      <title>Fling Ball 1</title> 
      <link>http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/danp357/92853</link> 
      <description>This is a simulation where you can &quot;fling&quot; the ball around. Grab the ball with the mouse, then quickly move it and release it. Its speed will depend on how far from the starting place you move it and how fast you move it. It will bounce off the walls, and leave a trail to show how it moved. Click the green flag to remove trails.</description>

      <title>Simple Calculator 2.0</title> 
      <link>http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/danp357/87693</link> 
      <description>This is a simple calculator. It can add, subtract, multiply, or divide multiple digit numbers. Fully enter the first number, then hit &quot;Equals.&quot; Enter the second number, and then the operation. Remember to click the &quot;C&quot; (clear) after each equation.



This calculator cannot yet handle negative numbers, but the next version will. It does not support decimal answers either. I suggest not using division unless you know that the answer will come out whole. Only supports answers up to 9,999,999. It also is currently incapable of chaining problems together. You will have to press &quot;C&quot; between equations.



Version three is coming soon!</description>

      <title>Simple Calculator</title> 
      <link>http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/danp357/79525</link> 
      <description>This is a simple calculator. It can add, subtract, multiply, or divide two one-digit numbers. Remember to click the &quot;C&quot; (clear) after each equation. Also, there is no feedback until you press the equals sign; the number or operation has been stored! Pressing more than 2 numbers results in an error.

Please suggest ways to make it better (e.g. multiple digits per number, more than 2 numbers in one equation, memory).</description>

      <title>Trick Loading Bar 1.0</title> 
      <link>http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/danp357/69753</link> 
      <description>This project simulates a very slow loading computer. If you like it, give it a love it, and I may make a more realistic version.
See what happens when you click the X box!</description>

      <title>Rock Paper Scissors - V 20071217a</title> 
      <link>http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/danp357/68850</link> 
      <description>This is a simple game of Rock Paper Scissors. To play, click the green flag and then click an object or the 'random' button in the upper left corner. The computer will counter with one of the three objects. After each round, the judge will announce the results and change the scores, which are shown at the top. The variables at the bottom are simple. First, Outcome: gives the results for the prevoius match. 0 is a tie, 1 is a win, and -1 is a loss. Winner in your wins minus your opponent's wins. The &quot;brightness&quot; setting changes the color of the background, it can go from black to blue. Very important: this game uses a basic form of AI to decide its moves. It is smart, but there is a limit. If you want to learn how the AI works, download the project and read the code of the &quot;Desicion Maker&quot; sprite.Also, there are now difficulty levels. 1 is random, 2 is the computer's basic strategy, and 3 is the super strategy. Enjoy!THINGS I'LL IMPROVE NEXT VERSION: I don't know what to do next, except that it could use some better graphics and a difficulty selection. PLEASE suggest changes!Remember, I'm commited to making sure that this game stays fair and balanced for the computer and player!!</description>

      <title>Rock Paper Scissors - V 20071215a</title> 
      <link>http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/danp357/67871</link> 
      <description>This is a simple game of Rock Paper Scissors. You are the object on the left (it will only appear during game play). Click a Move in the upperleft corner to play that move. The computer is the object on the right, and is your opponent. It will use your last two moves to determine its own for this turn. The scores are recorded in the top row of variables. Your last moves and the computer's move are in the variables in the middle. Outcome discribes who is the winner, and the &quot;winner?&quot; is basically your score minus the score of the computer. The arrow above this variable refelts that data by pointing to the winner. The 'brightness' variable changes the shade of gray on the playing area. Last thing: reset scores by pressing the green flag again.THINGS I'LL IMPROVE NEXT VERSION: Next, I'll give the computer multiple strategies to mix things up a bit.Remember, I'm commited to making sure that this game stays fair and unbiased toward the computer and player!!</description>

      <title>Rock Paper Scissors - V 20071214a</title> 
      <link>http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/danp357/67402</link> 
      <description>This is a simple game of Rock Paper Scissors. You are the object on the left. Use the arrows up and down to select the rock, paper, or scissors. The computer is the object on the right, and is your opponent. For now, it only chooses a random object to fight you with. The scores are recorded in the top row of variables. Outcome discribes who is the winner, and the &quot;winner?&quot; is basically your score minus the score of the computer. The arrow above this variable refelts that data by pointing to the winner. When &quot;Random mode ON&quot; is pressed, the game will start playing the games really fast, no player input neccessary, to test to see if it's fair. It can be pressed again to turn random mode off. The 'brightness' variable changes the shade of gray on the playing area. Last thing: reset scores by pressing the green flag again.


THINGS I'LL IMPROVE NEXT VERSION: Next, I'll make the computer have a strategy, and not be just random. The game will still be fair, of course, just harder.</description>

      <title>Dizzy Cat V1.2</title> 
      <link>http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/danp357/61698</link> 
      <description>Press the Green Flag to see the cat make some art. I used random numbers to make it not go in a perfect circle. New Feature: Change the range of angles that the cat may turn. He will always turn between the sqrt of LowEnd and the sqrt of HighEnd. You can also change the line width. I hope that someone will find a use for this!

NOTE: This has the Scratch 1.2 BETA square root function in it, so it will likely not work properly if downloaded into Scratch 1.1.</description>

      <title>Dizzy Cat - Version 1.1</title> 
      <link>http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/danp357/61691</link> 
      <description>Press the Green Arrow to see the cat make some art. I used random numbers to make it not go in a perfect circle. New Feature: You can drag the cat around on the page to draw multiple circles. There is also a clear button. I hope that someone will find a use for this!NOTE: This has the Scratch 1.2 BETA square root function in it, so it will likely not work properly if downloaded into Scratch 1.1.</description>

      <title>The Keybord - Version 1.0</title> 
      <link>http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/danp357/61648</link> 
      <description>This is a keyboard project I made so that I could play music with out a real piano. (Please comment with suggestions!)

Anyways: the all important controls. The home row letters (ASDFGHJKL) play notes on the selected instrument. Change the instrument by moving the instrument slider on the screen. There are also 3 kinds of background music you can play in the background and a STOP background music button found in the 'background music' box. Both the keyboard and the background have slider volume controls. The duration of the notes can be changed with the duration slider. (Note: It's in tenths of a second.) Press space to toggle the rythemic clapping. You can change the time between claps in 100ths/sec with the clapping delay slider. There are alos shortcut keys (Q and P change keyboard volume and W and O toggle instrument.). The other top row keys play various drums, and Z and X play dog barks (lol). That's all.


VARIATION: You could easily change this into some typing teacher program, 
I think. You could replace the drums with someone saying the letter that's being pressed. If you want to change this, do by all means! This is only a first release, I will give the CVBNM keys functions and probably the number keys too in the next release.

NOTE: This uses the Scratch 1.2 BETA Comment feature, so may not work so well being edited in scratch 1.1!! Again, please comment with suggestions!</description>
