Scratch Lab 1

Name: Chris Theo

Period: 7

Assignment: Lab #1

Lab Overview

This lab is about learning the basics of scratch. These basics consist of Sprite costume changes, movements, and learning how to operate Scratch overall. In the project below we were instructed to draw 3 costumes and make these costumes switch from one to another repeatedly. You can learn more HERE.

My Solution

My solution to this assignment was drawing three faces in scratch. Each face have a different emotion that changes every 2 seconds. I also decided to add a color changing background for effect. This project was an easier one in my opinion and I hope to make more like this because it was fun being able to make it how I wanted it.

My Solution

In this lab I drew shapes with the pen commands, this proved to be a challenge at first but once I got the hang of it the process of creating shapes was easy.

My Solution

In this project I created a hexagon with sprites, one of the sprites is slower because he is lacking a brain but he still achieves his goal. This project was fun to make and fun to watch.

Questions

  1. Go to the scratch home page and click explore and then animations (https://scratch.mit.edu/explore/projects/animations/). Find an animation that you like. Click on “see inside”. What blocks do you recognize? What is unfamiliar?
    • I reconized movement blocks telling the sprites where to go, but I did not reconize some of the sensing blocks that made the title screen possible.
  2. How large is the scratch screen?
    • The scratch screen is 480 x 360 meaning it is 172800 pixels.
  3. Where is the center of the scratch screen??
    • The center of the screen is at the coordinates 0x0.
  4. What are the units of the measurment of the scratch screen?
    • The Scratch screen is measured in pixels
  5. How many sprites can you have on the screen? How many Stages? Explain why this makes sense.
    • You can have an unlimited amount of sprites on your screen because you can stack them. You can only have one stage because scratch will only let you use one background at a time.
