Chaos_Game_v2

This is a modified version of Cyclone103's Chaos Game (http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/Cyclone103/158093) In this version, you can: * Drag the corners of the triangle (red, blue, and green) * Control how far the pen moves on each step (with the SCALE slider) Try adjusting the slider and moving the corners, click the Green Flag, and observe how the pattern changes. On each step, the pen randomly chooses one of the three corners, moves a certain percentage of the way towards that corner, and draws a dot. The SCALE slider controls the percentage.

graph of tennis stats

This project graphs the relationship between the % of games won by a tennis player, and the expected % of sets won by the player. Warning: This project takes a long time to run, since it runs the simulation over a large number of games. This project is a followup to (link to project)

tennis statistics

My friend Ken and I play tennis each week. Last year, he won 55% of the games we played. We wanted to know what percentage of the sets he should expect to win, given that he wins 55% of the games. So I created this simulation. Programming note: To randomize the random number generator, the program continuously picks random numbers until the user presses the space bar.

TurtleArt

INSTRUCTIONS Click the Green Flag to start. Try different values for the slider. HOW I MADE THIS The slider controls how much the turtle turns between each step. The pen changes color between each turtle step. MORE IDEAS Try changing how much the pen-color changes between each step, or how much the step-size changes.

FishChomp

Try to make the big fish eat the smaller fish. INSTRUCTIONS Click the Green Flag to start. Move the mouse to control the big fish. HOW I MADE THIS * To see whether the big fish is close enough to eat the little fish, I used the "color _ is touching _ ?" block * The little fish broadcasts "got me" when the big fish gets close to it, which triggers the big fish to animate its mouth in an eating motion. MORE IDEAS * Keep score of how many fish are eaten * Make different kinds of fish ("good fish" and "bad fish")

PlayfulPaint

INSTRUCTIONS Click the Green Flag to start. Press the mouse button to paint. Press the F key to draw a flower. Press the space bar to clear. When you draw a flower, the pitch of the notes depends on the y-position of the mouse HOW WE MADE THIS A sprite follows the mouse all of the time. When you press the mouse button, the sprite puts down its pen and draws small lines with random colors and random widths in random directions. MORE IDEAS Try changing the shape of the sprite.
