Austin Scratch Journal Austin Sosnowski

Scratch Journal #1 Write a description of your first Scratch exploration I learned how to program a sprite to move and change costumes so that I could to an animation video with a bunny and a frog. With using when clicked [green button], forever if, touching, sprite 3, switch to costume, costume 2. This makes it so that if sprite 1 ever touches sprite 3 it will change sprite 1's costume to costume to 2. This helps for very good endings or beginnings or add-on. This is indeed what i learned.

Scratch Journal #2 Which sample project did you explore? What did you learn? I explored pacman, i also leanred that you can make cool things happen with Scratch, but without making complex scripts. Like by making the pacman script it was just a bunch of seperate key codes to move. People think it's s hard, but all you have to do is put sosme scripts together or. make a bunch of small scripts so that you have alot of choises.

SCRATCH WOKING ON 2-16-12 The scratch that i have been working on is a bomb defuser simulation. You have to defuse the bomb with the right object. You will be given some hints. Not very many, but you will have infinit trys to defuse it correctly. However this is all timed. beat the timer beat the game. You may also realize that it will not tell you what time you have till it blows up. So just make sure that you make you're choises precise and quick. Some may say you have all the time. In this case you should just be fast.

I watched a video about how to modificate circuit boards and I am going to use the information I learned in maybe a seperate add on to the one I am doing. I will have the schooly scratch and then after I might have another project were it tells more put is seperate from the first one. Optional if you want to learn a few extra details, and it would not be long shorter then the "BIG SCHOOLY SCRATCH".
