This lab was focused on simple motion in Scratch. Problem 1 had us move a sprite, the cat in my project, around the screen from bottom left,then bottom right, then to top right, then back to the bottom left. After each movement, we were asked to make the sprite face in the direction they were moving, or turn 90 degrees at every corner. In Problem 2, we were asked to have 6 sprites start at the center of the screen. When the green flag was clicked the sprites were supposed to glide to a given location, forming a hexagon.
My solution in Problem 1 was that I made the sprite start at the bottom left of the screen. Every time the green flag is clicked, the cat moves 250 steps, and turn 90 degrees. If you keep clicking the green flag, the cat will outline a square. In Problem 2, I have 6 cats begin at the center of the screen. When the green flag is clicked, each cat glides for 3 secondsto a coordinate on the grid that I made. After they are done gliding, the 6 cats form a hexagon on the screen.
1) I viewed "100th Project" by OrionDark7. Blocks that I recognize: set to a cooridinate, say something, wait a certain amount of time, switch costumes. Blocks that I do not recognize: show, hide, repeat, set size to a certain percent, repeat, and broadcast a message.
2) The scratch screen is 480 pixels wide and 360 pixels tall3) The center is at the origin at (0,0).
4) The untis of measurement are pixels.5) You can have an unlimited amount of sprites and stages on the screen becasue you can make things invisible, or hide them until you want them to show up.
