INSPIRATION
This project was inspired by a few things. First, I was reading online about how many casualties there were in the war between USA and Iraq and I was really shocked at how many people had died. Then, a fellow student of mine, Alyssa, made a project called Cherry Blossoms
http://cherryb.notlong.com
about civilian casualties in Iraq. Also, it's almost tax day in the USA.
EXPLANATION
Each black, white and red fish represents about 30,000 Iraqi casualties. Each red, white, and blue fish represents about 3,000 USA casualties. The numbers are counting from March 2003 to March 2007. The numbers aren't exact but they're very close, and it gives you the idea.

yes, I agree. millions of dead Iraqi civilians and innocent soldiers, a few thousand dead American soldiers, who no one has any say in who they shoot

(view all replies)I agree with mohlar!
An excellent idea. Well worth studying for anyone who wants to use Scratch for some non-game animation.
thanks zippzom, i found the 3d fish by searching on google images for fish and gif
I like the idea too jay
where does everyone find the 3-d fish
cool graphics
Is it the way the fish move, or the concept of the fish representing the people, or something else that you don't understand? I'll be happy to try to explain.
