Scratch Tutorial- Whirl Colour

Wednesday, 26th November 2008

Hello Journal,

This tutorial uses the forever button once again and also I learnt you can set a whirl and colour effect to mouse x and mouse y. So when I clicked the green flag button and direct the mouse to the sprite(the hippo with wings) and minute it moves the hippo moves in a whirl like direction and at the same time changes different colors.

Scratch Tutorial- SURPRISE!....Button

Wednesday, 26th November 2008

Hello Journal,

This tutorial was the suprise button tutorial. What I learnt was what the colour button did and also about the sound button and the random button. With the colour button, when you clicked on the sprite(the drum) it changes colour by an effect of what number you choose and also for the playing the drum button, i found out that you can actually put the 'green pick random' button. The numbers 35-81 are actually the numbers for each drum instrument and it goes for whatever number of beats chosen. So when i click on the drum it changes colour as well as plays any one of the drum sounds from 35-81 for .2 beats!

Scratch Tutorial- Say Something!!!!

Wednesday, 26th November 2008

Hello Journal,

This tutorial is the one where to sprites are communicating to each other( a shark and a starfish). There a two choices you can pick in terms of what ways the sprites are communicating to each other.In the one I created I have them talking to each other, but there is also the option which shows a speech bubble showing them thinking to themselves. As seen i have chosen the 'saying' option. So when the first and second sprite is clicked the speech bubble pop ups and it stays there for 2 secs.

Scratch Tutorial- Moving Animation

Wednesday, 26th November 2008

Hello Journal,

This tutorial involved a sprite (a horse) moving from one end to another and it would give a vision that it was actually galloping. So two costumes were combined and the first one which showed a horse with its first two feet up high and the second costume showing the horse with its feet downwards on the floor, in a gallop position. So it gallops and once it gets to the end it turns around and gallops back!

Scratch Tutorial- Mouse Pointer

Wednesday, 26th November 2008

Hello Journal,

This tutorial was mainly to do with a sprite(monkey) and wherever the mouse pointer moved the monkey moved. I also adjusted the steps to three so the monkey would move 3 steps towards the mouse ponter.

It was short and simple!

Scratch Tutorial- Key Moves

Wednesday, 26th November 2008

Hello Journal,

This tutorial is the key moves tutorial, it was quite easily. I learnt mainly how to move my sprite(elephant) around the stage. So I press the up arrow, it goes upwards and goes in the direction of 0. So for the down arrow, it would move downwards in the direction of 180 degrees. Then by pressing the left arrow it would move left in direction of -90 degrees and the opposite for the right arrow going towards 90 degrees!

My elephant would move 10 steps for each direction.

I guess this tutorial would help in terms of when playing a maze game, to help move around!

Scratch Tutorial- Glider

Wednesday, 26th November 2008

Hello Journal,
This is the glider tutorial, while creating this i especially learnt how to make a sprite glide about the stage. My glide went in a triangular movement, and that was the way it positioned with the x's and y's being adjusted that way. As well as that before the seconds are also adjusted to match how long it takes for the sprite(a crab) to go from the bottom(1 sec) to the top and then back to the bottom on the right side(1sec) and then back to the position it started which is on the left hand side(2 secs)!Sanea.

Scratch Tutorial- Dance Twist

Wednesday, 26th November 2008

Hello Journal,

This is another tutorial completed, it is the dance twist tutorial. I learned how to use a number of different costumes(in this case the ballerina) and how to change to make her look like she is doing ballerina moves. Also I also learnt how to set the whirl effect while she is dancing and when the key 'w' is pressed it starts her dancing moves as well as starts music to accompany her while she is dancing. It was once again interesting to create it!

Here is the script^^^^

Wednesday, 26th November 2008

Hello Journal,
Here is the 1st Costume tutorial, which is the changes of the different costumes I had designed. I had learnt how to use the forever button, which means 'keep doing this'. I also learnt how to edit the picture and i also changed the background. Then i combined my first normal cat costume to another cat costume which i edited with a pink background. So it was interesting and something new I learnt!

Here is my script^^^^

Scratch

Wednesday, 26th November 2008
Hello Journal,

We got a new asignment ages ago for scartch. I havent had time to write a diary entry as i have been too busy doing the tutorials and challenges. I have finished my tutorials and even my challenges are tricky but i am nearly done, just doing every single one and then going back to challenge 5 which will take the longest as it is actually making a creative story.

My tutorials as well as challenges are above and I written a little on each talking about what i have learnt from that tutorial!

The whole point of these tutorials and challenges is so that we are able to use these skills we have learnt towards the whole making of our game on Scratch, but so far the game is not exactly due at the end of the year but we are also getting marked on the way we present our tutorials and challenges and talk about what we have actually learnt from each!'
