. I might use this when i start to make my game, so that it will look interesting.

Step3 Keep Score

This is an Activity to add our own scoreboard.
I just followed the steps and this is what i ended up with.
Some problems Im encountering are that the shark just suddenly goes back out of the screen.

Opening a door Flowchart

As you can see this my own flowchart. It looks a bit confusing as it is all not equal.
Ive also tried to make it as simple as possible

Sample Flow charts

 1. In this flowchart it is showing how to read a temperature and to tell whether they are cold or hot. As the temperature say < 32 this means that the tempearture is cold.
2. In this flowchart it is showing how a led light works as soon as you switch it on.

-oval:start and end; on in
- diamond: decisions or branches
- rectangles: action boxes; one in one out
 -arrow: indicate proccess direction.
