Kira's+Scratch+Journal

=Kira's Scratch Journal= 12/3/13 I'm going to do a university, it is going to have two different buildings for dorms and three as the departments of learning. It is going to have a sign in the front of the name of the university (unknown as of now) and the dorms are going to have windows and huge rooms. The departments of learning will be Science, Arithmetics, and Literature (may make more). If I were to make more departments of learning, it would be History (have yet to figure anything else). I'm going to make a main office building next to the departments of learning and the dorms. I might make a city next to the university if I have time. I plan on doing something government related. Like the different branches of government. I plan on make it so that when the sprite is touching another sprite, it will change the background and there may be and //**educational**// game along with each branch. I will have backgrounds with words that explain each branch and I may have questions at the end. I will need to make an introduction background which will lead to the "home screen" with the three different branches of government. Or I might pizazz up one of my old Scratch's. 10/29/13 My S3 project is simulative in the real world, you can learn about your weight on other planets. My science project accepts user input and uses it to accept the weight and transport it to the other planets to use the formula and find their weight. I feel that I have clear instructions, and my game is user-friendly. I think that my informative game has creativity but in my opinion, it wasn't enough. I have an okay quality of planets even though they are little dots, however, it does have clear instructions and I am using variables. 10/23/13 My S3 project is going great, I'm almost done and it has been fun knowing that someone in the same period is doing the same thing, which is weight on other planets. I think my project reaches the grading criteria because it can accurately simulates in the real world, accepts user-inputs and uses it, user-friendly with clear instruction (going to do some revising and touch-ups), it's creative and has a great quality of art.... so far. I think I am going to get a 95 at least because I am calculating their weight, putting mini-games to figure out their weight (some fun, some sort of mathematical). If I were to make any changes to my project so far, I would make i actually look realistic because the planets are actual dots so I may spice it up and detail it more.
 * Sketchup**
 * Mini-Scratch Project**
 * What is the purpose of your game? The purpose of my game is to show gravity and how high up you can go before dropping something, or I might do something with the gravity on other planets. ||  ||
 * Describe the target user for your game. My target user is someone who is interested in learning about gravity and someone who is interested in learning about planetary gravity. ||  ||
 * How many sprites will you need? I will need 1 sprite for this game but I might need a costume to go on different planets. ||  ||
 * How many backgrounds/stages will you need? I will need 8 backgrounds instructions, 6 planets, and a home page with all of the planets so you can choose where you want to go. ||  ||
 * How will users play your game? Users will play my game by clicking a planet they would like to go on and they will press a key and they will walk on that planet with the correct gravity that the planet has. ||  ||
 * How will users win your game? My game is informative so it will not be a game you will win. ||  ||
 * Will the game keep score? My game is informative so it will not be a game that will not keep score. ||  ||
 * How will you use music and/or sound effects to enhance your game? I might use music to enhance the depth of each planet and how dangerous it is. ||  ||
 * Layout your game sequence by [|creating][|a][|storyboard] . ||  ||

Today on Scratch I went and played a game called "Trig Art" it was about how 3 arms are in the center and you could adjust the coordinates on the top to make different shapes and make it look like it is in 3D I looked in the "inside" and it looked very difficult but I still want to learn how to do that type of art project. My project on Scratch is going to be an art kind of project where you can draw what you want and maybe stamp art also. So for the drawing part I'm going to put"when green flag pressed..." then you'll be able to draw with your arrow keys and be able to do stamp art using different keys to change the size, stamp, and background. So the stamps are going to be themed stamps; so say one of the backgrounds is the desert, then some of the stamps will be cacti or quads (four wheelers). Then with the drawing I was thinking about making the arrow keys be able to make the paint go up, down, left, and right like an Etch 'a' Sketch. However I was also thinking about making a game of what concept it is going to be I don't know yet but I do want to make a game that you can use either the arrow keys or the W,A.S and D keys, plus using the mouse to click on achievements to see what they get. So I guess that it will be a mix between a mario game and an adventure map with a monument that you can place your idols to win the game, and maybe some animations in the start of the game to show how the characters move or what the background of the game is to make this character feel this way. Today our Scratch Challenge was to find an app that is related to our scratch project, however, I almost found an app that was closely related to mine but in the end I could not find one. I did although find an app that was very cool and that I use on my phone, it is called Pic's Art, it is about how you can make collages, paint on photos and make different borders for that picture.

Scratch Test: 1) Amos would like his cat to rotate, however, Amos has script that says "when space key pressed" and four "turn 90 degrees to the right". Amos needs to add a "forever" script and he only needs one "turn 90 degrees to the right". 2) Stephanie would like her cat to get bigger when she presses the green flag, it works but when she presses the green flag again it doesn't work so she need to set a size and place she wants the cat to be so it would be the normal size of when it starts. 3) The problem with Mitch's script is that his cat dances after the music plays because he has the music playing first so he need to make the sound script into "play sound cave" instead of "play sound cave until done". 4) The problem with Karen's script is that the cat is moving left and right however the cat needs to say something depending whether it is on the right or the left so o fix that Karen need to keep everything she has and then instead of "if x position > 0" it needs to say "if x position >-1 say Right" and "if x position < -1 say Left". 5) For Todd's problem he just needs to put a 10 second what between broadcasting running and jumping.
