Assignment: Lab #1
This lab focused on the movement of the sprite. We were supposed to make the sprite move smoothly in the way directed. We had to do thingslike make the sprite create shapes or travel across the screen. We did this by giving the sprite specific movements to do in specific directions.
My solution was basically the same commands repeatedly but with different locations. I would tell my sprite to move to one location, then turn 90 degrees. I repeated this process 4 times in order to make my sprite travel on the edge of the screen.
My solution for this problem was very simple. I got 6 different sprites that were similiar but not the same. I ended up getting 4 cars, a boat and a rug. I put them all in the middle of the page. Then i told them to glide to a specific place. I tried to make all thr sprites connect in a way so they looked like a hexagon. I did this by rotating the vehicles. Lastly I finished the solution by telling all thesprites to return tothe middle. In conclusion all my sprites leave the middle to make a hexagon, then they return to the middle.
Creating the solution for the last problem was the hardest for me. It was also the longest. I started off by telling my sprite to go to a location, then put the pen down. He moved, waited a second then rotated 60 degress 6 times until he created a hexagon. Then I told him to pick up the pen and go to another location.Then he did the same thing again, but instead of 60,he rotated 90 degrees. Also,instead of 6 times,he repeated this process 4 times. Then he picked up and changed the location once more. This last times he rotated 120 degress 3 times. I ended the code by telling the sprite to pick up the pen and to go to the middle of thepage. Once i wasdone,i added "clear"to the top of the code so I could esasily start it over.
1. Go to the scratch home page and click explore and then animations (HERE). Find an animation that you like. Click on “see inside”. What blocks do you recognize? What is unfamiliar?
Some blocks that I recognize are the "go to x and y", the "wait" blocks and the "repeat until.." blocks.2. How large is the scratch screen?
The scratch screen is 480 by 360 pixels.3. Where is the center of the scratch screen?
The center of the screen is the origin (0,0).4.What are the units of measurement of the scratch screen?
The units of measurements of the screen are pixels.5. How many sprites can you have on the screen? How many stages? Explain why this makes sense.
I think you can have however many backdrops and spries as you want. This makes sense because its your code that you're creating.
