mastermind

Based on the Parker Bros. Game. To Play: Click "New Game" to start a game. The object of the game is to guess the secret combination of pegs. Each of the four pegs can be any of six different colors. There can be more than one of any color, as well! To make a guess, click on an empty hole to make it change to a colored peg. Keep clicking to see all of the colors. Fill in all four empty holes, then click on the "Guess" button. The smaller holes will fill in with smaller pegs to tell you how you did. You get one black peg for each peg in your guess that is the right color in the right hole. You get one white peg for each peg that is the right color, but NOT in the right hole. You get 10 guesses to get the right answer!

Car-counter

Simple example of Pictograms based on a survey of car colours. After 15 cars, it will draw a pictogram. Amazingly it only uses 1 Sprite and 2 scripts.

Water park teacher copy

This is a model I created to teach year 9 students about control. It could be used with the QCA example unit 13 for control. Please leave a comment if you found this resource useful or downloaded it for education purposes. I will make models for the other QCA units if anyone wants to share some feedback.

Traffic Lights C V1.0

Part C of a Traffic Light simulation used as a Scratch tutorial. Press Green flag and then spacebar to view outcome. This version introduces sprite movement and sending messages from one sprite to another. Get the children to edit the stage background and make a road with a crossing. Show them how to shrink the lights sprite and move it around. Add in a person or character and use the glide command to make it move (or make a simple repeat/move loop) Advanced students should be able to go on to add other elements, e.g red/flashing green person.

Traffic Lights B V1.0

Part B of a Traffic Light simulation used as a Scratch tutorial. Press Green flag and then spacebar to view outcome. This version moves on to convert the traffic light into a pedestrian light. Get the children to fill in the unused costume and name it AllOff. Show how to make the amber light flash on and off by switching costumes with short delay inbetween. Then introduce the concept of the repeat loop to produce a pedestrian crossing light.

Traffic Lights A V1.0

A Simple Traffic Light simulation used as a Scratch tutorial. Press Green flag and then spacebar to view outcome. Get the children to draw a black rectangle and put 3 coloured circles on it. Copy the costume 4 times (5 copies all together) Now make all the required combinations (Red,Amber,Green & Red and Amber) by editing each costume, filling in unwanted colours using the fill tool Leave remaining costume for next stage. Change the name for each costume to relect its colour. Introduce the children to scripting and let them start programming!!!!

Math Subtraction Fact Race

This is a remix of the Math Fact Race project by Mr. Hill. http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/MrHill/31372 This project tests subtraction rather than multiplication and allows the mouse to be used to select an answer rather than the keyboard. INSTRUCTIONS A subtraction equation will appear in the top left of the screen. Four possible answers are also displayed. Click on an answer to select it and, as with the original project, a correct response will result in forward progress. Incorrect answers result in a penalty, so be careful. Reach the right side of the screen before the bat to win.

Wizard Nim

Play NIM against the computer. Take turns flipping the dots from red to black. On your turn, you can flip as many dots as you want, but only on One row. The winner is the player that takes the last turn. I used Innermuse's suggestion and speeded up some of the Wizard's movements.

Logical Array

Watch the Wizard command the individual bits of a variable!

castle maker

this is a spin-off of building blocks by Yakkers but with castles so enjoy!MAke Your own two castles and choose their colours!

MicroScratch XTR3ME

Everything works. Report glitches. This is extremly awsome. May take a while to load but hey, its cool! Download for best performance! Change color of bar by clicking it! You can see through it a bit! THIS IS UPDATED. Their was acuttly a couple of glitches but they are all fixed. I fixed.. many things!

Web-Spinning Spider

Animation of a spider building an orb-web. Our spider begins by letting out a line and letting the wind carry it over the gap. This is the strand from which all the rest of the work is hung.. An actual spider trails the threads out loosely then pulls them tight, which is beyond the scope of this animation. That's why the thread doesn't always seem to be following the spider. But in fact, the spider is followign the same route a real spider would follow to make the part of the web that is being drawn at that time. Music is ripped from Neverwinter Nights.

Times Table Tester

I was really impressed by Kaydoodle13's design for a maths game (zooming into the blackboard would never have occured to me) and so I have updated it to make the question random. Questions continue forever, with a count kept of how many have been asked and how many you got right. The question will be a multiplication of any two numbers between 1 and 12, except that the answer can only be a 2 digit number (from 10 to 99). Press what you think is the answer on your keyboard. If you get the first digit (Tens) right, it will say "OK.." if you get the second number (ones) it will say "Well Done!" Press "Z" to zoom into the blackboard and space to zoom out again.
