Scratch

This week, we used "Scratch" which was very fun. I actually knew how to use it, because it was not that hard to learn but it was probably to understand the functions of each command. In all truth, I missed out on how to make a keyboard because I was not here on Friday, I was at the Austin Film Festival. It was fun, sort of because I received some bad news while I was there but I cheered up, a little. But on Thursday, I was able to make my sprites "sing" and by sing I mean utter noises and sounds in a rhythmic fashion. Technically I just combined two  or three different tunes and then just said that was a song. Well, it was a song, it had music...and a wolf howling. Whatever. I also made a scene with broadcast. It was sort of making of play and that you write the dialogue. Basically you use the "looks" section and then choose "say _________ for __ seconds" and then your sprite will say something for said amount of minutes. Somehow it ended up being a story about a loan shark and a victim who did not have the money. The loan shark was going to break the kneecaps of the victim, but the story sort of ended there which may be good. In any case, I had fun with Scratch and that's it for this week.
