Final Project Maze Game

Final Unit Project for Scratch

The goal for my scratch game is to get the sprite from one end of the maze to the other end without touching the walls. I will use sports themed sprites because this will be a sports themed maze. I will also used sports backgrounds to go along with the sports theme of the game. The scoring will work by if you beat the maze you move on to the next. You do not necessarily get a score but the better you do the farther you go. You win after you complete all of the mazes. When someone wins a message pops up on the screen and says you win. I will have three levels all being harder than the previous one. Each one will be a different sport. I will increase the difficulty be making the walls thinner so it's harder to get through. I will do this by drawing the lines closer together.

Scenes Try It

Reflect: The stage makes a setting for the sprites to work around. During a scene you can make sprites talk. Acting would use scene changes beyond animation. I saw my classmates some of them had similar backdrops to mine.

The broadcast is fun and easy.

Make a Block

I would say for make a block you have to name your block and then after you must explain how that block will work. You might use a block when adding multiple actions in a row to one block.

Try it Out Reflect

I liked this activity a lot. It was surprising to me when the scratch would not move unless the green flag was used. It was very easy to be led step by step through the activity. I like a lot of structure when learning because it's easier to follow along. I like having more freedom once I get a hang of the task at hand. I feel most creative when looking at my final project.

Ten Block Challenge

The ten block activity helps you learn scratch by showing you what you can do with a limited number of blocks. The ten block restrains you from using your imagination and you have to keep it inside the lines.

HTML Tutorial

HTML seems very confusing at first but looks like it can be helpful. I want to learn more about how it translates it's writing onto a webpage. I want to learn more about the codes and how they were originally created. I want to learn about who created it. I learned that HTML is what you would use to create a webpage. I also learned how to transfer words to the page. I am somewhat concerned that I am not going to do it correctly.

Binary Sentence

I came across Nora Jerretts binary code  and I really liked it. It includes question marks for 0 and exclamation points for 1. For example I could say ?!!?!  !!??! ????? ?!!!? ????! ?!!?! ??!?! ????? ?!??! !??!! ????? ???!! ?!!!! !??!? !!??! ????? ?!!?? !!??! ?!!!! ?!!!? !??!! (My name is Cory Lyons)

00010 01001 01110 00001 10010 11001 (Binary)

My new code for binary is with dollar bill signs ($) in place for the ones and ampersands (&) in place for the zero. Instead of using ones and zeros like I did in the title to spell the word binary it would look something like this in my new code... &&&$& &$&&$ &$$$& &&&&$ $&&$& $$&&&$ (Binary).

Why Do Computers Use Binary?

During the video we watched during class I learned that computers use a signal to get sound from one place to the next like in headphones. The sound travels from one end end of the headphones to the other. The sound also beats on your eardrums causing you to hear the sound that is travelling through the signal. I learned how to fix a high binary number by just giving it a smaller range. I don't quite understand counting with large numbers through binary it didn't come to me right away. I also did not quite understand how adding numbers together works. I would like to know more about adding the binary numbers because it seems like something I might be able to use in the future.

Eliza

Eliza was in no way human like to me she would repeat questions an lines so repetitively you weren't able to have a conversation and she would jumble up all of her words. I would attempt to have her repeat things less often this would make her seem more human. You can't really expect human like emotions from a computer because they truly aren't human. Yet in the future I can see computers being more like humans as human knowledge advances.

Skateboarding Cultural Design

In Computer Applications we have been exploring different types of cultural designs. I tried out the skateboarding software and it was very interesting. Skateboarding began in California in the 1950s. They were nothing more than wheels on wooden boxes that kids would try to ride around on. Skateboarding has turned very diverse and popular since then and is a fun activity to try out.
