Allison's Scratch Journal = = = =  My City My city will have an apartment, a school, a cake truck, a staples, a mall, and a bank. I will add more buildings as i start building my city. The apartment will be next to school and staples. The cake truck will always be parked in an empty parking lot across from the school. The mall will be two blocks away from the school, taking up most of the blocks space but leaving room for a few houses. the bank will be a big bank. It will take up half of a block and the parking lot will take up the other half. any open spaces i see i will add some more stores, some rivers/lakes leading out to an ocean, or some houses. I might add another apartment structure somewhere. Scratch Mini For my mini scratch project i will make a bored game a computer game. The bored game i will be making a computer game is chutes and ladders. I will have to make a dice so it rolls randomly when clicked. I will have to make some ladders and snakes for the characters to climb and slide down. The game will be able to play up to four characters and if someone wins the background will change to say congrats or you win to the winner. The characters will be two girls and two boys. Since this is a MINI scratch project instead of 100 spaces i will do 80-85 spaces. Any one in any age group can play this game. If the character lands on the bottom of a ladder it will go up and if the character lands on the bottom of the snake it will move down. Self Evaluation My game teaches people about pressure. It accepts user-input and with that input, it changes the pressure, force, and area. My game is user-friendly and any one can play this game. It has clear instructions. In my open it is not very creative. All it is is a couple of backgrounds and a character. The variables i used are pressure, force, and area. To play my science game you tell Biane Kane what you want the force and area to be and he uses those numbers to calculate the pressure.

Science Scratch Progress Report My scratch game isn't going so well because each time I save it then open it again, when i switch to Biane Kane(my person) all of the ask commands are gone and the answer variable says obsolete!. Other than that my simulation accepts user input and uses it. It has clear instructions and it is very creative. The balloon is two colors, pink and green, and the winning balloon has a smiley face while the game over balloon has the words Game Over under it. I think my simulation accurately simulates the real world because it shows what happens when you add air to a balloon.

Amos wants his cat to rotate when he presses the space bar. But the cat isn’t moving! What’s going on? He needs to add ‘move 10 steps’ between the turn -> 90 degrees.
 * BUG #1 **


 * BUG #2 **

Stephanie wants the cat to start in the middle of the stage, then move across the stage and grow. It works the first time she clicks the green flag – but not when she clicks it again! What’s going on? After the ‘when green flag clicked’ you need to put a ‘go to x:0 y:0.


 * BUG #3 **

Mitch wants his cat to dance to some music. But the cat is dancing after the music is over! What’s going on?

He needs to put the ‘play sound Cave until done in the repeat thing.


 * BUG #4 **

Karen wants to control the cat’s x-position with the keyboard: right arrow moves the cat right, left arrow moves the cat left. She also wants the cat to say if it’s on the right side or the left side depending on its x-position. The cat’s moving, but not saying its position correctly! What’s going on? Were it says ‘when green flag clicked’ if x position >0 say Right side! else say Left side! she needs to one that just say if and put if x position > 0 say Right side! and get one for the left side and say if x position < 0 say Left side!.


 * BUG #5 **

Todd wants his cat to jump up and down, and then move across the screen. But the cat’s hopping across the screen! What’s going on? I do not know what he needs to do.

What is the purpose of your game? To show people how pressure works. Describe the target user for your game. Anyone can play. How many sprites will you need? I will need 3-4 sprites. How many backgrounds/stages will you need? I will need 1 backgrounds/stages. How will users play your game? They will play my game by using the mouse to pump up a balloon. If they pump it up to much it will pop and if they don't pump it up large enough it will deflate. If they pump it up just right then a face will appear on the balloon and say "That is how pressure works". How will users win your game? They will win by pumping up the balloon just right. Will the game keep score? The game will not keep score. It will say Game Over if you pump it up to much or don't pump it up large enough and it will say YOU WIN if you pump it up just right. How will you use music and/or sound effects to enhance your game? I will have music playing while they are playing the game. What are the variables in your project? I have a variable called size. = = =I explored the Piano Hands on Scratch. The link is [|Piano hands]. The piano has 13 different keys to use and when i clicked see inside I saw two backdrops, 10 sprites, and a meow sound. The keys looked easy to make. all you have to do is make the key and when it is clicked have it make the sound you want it to make. When you play the game there is a cat at the top of the piano running back and forth. =

I will make an art game. You can type your own name in this game. The letters will be different colors. The colors are orange, red, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple. To clear the field you press the up button. It will have a CRAZY background.

An app i found that is like my game is Tripping Fest Lite Drawing. An app I think is cool is Place 'n' Shape.
