Do you think that you could make visual basic tutorials? I would love to know how to program in that. Is Java (the program) free? I figured I would ask you since you seem to know the most about it, and even have your own tutorials. Thanks for answering!
I probably could write VB.net tutorials. However, I have a limited amount of time available and VB.net isn't high on my priority list.
Yes, Java is completely free. It is also extremely powerful and is the language currently adopted by the College Board for the Advanced Placement exams by which high-school students gain advanced standing in computer science curricula in most colleges and universities. In my opinion, Java would be a much better investment of your time than VB.net (although VB.net is very useful in its own right).
Download the 2 sprites and 5 scripts of "Perspective02" and open it in Scratch
Project Notes
You must download and run this program locally to get it to run properly. It won't run properly in the online Scratch viewer
This project is being published as part of a series of tutorial lessons (Google dick baldwin toc) under the heading Computer Programming for Homeschool Students. Click the green flag to start or restart the program.
This program is a non-interactive animation. The animation tells the story of a young boy who is lost on the moon. He wanders around trying to find his way. Various animation tricks are used to create an illusion of perspective.
This program is very similar to the program named Perspective01. However, in that program, the boy continually moves away from the camera. In this version, the boy wanders back and forth in a truly random fashion. Sometimes he moves towards the camera and sometimes he moves away from the camera.
