Catch the flying fruit (plan)

Catch the flying fruit (plan)

Last lesson we were told to plan out game using these three screens below...

These are my plans for my welcome screen and my main playing screen for my scratch games. 

Welcome screen: My welcome screen includes the catchy name, "Catch the flying fruit".  I drew a basket and  fruits flying like crazy birds!! I also have a sound button which would tell the viewer if the sound is on or off.  I have three options including play, how to play(instructions) and options (e.g. shop)

Main playing screen: My main playing screen is bright and it is set as a picnic screen.  The aim of the game is to catch as many of the flying fruits as you can. Each fruit is classed as one point. In the game, it will have a mega fruit which is the most important fruit to catch with your basket. There will be more information about this fruit in how to play.


Game over screen: Lastly I have the game over screen.  This screen will determine your final score.  Also it includes options like: share(if you want to share your score with your friends or family), play again and shop(buy new fruits or update your game to the next level.

 

scratch picnic description

A brief description
Last lesson I was told to make a game with a theme of a picnic. I drew a bright coloured background with a bold and bright yellow sun and a light blue sky.  I attempted to draw fruit in a basket to go with my picnic setting.  We were told to answer a question saying "Why do we name our sprites and costumes"? We name our sprites and costumes because it make our work more organised and neat rather than trying to figure out which sprite is which!!

Programming on scratch

A comparison

Last ICT lesson I was programming on scratch.  I compared the 2 instructions and this is my result...

The first instruction was to make my avatar count from 1- 10 in order.  This took longer than expected.  On my second instruction it was faster and quicker for my avatar to count though I thought it was a bit more complex. I think the second instruction was more efficient because like I said, it took a faster and quicker way to make my avatar (in this case my ghost avatar)speak/count.  The first time I was asked to do this, I came up with the first instruction and I duplicated the process to make it faster and this was more straightforward.  Even though the second option was a bit more complex in the way of having different tools I still think that it was the best option.

The cookie monster's tips for online safety

To the younger generation, the internet is just an easy way to share pictures or videos with friends or family members online.  But, there are disadvantages of sharing something you might even regret.  Whenever you're in need for help, always talk to someone about it, whether it's a family member, a friend, classmate or even a teacher.  I'm sure they would be willing to help the situation you're in. If you're online about to share a picture of some sort, always think to yourself, "would I put this on a billboard"?  If you don't think of this question, it could lead you down a very rocky path to embarrassment. There is one rule that I am sure many people have heard, to never give away your passwords.  Whenever you share your password with anyone, its automatically going to be a major mistake.  I have heard many stories regarding young people online, who talk to someone who says that they are the same age as you. In many cases this is a lie.  The person you talk to could seem to be around your age, but could be a lot older or younger.  Never trust anyone online and definitely don't befriend a stranger.  Always think about what your going to post and see if it's suitable or anything you might regret in the future.  Do not, under any circumstances, give your personal information away, like I said your can't trust anyone!  Many people have opinions, including you. Respect people's views online even if you don't agree with them.  Remember the saying, "treat people the way you would want to be treated".
