Hey everyone, thanks for your help ahead of time. My assignment requires us to draw a recognizable object using the pen feature and at least 3 shapes. I thought a robot would be easiest using rectangles for body, arms, and limbs….triangles for the feet….and circles for the head. But ive been trying for hours and cant seem to make it happen. The assignment requirements are:

When the program is run, the resulting picture is recognizable.

When the green flag is clicked, the stage background identifies the drawing and briefly describes
its components.

The stage background is blank when the drawing begins.

Your picture includes at least 3 different geometric shapes (triangle, circle, square, rectangle,
octagon, pentagon, etc.) that are drawn by the sprite.

Only ONE sprite should be drawing your picture. The SPRITE draws the picture using the PEN.
You must have CODE that draws the geometric shapes.

Wait is used to make it obvious that a geometric shape is being drawn by the sprite.

Broadcast-and-wait blocks are used to divide code into readable parts.

When I receive blocks are used to draw separate parts of the picture. Each block completes one
task.

Loops and variables are used to create code that is easy to follow.

Pen up and pen down are used appropriately.



If anyone could give me a script that would fulfill these requirements so I can see how it was done it would really help me for my assignment and learning the topic for my upcoming quiz. Thanks everyone! my email is (removed by moderator - please don't share contact information) if anyone has any further questions about things i didnt clarify.

Please make sure it is okay with your school and your instructor to ask for help on your assignments here in the forums.

Assuming it is okay, you will get a lot more out of the assignment if you attempt it yourself - share your project so others can see how you are approaching the tasks - then ask for help on the parts that are giving you trouble. Good luck

this uses pen to draw flowers and could be adapted http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/31825244/

thanks powercon!
and yes it is okay with my school and class.

powercon, how would i go about writing a script to make less of the flower and also add a rectangular stalk to the flower and maybe one or two triangular leaves sticking out of the stalk?

what do you mean by less of the flower

less of that same repetitive drawing motion that is adding more umm pedals? to the flower? sorry hard to describe and english is my second language

oh just remove forever and add repeat (number of times )

I recently made a project that draws circles with a diameter you can change. In your case however, you would need to figure out a reasonable diameter so it doesn't take forever to draw. My code doesn't use wait blocks because it takes a while to draw anyways. I realize this might not be the most useful because you already have some shapes in mind, but it could give you an idea on how pens work to draw things.

I don't think I make what you are looking for but I make cat heads!!! and not trying to brag but I'm not that bad
