Simple talk

Just a very crude example of how to hold a conversation.

WordPlay

An example of kinetic word art. Uses broadcasting to coordinate the dance betwen the letters.

Sample of Programming in Scratch

spelling1

The first stage of a spelling bee. This example is for the IJIMS kids. But everyone else is welcome to play. This is a first draft. More to come later in the week. Press the green flag.

catColorChallenge

Guilde the cat through the course: t to thrust forward r to reverse up & down to dodge and weave. some colors gain points, some loose. Avoid white. 400 points wins You can add more panels. See code

catdodge

Dodge the blocks. See how fast you can get through without touch the blocks once. No score keeping have fun with that if you want. t to thrust forward r to thrust back up and down arrows to dodge This is a starter for understanding scrolling panels. Please remix a lot!

BigMapV2

An example of navigating a single sprite map. Find the yellow sun. Improve this game with a variable (better speed) and an interesting story line This one fixes a couple of nasty conceptual bugs in the first version. There are probably more

Perspective walk

This is an example of creating perspective in a game, such as a racing game, or a driving game. The trees move toward the pink dots, which should be hidden in a real game.

Scratch conference[1]

A Scratch conference project. Pass it on. A remix of a remix of a remix. Click the sprites.....

TurtleTree

I've wanted to write the purely recursive turtle tree since I first played with Scratch six months ago. But I am an old sequential, single process programmer and it took me a while to realize that I had to think coorperatively. Little helpers can be real individuals in a concurrent world! Very cool. It may not look all that fancy but I'm happy!

numberInput

We needed a program that would easily let you enter up to four digit numbers. Code can be improved (always).... Next step is to be able to update a digit by cycling through the costumes of the sprite.

Gravity

A simple program to illustrate how gravity influences a "jump." Scratch is given an initial speed (actually a velocity with direction 0). How high Scratch jumps is dependent upon the relationship between the start speed and gravity. Press the flag to clear the speed and set up the start speed and gravity. Click the cat to see the relationship. There IS a bug. When the cat hits the ceiling it stays there.... messing up the calculation of the returning speed. I don't get this. Help!

dahlia2

This is a simple random version of the dahlia program. It makes a bouquet! The upper and lower bounds on the random numbers were picked esthetically. An experiment had the color change by -1 rarther than -3, but it doesn't give the same colorful effect. But rather creates more of a mood based on where it is in the color cyle. My next challenge is to bias the randomness so that some colors are more frequent than others. Let me know if you find a solution to this puzzle.
