Brandon`s+Scratch+Journal

=__Sketchup__= My plan for sketch up will be a small village/town with just a few houses lined up in a sort of side by side neighbor hood configuation though the town will be small and maybe 8-10 houses all together. Real villages support the color of light or dark brown. There will be no Sprites mostly because the lack of villager and man like examples.

__Mini-Scratch Project__
For my Mini-Scratch project ill be doing a game using questions and many of the variables will be asking and answering the user if correct or incorrect. If more than 2 are incorrect the player will have to restart the game. The subject though that I will use is unknown. =Brandon's Scratch Journal= Paper Minecraft v5.0(2D Minecraft) remix Some of the projects I have explored made me think: "How Did They Do That"? Some projects were interesting,cool,sweet, and funny. Some I think copied paste from pictures or used Scratch sprites. Minecraft projects were one of the best i saw on. Minecraft to some people who don`t know is a game for the PC and xbox. The game is very popular it gets up to 10 million players a day. The game originates from the UK. (Owners name is Steve Notch) [|Helicopter Defense] This Project is the second best in my opinion. The Helicopter must have been colored and pasted to the sprite. Though it uses less sprites.And is a pretty difficult game the controls though often lag. The helicopter shoots enemies.

My first project will be a maze involving a Robot and Zombies
it will be done soon possibly. I was inspired t make a maze because of how easy some of the controls there are and how many there are on scratch Since the there is no zombie sprites I use graph to color the sprite (zombie) green and trace the whole zombie. I do **__s__** know if i will add sounds since nothing really matches the theme of the game itself. If i do find a sound then for sure it will be installed. The game will use about 6-9 sprites and as the game progresses more zombies appear. It may be difficult but I will try.

 * Science Scratch Plan Brandon Ravelo**

What I will be doing for my Science scratch project is for sure a rocket launch. I was inspired to do a rocket launch from some of the science projects on the Scratch site. I think I would only need about 2 or even 1 sprite for the launch. And the game will keep the score each time the user gets the answer correct. Once I looked at some of variables I discovered the projects use many of them such as “Lift for 10 seconds if answer correct” What ill be doing is that someone needs to guess the number of MPH the rocket needs to get to some checkpoints like the stratosphere, Earth’s Orbit, The Moon, and the other planets. If the player gets the answer wrong then the rocket will drift off or fall and crash. Like if the answer the person guessed is lower than the correct answer the rocket will crash and if the answer is higher than the correct answer the rocket will drift off into space. So the project will be based on answering and distance flown mainly, Variables would mainly ask the player and also uses calculating.

 * Science Scratch Project Progress Report**

Currently I'm working on the Variables, I need only one sprite with a costume, Only need 2 backgrounds, and the target of the game is too test the distance and Speed a rocket needs for lift. Users will have to guess speed and varibles as the game progresses. How users win the game is if the rocket reaches beyond the planets. The game will NOT keep scores as you are moving on. The sound effects are things that I am currently working on. Most variables are asking and saying answers and s=asking questions for the user to answer.

there was not that many variables an it as difficult seeing how to point in angles and keeping the scores. I do aim though to do better in the future and hope to get a better grade on any coming projects though this project was confusing... But still I hope t do better.
 * Science Scratch Finale**: For my scratch science project I did decent though


 * Debug It 10/15/13**

Bug 1. There are too many rotate commands The commands should be limited to only one rotate command And choose a number lower than 90.

Bug 2. The cat grew even more as it moved around the screen, the Program should’ve been reset as it kept being used.

Bug 3. The music command kept playing before the cat could move because the Command selected for music was put in front so after the music stopped the Sprite kept on moving until it stopped.

Bug 4. The cat sprite isn’t saying it’s words at the correct time because the Timing set is incorrect and its x-position is also incorrect the timing has to be set at the exact same time.

Bug 5. The sprite is only moving up and down because of No moving commands and no sliding. Which only makes The sprite hop.
