interactive games

By the time we come back I want to have an interactive shooting game. I was thinking maybe a tank game. There would be powerups and items. I wanted to create it because I have seen games like this that were really popular. I hope to make the next one of those games.

Interactive Program

For my scratch homework, I am going to create a "how to draw" project. I am going to buy a scratch board, and I'm going to put some effects on it as well as a version for people without one. I'm going to put several sections on it such as eyes, 3/4 view (human), and characters. I want to create it because people ask me all the time, "how do you draw that?"

Interactive program

The interactive game that I am going to create is a game about shooting stuff to improve you aim. The game will have stick figures that appear in random spots that you need to hit before they hit you. I want to make it as realistic as I possibly can like when you shoot the car bullet holes will appear in the spots where you shot.

interactive programing

The game that I'm looking forward to making this summer is an interactive game. The concept I hope to have is like a medieval game like with knights and wizards. The reason that want to make this is because I love medieval games.The thing that I love about mid evil games Is the way that it feels when you are leading an army to victory.

Final Project

I am going to make an interactive project about how to kick a soccer ball hard. It actually is harder than it looks. You have to have a proper technique. I will make it interactive by letting you control how hard the sprite kicks the ball. I will use the control tools like the "when button pressed". I will use the if statements to make the sprite kick harder or softer. I want to do this project because I know how to kick a soccer ball hard.

final project

what i am briefly planning to do for my final project is gonna teach how to play one of my favorite games. its going to show how to count your life and attack points. i am also gonna have some interactive material in the game. for example they could go face to face with a sprite that i created that is like a character in the game AND GO ON A journey to find new cards. you could tell the treasure chest to open or make the ghost appear.

Final Project

The interactive program that I am going to build in Scratch for the Final Project is either going to teach spelling or multiplication. I will also use buttons to broadcast and have many different costumes for each sprite to change into. I want to create an interactive spelling or multiplication program because I have a younger brother who enjoys video games, but doesn't understand multiplication and he has trouble spelling. The user or viewer of the program will use buttons and sprites to figure out the answer or how to spell a certain word.

Character Sketches

Today we reviewed three different groups of sketches and they were all very good. I thought that the Scratchy group would be more appealing to younger kids (7-10)because it was more cartoonish than the others. I thought that the Sketchy group was the best. It was very detailed.

drawings

the drawings we saw today were fun because the developers made characters in a diffrent shape and way. my faviorate one was the the schetchy because it was most creaative and actiony. but all of them was good ecept the sratchy because to me they were dull and boring. they were plain and not as colerfull then the others. the sketchy was the most outstanding because they way they were drawn was really cool.

Character Drawings

The character drawings that I reviewed with the developers were all good sketches. I thought that the Scratch group was a bit too cartoonish and too sophisticated. Also, the Sketchy B group looked like they were the villains instead of the spies. The Angled group stood out because it reminded me of movies with the secret agents. Also, it was more boxy. The Sketchy group also stood out more because it was a bit more realistic and reminded me of movies where the spies are normal by day and supers spies by night!!!

Character sketches

I thought that the drawings that we saw today were cool because they all have a meaning. There was one picture that I could not take my eye off of, it was the monkey in the suit. Just something about it made me like it.  He was in a disguise and looked like a businessman. None of the other pictures stood out because they look like the agents that came out of other spy games and this guy looked like he was created like no other spy. 

character reviews

Today we reviewed drawings for characters of an interactive learning game. We had a few styles of drawings and my favorite was sketchy. The others were just to cartoony. The cartoon drawings were more for little kids. Sketchy drawings give it a more actiony feel. It was more attractive to the eye to look at the sketchy drawings than the others.

Character drawings

Today we reviewed character drawings with the developers. They were really good! But the sketchy style drawings stood out most because the shading was mysterious and dark. The others were either too childish or too colorless. The sketchy style made the characters seem more serious, and that's what I look for in a game or show.

scetch,scratch,angled

what i thought of the drawings were that the colors were really dull and not so colorful. i also thought that the drawings are not something that somone would wear. the scetch a and b would be the one that will most likely to worn by someone.
i say this cause it looks similar to something i've seen in stores. but overall this is not something someone in middle school or elementary would wear. nothing was really sticking out to me.

Character animation

Today i reviewed character drawing for a spy game. I thought that they were really cool and really well done. Sketchy style stood out most because it looked most like it was out of a teenager cartoon instead of a little kid cartoon because the characters looked more adolescent than the others which is important to me because i am of that group. all of the others looked like they could have been in the same animation. they were all just too similar for me except for sketchy.

character review

The characters that we reviewed a bunch of characters, they where a mix of different characters such as monkeys and people and gorillas. I think that these characters where not different from the others. What I mean by the same was that all the people had the same looks, and all the monkeys had the same look. The ones that stood out where the rounded people and the rounded monkey. The reason that I think they stood out was because they where bright colors and big. My favorite picture was the sketchy and the reason that I think they where cool was because of the way that that they where drawn.

scratch training

I learned how to animate different characters and things. I also learned how to broadcast different commands. This is cool because it allows me to make more scripts with simple commands. I am now able to make animations and interactive games. I can now improve the projects of others.

Scratch

New and cool things I'm learning on Scratch are signals and bouncing. Signals are helpful in making an interactive project, while bouncing makes it so that the sprite will not fly off the page. I thought that signals were very helpful since I've always wanted to make a dress-up. Bouncing is something I won't use often, but I think it's cool. I think I'm doing way better than when I started.

scratch

Im glad i found a cool program like scratch because iv been looking for a program to make cartoons. I think its a little confusing butr i know once i get the hang of it i will be able to do things quick. I learned how you have to make up an order of things you cartoon has to do and its kind of complicated. I think is just alot like the program i used to program my robot. For the art part its also alot like paint.

Scratch

Scratch is teaching me stuff that is new to others but it is not new to me because I have been testing stuff out and finding something that triggers another thing to change such as a characters color or clothing or something.  It is good to know this stuff because it will help you when creating a game or an animation.

scratch

scratch: scratch was very new and very interesting to me because it was fun to make a mini animation it was also fun to expierament with the different combinations of effects. what was really difficult about the scratch program was it was that it was hard to draw a deasent to drawing. the icons that we used were icons that let change the look and what the character is about do you can also change and color the background. but overall the program was fun.

scratch

Today we worked on scratch and I really enjoyed it. I knew how to do some stuff already because I played around with it on my own ,but we learned more about how you can change the characters and backgrounds. Something that I liked is when we got to use the different buttons that let us change the characters appearance and the background to something else. This kind of showed us a little bit of animation. It was cool making our own sprite and then being able to animate it so that it could move around or say things.

Scratch so far

So far in scratch i have learned how to animate things independently how to create moving objects and objects that respond to the arrow keys and how to add buttons to the screen to create different costume changes. these skills will assist me when i begin t create my portion of the game after in the year.I have seen my skills blossom while working on scratch especially my computer art skills which include drawing and animating.
