6/2 What I've done, and what I still need to do. I've done the whole introduction of my Scratch Project, but I still need to finish the rest of it. There is a lot of coding I need to finish, and I'm frequently running into problems, such as making a certain sprite move to a certain location and switch to a certain background all at the same time when something happens. It's a work in progress.

5/20 My project's goal is to inform the viewer/player about the hardships African American slaves had to face in their daily lives. I will be working on the introduction of my project, mainly, my main sprite, Jerome, and his various commands and functions. Should work out quite nicely. My current challenge right now is figuring out how to get my background to change after I click a certain sprite, which is my Let's Learn sprite, instead of having to press a certain key on the keyboard, although that is still a very good option. I'll just use my past experiences and my fellow classmates around me to help me overcome my obstacle. Easy enough. The most interesting things i've learned so far is how to tie multiple sprites together, and have them all do multiple things onscreen and offscreen at once, seamlessly. It's rather impressive to me. I am applying math in my project by having different sprites do different things during different times in different backgrounds, which requires a lot of timing and math in the coding itself, like switching to costume 2 when you enter background 6 for example. This in itself requires some minor math and planning to be executed correctly, and efficiently.

5/12 Scratch Second Plan What will you teach? Be very specific. I will teach people about the hardships slaves go through in their day to day life. Specifically, what they do every day in terms of work, how they feed themselves, and what gives them the will to continue going every day. I want people to know everything slaves had to go through, and what it was like for them. How will users interact with the program Users will interact with the program by being able to click certain buttons to see in more detail the things slaves had to endure just living day to day, and maybe some fun facts.

4/23 Sad Song

4/16 What part of your project will you be working on today? I will be working on the main menu of my game, as well as the in game store used to upgrade your character. What might you need help with in order to make progress? I might need help with figuring out how to make buttons work in Scratch, but I know I can figure it out. What are the most interesting things you've learned? I've relearned how to make something disappear just by another sprite interacting with that object. How are you applying math in your project? I am applying math in my project by keeping a store system, which requires upgrades, and upgrades requires coins. you can buy things from the coins you collect, which is pretty basic addition and subtraction of your coins that were collected. coins subject to change.

4/10 The program I will create will be a simple puzzle game. The main character will have to make his or her way to the end of the level, by collecting a set amount of coins to get to the end. Once they beat the game, there will be a victory screen, which will slowly fade away, and then bring them back to the main menu. There, they can replay the level with some new unlocked characters. You will play the game by using the arrow keys, and the space bar. The arrow keys will be used to move your character, and the space bar will be used to jump. Simple enough.
