Scratch Final Project Reflection

To begin making the game, I first spent a good amount of time trying to create a title and get the crab to introduce the rules and game. One of the major problems I had were sensor and touching blocks, I couldn't seem to figure out how to get the point system to work when the fish would touch other fish or other objects. I would test it by trying out the game bit by bit and addressing or making notes of the things I still had to add or fix. The game did work for the most part as I intended. I am most proud of the fact of how many sprites I had to use in this project and to get sensing and triggers to work. One thing I am a little disappointed in is that I would have liked the fish to just bounce off the walls or objects instead of going back to the beginning but I couldn't seem to get the block arrangement right.

Final Unit Project Description

My game is going to be an underwater fishy game. Where there is going to be a fish you choose as your character and you will have to manipulate it with arrow keys to the maze of objects that get in its way, sure as coral or rocks, to help it find its way home. There will also be points that are achieved by getting little fish for food. You will need to avoid hitting any objects and get a certain amount of points to advance to the next level where its harder to get the points (fish move faster) and there's more objects to avoid. I will be using fish and ocean creature sprites, with underwater backgrounds, you need 10 points per level and there will be 3 levels, easy, medium, and hard. You win once you get all the points to advance through all levels. When you win the fish will say, "Congratulations! You win! Thanks for helping me get home."

Cats Alphabet Game: It was very creative and I found it cool how she drew the foods into the shapes of letters they went with. Julias Alphabet Game: I found her choice of sprites really cool and interesting, you could never expect what the next letters sprite would be.

Scenes

Stages can be changed like costumes on sprites, I didn't change the sprite and just kept it stationary while the scenes change. Mini slide shows could use scene changes. Other classmates did fairly similar ideas, using scenes to change where the sprite is located.
