MY SECOND WEEK OF SCRATCH AT ALGOBASE

As I said, before my name is Hadassah Ohanugo and I started learning scratch with Algobase 2 weeks ago. I learnt more new things during this past week including:

1. Coordinates and Conditionals ( x and y axis): The x and y axis make it possible for the sprite to move upwards and downwards, left and right. For instance, if I were to set my x axis to 100, my sprite would move to the right, and if I were to set my x axis to -100, my sprite would move to the left. The same goes with the y axis, 100 makes it go up and -100 makes it go down.

I also created a game of tag using the x and y axis explained above. For example, if my two sprites were to be a cat and a mouse consecutively, I could say, if the mouse should touch the cat, it would say "Oh no" for maybe 2-3 seconds meaning that the cat caught the mouse there fore the score would increase by 1.

1. Iteration( Drawing with dots): Once you learn how to draw a line, drawing a dotted line would be a piece of cake. So when the dotted line is drawn, you could increase the size of the dot or you could change the colour of the dots or you could just get creative.

Under Iteration, we have drawing big shapes, which is, when you draw a shape, lets say a pentagon, you could draw a bigger pentagon outside of the one you just drew, or you could even draw 10 pentagons bigger than the one you originally drew. You could also change the colour of the bigger pentagons.

Also, under Iteration, we have drawing flowers using scratch. So you could draw different flowers with different shapes and different colours. You could do a big flower with lots of colours or a small black flower depending on your choice.

This is a summary of what I have been taught / what I have learnt this past week. It has been a very great experience in which I loved. I cannot wait to learn new things during this week.
