Overall Scratch

Overall the Scratch program is interesting to use but if i found it outside of school and tyhe IST classroom i would not use it because it doesn't have any use in everyday living or social websites like facebook or myspace. it is very east to use after you understand how to move each character or sprite, even how to change costumes so it looks like they are movine and so forth. In my opinion the backgrounds are very pretty and nice but they dont really go with some of the sprites. This is because most of the sprties are cartoons and the backgrounds are usually photos of real places. although i found the program very interesting, though i do not know how to make a game using sprite.

Follow the Mouse

For this task i had to make the sprite move by following the mouse and where it is by the points that the program is given by where my mouse is at the time.

GLIDE GLIDE!

In this task, i had to make my sprite glide without using my mouse on the desktop to tell the sprite where to move by telling the computer/program the points where i want the sprite to be.

SAY SOMETHING!!


This tutorial i have made one of my sprite communicate with my other sprite. i've choseen the ghost to scream "Boo!" to the other creature .

moving animation


OK so this tutorial is letting the sprite move in a different area so to speak, because the other sprite (my bat one) only is flapping while this bird that i've done is not only flapping but moving left to right and back and so forth. i had trouble because when it bounced on the edge the bird flipped 180 degrees.

Challenge 1


Challenge 1 requires me to make a sprite go to the edge and then change directions when it hits the edge of the screen. I've personally chosen a bus with the background of the moon to make the sprite more interesting to look at =D. I hope you enjoy.

Scratch - Dance-Twist


Dance-Twist, it doesn't look that interesting, but it took me a while to find the right sound to go with the rhythm of the movement of the dancer-character. It is trail an error with the timing before you can get it right, and also this sprite character has a background. I still need to see how to add the background after making the sprite, because the only way that I know is though deleting the sprite in the beginning and adding the background when the tab " costume" changes to "background".
p.s Sprite is the name of the characters and images on the Scratch Program

Scratch - Animate It!


In this tutorial, it teaches the user to "animate" their character/image by changing the costume that the user has chosen ( usually it has most aspects the same as the original image that the user has chosen the first time).

Scratch - Move to a Beat


The original plan was just to move the character to the beat but i also have changed the colour of the character whenever the character moves. This was an interesting tutorial.

Scratch - change colour~


What i've learn from this is that i can change colours of my character by changing the number next to the words " effected by" on the purple tab in the second column.
