Happy Birthday! Thanks to: Andres, Evelyn, John, Emily, Chris, Robbie, Leo, Karen, Ellen, Amon, Annina and Jay! http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/ericr/185628_sm.png solar_house_scratch_board http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/ericr/149993 this house responds to changes in the environment that a Scratch Board can sense. http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/ericr/149993_sm.png computer_explorers_card http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/ericr/149987 http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/ericr/149987_sm.png How to make a Finger Llama http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/ericr/23965 This project shows how to make a Llama with your fingers. http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/ericr/23965_sm.png Branching Growth with Colors http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/ericr/22700 rawkrboi made a mod of my original version of this project (http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/rawkrboi/22392) and also asked if colors could be added- so I tried it out! *** This is a simulation of the branching growth of a crystal (also known as diffusion-limited aggregation). There is a "seed" at the center, and the red particles move randomly until they stick to it. Use the slider to adjust the randomness of the movement. More randomness should result in more branching. I was inspired by this by project: http://scratchr.org/projects/ejmankh/974 http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/ericr/22700_sm.png Memorizing Bananas http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/ericr/21271 The amazing memorizing bananas can remember what you drew and draw it again! They also can draw it the same but smaller! INSTRUCTIONS: Click the bananas, then begin moving the mouse around to draw. The bananas' memory, at the top right, will begin to fill up with colored dots. Once it is full, you will stop being able to draw. Then, click on one of the buttons at the bottom to get the bananas to play back your drawing. HOW IT WORKS: The bananas' memory is based on Jay's amazing digit array: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/jay/20595 I am using it to store and read 3 digit numbers, in pairs representing x and y coordinates. http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/ericr/21271_sm.png Crabby http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/ericr/20747 Click on the fish to feed them to crabby. If he gets too hungry he'll run away. If you feed him too fast he'll get full! http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/ericr/20747_sm.png Walking with Russell http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/ericr/17765 Happy Birthday Russell! I hope you enjoy this game about taking a walk. It also includes some number theory, several intellectual superstars, and one shortstop. Have fun! http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/ericr/17765_sm.png Fireworks http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/ericr/14679 Click to launch fireworks! http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/ericr/14679_sm.png Gobo Goes Around the World http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/ericr/14675 Gobo goes on a mission to find his missing pet monster. Enjoy! http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/ericr/14675_sm.png The Ziploc Game http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/ericr/8080 Happy Birthday Mom! We made you this interactive ziploc game card. Enjoy! Love, Eric and Dorothy http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/ericr/8080_sm.png Ewe and Me http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/ericr/5793 This is a little stop-motion animation I made with my friends Jonah (an animator) and Ewe (a sheep). Enjoy! Click on it to play it again. How I made this: We set up a camera on a tripod. Jonah took a series of pictures, while I made very small movements between each one (this is a type of animation called pixilation). I made an animated gif out of the photos (using Flash), then imported it into scratch. I recorded and edited the audio using Audacity (a free audio editor). Dorothy made the popping sound. http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/ericr/5793_sm.png Melody Pattern-O-Matic http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/ericr/4089 Quick start: Press keys 1-6 a few times, then click "run," and watch and listen! Instructions: Create a sequence of up and down note movements, using keys 1-6. Use space for rests. Up and down arrows let you move the cursor to edit. Run button starts your pattern running in a loop. You can edit your pattern while it runs. Use the clear buttons to clear your program or drawing. Use the speed slider to make it run fast (useful for filling in visual patterns) or slow. Try different instruments, too. http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/ericr/4089_sm.png Happy Birthday Fran http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/ericr/3023 Happy Birthday Fran! We hope you enjoy this interactive jazzercise birthday card. Love, Eric and Dorothy http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/ericr/3023_sm.png Many Mitchells http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/ericr/2881 Happy Birthday Mitch! On this, the occasion of your (recent) 21st birthday, I thought I would give you the chance to clone yourself 1000 times, like you've always wanted. Click to add a Mitch-clone to the scene (identical, except of course for the occasional genetic variation). Enjoy!
