This is a sound controlled art program, using the microphone on your computer! When you click the Green Flag, the program will start. As you speak or make sounds, the ball will draw patterns on the screen. - The up and down arrows control the 'volume' or how big the lines are. - The left and right arrows control the angle that the lines are drawn ... try values like 179, 135, 90, 45, 5, 1 and other odd numbers. - The 'c' key will clear the pen at any time. - The 'a' key will toggle auto-clearing of the pen every 5 seconds. - The 'q' key will stop the scripts. At anytime you can grab the sprite ball and drag it somewhere else on the screen. When you make the angle a smaller number, you'll have to turn down the volume also! Try different combinations!

Apparently this doesn't get contact with the microphone when on the web. Anyone know how to get that working (probably something in Java). (I also came from itconversations, where he fortunately mentioned this problem.)
This is something really neat to try with my students (1st grade-6th grade). Thanks for the reference on ITC.
I found your project through your podcast: http://itc.conversationsnetwork.org/shows/detail3422.html Great review of Scratch! Thanks. Yes, Scratch was inspired by EToys developed by Alan Kay's group.
Neat!
