Square Wave with the Fourier Series

We learned about the Fourier Series in math the other day and I was disappointed that I couldn't put the infinite equation into my graphing calculator. So I made this! Simply change the Period, Amplitude and Speed and decide whether you want it to clear after each iteration.Then click the green flag. Enjoy! Here's an explanation: http://www.intmath.com/Fourier-series/Fourier-intro.php

A Song for Halloween

Here's "In the Hall of the Mountain King" made with all Play Note blocks. I hope you enjoy it!

The Ellipserator

This is next in the series started by "The Parabolator." This one draws ellipses (also known as ovals) and circles. It is an interactive math-art project that can also help you on your own projects. General Instructions: Change the moves on x and y by using the "x shift" and "y shift" buttons. Change the height and width by move the arrow buttons. Press "Graph" to graph and "Clear" to clear. Math Instructions: I suppose this could be used to check your homework or just find out mathy things. Follow the "General Instructions" and look at the equation it gives. Scratch Instructions: There are many instances where ovals are used in projects. For example, in a racing game, there might be an oval track and in a space game, objects might orbit in an oval shape. This equation can be used to make objects move in ovals and circles. Download and look at background 2 to learn how. If this helps you on a project, please tell me so I can see it. Art Instructions: Even if you do not know (or like) this kind of math, this project can be used to make art. Follow the "General Instructions." Change the color by clicking on the pallet. The multi-color part on the left side of the pallet makes the pen color change continually, creating a rainbow effect. Experiment! Tell me what you make. Thanks for viewing my project. Please comment.

Star Power

This allows you to draw stars of any number of vertexes. Change the Size, Points, Rotation, and Color. Move your mouse to where you want the center of the star to be. Press Space and a star will be drawn. If you want, you can use my method of drawing stars on your project. Please tell me if you if you do so I can see your project. Tell me what you think! What's your favorite star? My favorite is 7 points. Thanks for looking at my project!

Sierpinski Gasket Fractal

Now that 1 sprite- 1 script is trendy, I guess this is "stylish" :) You've probably seen the Sierpinski Gasket before, but you may not have seen it rendered this way: with dots! Sure, it takes a while, but it's fun to see the fractal come about. It will never stop. It will become sharper and sharper the longer it goes. This fractal will never be rendered in the same order twice. It is random! Change the size and press the flag to start it again at that size. You can change the color mid-render. PS... If you're impatient, download and put on turbo speedo

Trigonometric point-to-mouse function[1]

This is my remix of jacool's project. It now works in all quadrants. There are probably other ways to make this work. .: ORIGINAL NOTES:. This doesn't use the normal "point to" block. I need help with this project, I want to make it so that even if the mouse's X or Y position is smaller than 0 it works.

Clock Time!

This is a clock simulation and quiz in one. Click Explore to move the hands around. The "digital clock" will tell you what time it is. The other to buttons are quizes. In Read-The-Clock, the clock goes to a random position. You read the clock and enter your answer in the ask block. In Set-The-Clock, you set the clock to the time it tells you. Press the button again to get another question. This could be used by young children to learn about telling time and to quiz themselves. Have fun!

Magic Mind Reader

This is my version of coolmath.com's Monster Mind Reader. If you figure out how it works, go ahead and comment "I figured it out" or something like that but DON'T give it away. Downloading it will show you how it works a little bit, but not all the way. Press the green flag to try again.

The World v1

Type remix instructions to get the instructions. Let's see how many locations we can get! Remix the last project in The World projects gallery. Locations: United States of America http://scratch.mit.edu/galleries/view/55843

Circle Works

Draw: Press Draw to draw a circle of the specified radius. Stop: Press Stop to stop drawing. Clear: Press Clear to clear. You do not have to press Stop first. Extras: Press Extras to drop down extra features. Grey features cannot be used at that time. Following are explanations of the features. Type Radius Value: Allows you to use the ask bar to type a radius. Can be used anytime. Fill Circle: This can only be used once a circle is drawn. It fills the circle using a very simple method that can be used even by very young Scratchers. Download and go to Sprite1 for the method. Click again to un-fill. Axis: Can be used at any time. It draws or erases an axis. Free Trace: This can only be used when a circle is drawn. Move around the mouse and the Starfish will follow it around the circle and tell you the coordinates. Angle Trace: Can only be used with a drawn circle. It is the same as Free Trace but instead of using the mouse, you change the angle(in degrees). Designs: Can be used any time. This is what is shown on the display. Press Design to start. Move the origin to the mouse pointer at any time by pressing space. Change the speed. Go ahead and use any method in this project. It would be nice if you gave me credit and told me about it. Please comment!

Selection Sort

Warning: This is very glitchy. If you know what the problem is, please tell me. Another sorting algorithm. It will sort a list from smallest to largest. It is a bit more complicated than Bubble Sort, but faster. Thanks Paddle2See for helping me its online glitches

Synthetic Division Calculator

If you know what synthetic division is raise your hand! Change the columns than click on the cats above the variables to change them. Click Go! to solve. Synthetic division is used for the division of polynomials. Here's a link to a detailed explanation of synthetic division. http://www.wtamu.edu/academic/anns/mps/math/mathlab/col_algebra/col_alg_tut37_syndiv.htm Don't get scared because it says it's college algebra. It's high school algebra. It's no longer working online so you may want to download it.

Bubble Sort

This is the similiest way to sort a list. Use it on your projects. Tell me if you use it (I'd like to see your projects).

Star Spangled Banner

Happy 4th of July! The green flag starts it. I made the music note by note, block by block on Scratch. You can use it on your own projects but please give me credit and tell me about it. I hope you like the Scratch cat marching. I thought it was cute!

Revolving Design Maker

This is a design maker that you can control. Click Draw and press and move the mouse. The 3 pens will revolve around the mouse, wherever it goes. Move a large distance, and a straight line will be drawn. Stay in one place and circles will be drawn. Click Edit the change the radii of the circles by moving the green squares. Enjoy and please comment! Tell me what you make! If you want to use my method to draw circles on Scratch, go ahead. If you can, please tell me so I can see your project.
