architecture-stamps-v3

Architecture stamping program based on "Fun with Architecture" rubber stamp set by David Eisen, published by the Metropolitan Museum of Art. 'a' for animation 'i' for instructions 'h' to hide tools and instructions 'c' to clear 't' to choose stamp 'e' to choose eraser click to stamp 'l' for line tool left and right arrow keys to rotate up and down arrows to change size Collaborative work with my son, Abe.

fireworks

Click on the stage for fireworks. Up to 5 bursts at a time. This is intended for remixing in other projects.

print_scientific

Printing numbers with the stamp tool. This program has a single sprite called digit, which responds to messages print_number, and print_scientific. It uses four global variables: print_x, print_y, print_after_decimal, and print_number to communicate parameters. When print_number is broadcast, the digit sprite prints out the number by stamping the digits with the bottom right of the final number at print_x, print_y. This version can print up to 15 places to the right of the decimal point, controlled by print_after_decimal. When print_scientific is called, the number is printed in "scientific" notation, with a power of 10 after the letter E (unless the exponent is 0, then the output is the same as print_decimal). After the call, print_number is 0 and print_x is to the left of the printed number. print_y is unchanged. There is a simple test script on the stage: clicking on s broadcasts print_scientific, d broadcasts print_number, while space clears the display.

Marble Racer starter

INSTRUCTIONS: Use the arrow keys to race your marble around the track to the finish line. If you slide off onto the grass, it will slow you down. Press space to change tracks. What's your best lap time? HOW IT WORKS: The marble has variables for its x and y velocities. The arrow keys make it accelerate by changing the velocities. The grass slows you down by multiplying the velocities by a fraction. THINGS TO TRY: * Make your own tracks by drawing a new background. Just use the same shade of green for the grass. * Make a new costume for the ball. * Make obstacles (even moving obstacles!) that slow you down or stop you, or ramps that speed you up.

THINGS TO TRY: You can make your own tracks by drawing a new background. Just use the same shade of green for the grass. Try making obstacles (even moving obstacles!) that you crash into, or enemies that chase you. You could make a little accelerator ramp that speeds you up, or a teleporter portal.

kaleidoscope starter

Use the arrows keys to move around and draw a symmetrical pattern. Things to try: - Edit the costumes of the sprites to draw using different shapes - Use the "change color effect" block to make different colors - Add more key controls

*animation sample

This is an example of the changes you can make to the basic dance animation described in the "Getting Started with Scartch" guide. Click on any of the characters to start them moving!
