assignment. day one

okay. im still thinking. still not sure what game to make for my assignment. so many ideas, are they possible. i guess they are. ive got to know what im doing and be confidient with it? ;) haha. i was thinking of doing snakes. but someone in our class is already doing that so i was thinking maybe to change it a bit? okaay! yaay. i just thought of a great idea. it all started with a butterfly. that just gave me the idea and that is to make it in the sky. so u have a sprite that flies in the sky and tries to dodge obsticles, and also tries to gain points by getting certain objects and food etc? still working on that idea, it is a working progress but i think its a pretty good idea right? :) im pretty proud of it! :D

yaay. so i have my plan and what im going to do. i just need to know how to do it and getting started. i no im going to use the mouse, this will be the movement of the sprite. instead of using the keyboard, there will be a point system, i think the game should count down, the more points you get the better? it seems fun right? yaay. now im kind of excited to get started! :)

last but not least.

and finally. i only have two more tutorials or challenges to finish my 10. and then i can get started on my assignment. its so true what sir said, these challenges and tutorials really do help you understand and get a better feel of the program scratch and how to use it to the best of your ability. by doing most of these tasks i have gotten more ideas of games i could make, depening on how well i understand the controls and direction the game is heading in. i think ive now got a pretty good idea of how to create a game or even make different sprites complete different taks and so on. okay then. now that thats done i should complete those last two tasks. im not sure which ones to do as they are getting bigger and bigger to do. --' i will try to do one long one, i know it would help me but im trying to complete the easier ones :) haha.

challenge 7.

in this challenge you use a sprite to count how many times you click on it. you have to create a variable, that will count the number of times the sprite is clicked. then you must make it start again at zero everytime you press the flag, signalising a new game. there was another part to it but i didnt quite understannd it so i moved on to make sure i got all my work done :)

one more tutorial to go and im done.

FINALLY! last one and im done! :)
im not sure if i did the colour one already? the one where you move the sprite and it changes colour? i played around with it before, i remeber. haha it was pretty fun :) but im not sure if i posted about it. so i will now, and that shall conclude my mission? haha. in finishing my 10!
to change the colour of a sprite you have to make it, either when you press a certain key on the keyboard or the mouse that will make the cooour change. one way i did it was to change the costume, like colour the car for example in another colour to make sure it changes and is the same sprite. then you have to make sure it changes back to the colours wanted and the amout of steps and etc. haha. i think you've got the basics right? im just eager to start on my assignment today. still planning :)

thanks

and another challenge.. and tutorial

ohh. today im not so much in the working mood. im pretty tired but then again these days, who isnt. sir just said it looks like so many in this class are so sleepy --'

oh well. im still going to try my best to get as many challenges and tutorials done as possible. sabine is still not here, so i have no distractions.

so i guess i'll try to finish all 10 tutorials or challenges i have to get done and get a move on, on starting my assignment. still thinking about what game to make, and im still thinking about snakes? :)

okay. im off to work now. doing challenge 6? this challenge is a lot like tetris, the movement of the sprite using the keyboard to move the charatcer down the screen and around etc.

one of the tutorials was to get a sprite and make it follow the mouse. point in the direction of the mouse so it moves around without the keyboard. by changing the amout of steps the sprite takes towards the mouse changes the speed of the sprite? if that makes sense. so basically the bigger the number the faster the sprite goes, following the mouse.

another! tutorial ;)

yaay. haha. tutorials are pretty fun and so simple :)

umm today i was just playing around with scratch, see what i can do and i made this car, and it moves when you press the left and right keys and it changes colour depending which direction you are going, haha. pretty cool but i did not save it. i did a tutorial called glide and now i am playing around with that effect and making something just for arianne. :) haha, its a ghost that moves and ye, its purple and she lyks purple so yeaa! haha, i thought the more practice i get the better right? so yea. im doing that at the moment.

tutorials :)

taking a break form the challenges i shall do some tutorials, they look pretty easy i guess? haha, simple and easy to follow.
im going to change the colour of a sprite. :)

wow, haha i did my first tutorial and it was so easy. i was kinda surprised.

the only thing i had to do was when i pressed space bar the sprite would change colour. the sprite i chose was a carb and it changes colours each time i pressed space, from red to yellow to green to blue to purple...etc.

and for my next tutorial i will make a lady dance? :L haha, that sounds funny!

this one i did print screen as it was easier, i kinda didnt really get this one. seems kind of pointless, the girl hardly even moves! oh well, i did follow the instructions, although i did not put any sound on it as i did not want to record anything?

challenge 3 and 4?

today im all for work :)
im trying to get as much done as possible, yaay! haha. im trying to be in work mood as sabine is not here :( to distract me? haha, but yes. i shall complete more challenges and other tasks in order to make and start planning for my own game. which i am still thinking about, trying to get suggestions and stuff, still not too sure though.
you know that game, snakes on the old black and white nokia phones. well would that be a good idea for a game? not too sure, seems lyk a good idea right? simple too? :)
and yeaa! im going to get started on challenge 3 and maybe even some tutorials.

and i think i might as well also put challenge three up here, its the same but instead of moving away, it moves closer towards you, therefore making it bigger in size :) haha. okay i shall upload the image of it too.

and so i jst found out that sir doesnt really want all the screen shots but instead the steps we used to make the sprite move and stuff? i still think this is a bit easier as the image basically gives you the instructions already? but ye, maybe for the next few challenges and tutorials i will show the steps and not just print screen? :)

challenge 1 and 2

alright then. here is the first challenge, i know im a bit late, but better now than never ;) haha, enjoy. its really simple but here we go anyway, and coz im so "fo shizz" in sabine's words...
(not mine :L) but yes. i will also put challenge 2 on here :) haha, i thought it would take a lot longer to do a challenge but it doesnt so i will breeze through these. yaay!

scratch

alright now, im sorry. im a bit benind in doing scratch tutorials, ive been playing around with it but have not yet saved any of the tutorials. hopefully i will get some done right now, and then next lesson i believe we have to start on our assignment. still havent decided on an idea for the game, so i shall also think about that.

okay, now im going to do some tutorials :)
