I think my scratch science game came out alright. It could have been better, like Kira's, but I wasn't giving it my all. I wish I had decided to us different backgrounds and made the planets a little bit better. But, otherwise, I think my game came out fine. I like it, it could have been worse. I used variables, I used 12 of sprites, it was interactive, and I used a lot of scripts, and it simulated the real world.
 * Self-Evaluation: Use the grading criteria to reflect on the quality of your Science Scratch (50 points) **


 * Write a progress report on your S ** 3 ** Project. How well is it addressing the scoring criteria? What grade would it get? What would you need to do to make it better? **
 * I think my game could have come out a little better, like Kira's game, but I am pretty satisfied with my game. I think it will get an 80-85 out of 100. I think if I had, like I had originally planned, made the greeting character ask the player to click a planet, then ask their weight, it would have been better. I think my game accurately simulates the real world, because it accurately tells you your weight on different planets. My game does accept user input, and uses it to tell the player their weight for the planet that is being used. My game, also, gives clear instructions on how the game works. I believe my games creativity is pretty good, the planets are realistic, the background is pretty, and it all fits. **

1) If 90 degrees is ¼ of a circle, and you have 4 blocks that make the sprite turn 90 degrees that means the sprite is moving in a complete circle. The reason it looks like it isn’t working is because it is moving too fast for the eye to see, and is landing in the same spot, making it seem like it hasn’t moved. 2) She needs to add a block that says, “When green flag clicked,” and connect it to a block that says, “Go to (the coordinates in the middle of the screen,” so that when she clicks the flag it starts were it was in the beginning.  3) ??? 4) ??? 5) It isn’t doing it how he wants it to because he is broadcasting it to jump and run at the same time. He needs to add a, “Wait 10 seconds,” block, so that the sprite jumps, waits 10 seconds, and then runs.

For my science game I am making a game that you can find out your weight on other worlds, moons, ect. You will be asked your name, then your weight, and what planet, moon, ect. you want and you will be told your weight there. Then, you can pick another lace to be and see your weight there, and for each place you pick the screen changes.

1. What is the purpose of your game? 2. Describe the target user for your game? 3. How many sprites will you need? 4. How many backgrounds/stages will you need? 5. How will users play your game? 6. How will users win on your game? 7. Will your game keep score? 8. How will you use music and/or sound effects to enhance your game? 9. What are the variables in your project?

1. To show players what they weigh on planets in our solar system. 2. My target user is anyone who enjoys astronomy and wishes to know their weight on planets in our solar system. 3. I will need 12 sprites!! I will need 12 because I have all the planets in the solar system, the sun, and the Earth's moon, and Planet-Bob!! 4. I will only need 1 background. 5. They will enter their weight and learn how to calculate their weight on other planets. 6. They do not win in my game. 7. The game will not keep score. 8. I will not use sounds or music. 9. The variables will be your weight.

I looked through the different types of games. Such as art, music/inspired by songs, dancing, and stories. I really liked this game because it tripped me out a lot. I liked how the colors changed and how you can make the lights swirl or go straight, change the lighting, and change the direction. I really enjoyed how the game was very interactive. I enjoyed looking inside the games like Neon Snake, where you control where and when the character moves and what it does. It was fun looking at the different type of games!

I will make a maze game!! You will be a car and have to try to get past the exit with the fastest time possible!! There will be different levels. And, different cars!

I found a game like my Car Maze on Google Play App Store, I found a game called Car Maze Race. I also found one game I liked called Super Race Cars!!! I like it because the cars look really cool and the game just looks fun!
