Scratch final Project finally done!

Final project
It's finally done! I had so much problems while doing this that made me need to change my plans. Now my final idea is that one of the mice is the special one that brings you to the next level. If you get it you get smaller. The lower the score the better. I had many problems along the way. My biggest was that I had no idea how to make different levels. I am sorry but make a block was a problem that was too hard because it kept glitching out my project. I trouble shooted and found that it was infact make a block. This was a fun project though.

New final project idea

I have a new idea for what I want to do for my final project. I am going to make a game where you need to eat mice and when you get a certain number of points your character evolves. It is like a game for the iPhone called alpaca. This is going to be challenging but I can do it.

Semester 2 final project

I have a great idea for my game. I am going to make flappy bird on scratch! I will use the events and make it so the up arrow makes the bird go up and the down makes the bird go down. Then I will make levels and each level will get harder. The harder the stage the more points for completion.

Debug

Debug 1
Debug 2
Debug 3
Debug 4
Debug 5
For all 5 of these I didn't really need to think because they were all really easy. It is just a matter of playing it a few times to see the problem then going and fixing that problem. Out of all of them the fifth was the longest to do but was also very easy. The fastest one was four because all we had to do was add one block and it was done. In my opinion the Debug it was way easier than the other one.

Number 5

Excuse me
This is very easy. It helps to make conversations better. I just experimented until I found it. I can use this for my project and possibly make cool stories using this new feature.

Number 1

Size changes
In this problem we had to make it so that the sprite gets bigger when the b key is pressed and smaller when the s key is pressed. All we have to do is go under events and choose the block that says "when _ is pressed" then set it to s or b. Then just put a change size by 10 under it.

Number 9

Mouse follows pointer
I like this because it allows the sprite to interact more with the user. I just looked around until I found a block that says go to mouse pointer. I think I might use this for my game.

Change backdrops

Backdrop
This is really helpful because now I can make a project with scene changes so it will be like a movie. This is a really helpful tool that can improve anyone's project. In order for the backdrop to change you need to go under looks and choose the "switch backdrop" block.

Conversations penguin joke

http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/23247024/
I really like the broadcast feature of scratch. It brings conversations to a new level and now it is like they are really talking to each other. It is confusing at first but if you combined it with make a block you can make a whole conversation and put it in one block.
My second one

Make a block

http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/23245614/
Make a block was a fun experience. It wouldn't be very useful in small projects but in big projects it would really help. In order to make a block you put together a bunch of commands then click "make a block". You name your block and that block when activated does everything in the commands you originally had all in one.
