Larry828's Recent Projects

Night Vision

A simple experiment in trying to simulate the use of night vision equipment to track Cat's movements when it gets VERY dark! Press 1 to see what things look like at night, then 2 to use night vision. ---Larry828 ___And thanks to acedannyk for suggesting the full-screen ghosted overlay.

Cat Tests Scratch

Dogs love to chase cats. Scratch Cat knows that dogs love to chase cats. Scratch Cat is going for a walk anyway. Have a good walk, Cat!!

How We Start

Starts with Scratch Cat so I can show friends how all projects start. --Now I've added a few scripts and displayed them on the screen so people can see how things happen. And a friend even drops by! __________Note: this was written to show people who don't have Scratch on their computers but who can view it online. This lets them see a couple of scripts, and rerun them if they wish, to see a little of how Scratch works. That's all it is! Enjoy! --Larry828

Cat and Turkey

A Thanksgiving greeting!

Movie Shoot

A Monster seeks a starring role in this movie.

Simple Symphony

A small orchestra directed by a Wizard plays music composed for this performance. Written in note-for-note style with music distributed among the sprites. All sprites have been modified for effect. --Enjoy! Larry828

Autumn Cats

This is what happens when someone makes a perfectly beautiful presentation and somebody else decides to make a remix. ______________itsEMILagain made the wonderful project "Autum Leaves"....and Larry828 made this. >>>>BUT: what does *this* offer? Adding representatives of the animal kingdom to Autumn. AND: original music composed just for this project by the remixer!! BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE: Scratch Cat gets to make yet another appearance at his website! (Of course these are just paper cutouts, not real cats!!) _______________________________________ Remember: one click under this project will take you to the original! *****And Larry828 sends Best Autumn Wishes to itsEMILagain for giving us such a fine example to follow....

Robot Attack

The Robot is trying to get you!! If you know where it is, you can bomb it. ______Instructions are on the screen. Good luck! --Larry828

Motion Monitor

The scripts monitor the movement (or lack of movement) of a sprite. ----In this project as long as the sprite is detected as being in motion then a pleasant beep is heard. But if the sprite stops for more than one second an alarm beeping is heard, and the sprite starts planning something!! [That could easily be reversed in the scripts.] ______________ [Perhaps this would be useful in a game for monitoring the movement of the gamer's sprite, or for an enemy.] _______________ This project is presented as a "module" that could be plugged into a larger one, providing both the arrow key movement and the motion monitoring. I'd like to hear from anyone who uses the monitor in a larger project!! Thanks, and enjoy! --Larry828

Tilter Too

This is a REMIX of greenflash's great project "Tilter." ____ Tilter loves falling through the air! Tilter loves it so much that Tilter seems to lose sleep, and sometimes falls asleep in mid-air. But if Tilter reaches the ground then Tilter jumps right back into the air again!! _________ Have fun with greenflash's tilting sprite! (I added some music.) [If a parrot appears from time to time, don't blame me. I can't imagine why it's there.] --Larry 828 _________________________________________ ***On a personal note, the sprite used to stop when both halves touched a green object at the same time. I finally figured out how to use a variable to detect if the sprite stopped falling! If it stops for 2 seconds then it is sent back to the top of the screen. Hurray!! A new discovery! Here are part of the original Project Notes: This project demostrates tilting on a slope. The different colors are used as sensors, turning left or right depending on which color is touching. Have fun!

Musical Sprites

Lots of Scratch Sprites joined the project to make great music!! The three primary chords are played by three highly-trained Sprites!! They have agreed to let you set the pace of the song they play. --Enjoy! Larry828

Cat-Dog Play

Two friends playing one afternoon. The song is played by Cat's position! ___And here's a little mystery: sometimes the cat and dog are in contact for 2 or 3 seconds...but the dog only barks *once*! How is that possible? :-)

Bouncy Melody

The three primary chords are played by three highly-trained Sprites!! They have agreed to let you set the pace of the song they play. --Enjoy! Larry828

Cat Player

The Purple Guy and the Cats play you a tune, then let you play your own....either by pressing keys or randomly by pressing the Spacebar. What an opportunity!! --Enjoy! Larry828

Music Box

Lots of familiar songs can be played with only three chords -- so that's what this does. **The tempo of the song can be changed with the slider....and that's not all that changes! Hope you enjoy this. Larry828 ********This project includes bass notes for each chord. "Music Box" specifically features 4-note runs into each chord change.
