Script to send an email?

cobright

This might be way beyond the scope of this language.

I'm writing a math practice game for my daughter. When a certain score is reached I would like it to send me an email or create some sort of persistent record of it. This is so I know that she is practicing often enough but lets her practice on her own schedule.

Anything?

There is no way for emails to be sent since Scratch was only intended to teach the concepts of programming, not be used for real programming, though there is a way to “create some sort of persistent record of it.”

Before I say, will your daughter be using the same account as you?

Also, hello cobright (&your daughter) and welcome to Scratch! I wish you both many great times here.

With respects,

Yes. She's 9 and fairly trustworth with regards to not getting in and mucking about. My first thought was simply to monitor the usage of the program, but I don't think that will tell me how many times she reached the winning score.

Real programming language or not, I was able to muddle through and come up with a simple fun flash card program that I can customize the graphics on.

feel free to peek it at http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/11592863/#player

I have a feeling most of this could probably be done in a tenth the number of lines.

And it's still really rough

Cheers!

Maybe not a tenth of the code, but it could certainly be reduced. Still, it's a good program and should be fun!

Anyway, I noticed a little bug in your program. I was getting some duplicate answers, like 13, 15, 15. You might want to fix that.

Also, about your original question. This should be fairly simple if you always have your daughter play in the Scratch editor. If she does, then you can simple create a list called “Progress” and add this code to your project:

when gf clicked
wait until <not <(score) < [Some amount that the score needs to be to be recorded]>>
if <(username) = >
add (join(score)(join[: ](join(current [year v])(join[-](join(current [month v])(join[-](join(current [day v])(join[-](join(current [hour v])(join [-](current [minute v])))))))))) to [Progress v]
end

Blank Line
Sorry if that looked like a complicated mess. I could make a sample project with this code if you wanted, though don't forget, this only works only if your daughter plays in the Scratch editor. If you'd like a bit more flexibility, meaning you can play outside of the editor and on the project page itself, then you'll have to sacrifice the simplicity of the above code.

With regards,

end

make sure its a cloud variable.

If you're playing from the editor (and you're the creator of the project), then changes to variables will automatically be saved, cloud or no. So it doesn't have to be a cloud variable. Besides, that is a list, not a variable.

Yes actually I was toying around with that. I had, and may revive, a little instruction stating that if two friends give the same answer then its a matter of chance which one is right. This is a cop out I know, but like I said, I'm a bit of a dilettante at this.

I do understand your fix for my problem though, thank you.

I noticed that bug too. Anyway, I looked at the project and it ROCKED!!! It was very good and I thing Disney was a good addition to it. Disney is the best thing in the world!

The signature is a joke. You don't have to do it.

Please don't necropost. That's not a scripting question and why should Scratch be using Gmail?

Why post this on someone else's old help topic? For the most part those helping here are volunteers and not members of the Scratch Team. I suggest you find a more apprpriate forum.

if your sister has scratcher rank,you can use cloud data and if username=yoursister blocks.

Your post has nothing to do with Help with Scripts and doesn't belong here.

Still doesn't belong here. Use the Contact Us option to contact the Scratch Team - most people here are volunteers helping with scripting and nothing to do with your problem.

It might not be your problem but it's mine and many people that use Scratch find it as a problem.

This may be true, however, this is a forum for help with scripts, and as far as I'm concerned, contacting the Scratch Team about personal issues is, suprisingly, not a script. Furthermore, this is someone else's topic from 2013, and it is completely unrelated to reported people. If you need help for a relevant issue, please create a new topic instead of necroposting on someone else's. Additionally, that last piece of argument had no citation. It would be more convincing if you had proof that it was a problem for many Scratch users. Not that it would belong here, anyways.
Also, everything that deck26 stated was correct, and arguing about things like these will rarely create desirable outcomes for anyone.
Thank you for understanding.

How about adding her achievements to a list so you can look at her triumphs? Like, when she answers 20 correct answers in a row, it adds that to a list of achievements?

You can even program an achievement page with little indicators of whether she's earned them yet.

Maybe you can program an activity monitor that records the date and time when she starts the project.

This topic is old and is unlikely still to be a problem.
