Scratch practice exercises

Scratch Practice Exercises Practice Exercise #1: The purpose of this assignment is to familiarize you with the Scratch programming environment by creating a simple animated story similar to the cat and dog story For your animated story, be creative and have some fun! You can implement any action or any story with any characters that you find interesting I expect that you will use the broadcast and When I receive blocks to activate scripts across sprites Remember to use good names for the broadcast and receive messages! At a minimum, I expect that your animated story will include: • • • • At least two Sprites You may either draw your own Sprites, use some of the existing Sprites included with Scratch, or import your own images (in jpg or gif format) to make Sprites Each Sprite should contain at least three scripts The scripts should use a variety of blocks from at least the Motion, Looks and Sounds categories Add a background other than white! In your story, you may not use existing code that you find elsewhere, including the Scratch website You may look at the behavior of existing Scratch projects for inspiration, but you should develop all of your code as a completely new project and not modify, re-mix, or build from anyone else's code Save as: Animated Story GO TO NEXT PAGE Choose of the following Activities to complete in Scratch: Activity #1: Create a Pong Game Requirements: Must have a paddle that the user controls with the mouse Must have a ball that moves on its own and bounces off the edges of the world Ball must bounce off the paddle Add Extras: Design a "Breakout" like game where the ball hits bricks in a wall The bricks disappear and score is kept The ball bounces off the paddle in an angle of reflection that is equal to the angle of attack Use random statements to vary the ball angle when it bounces off the paddle Step by Step Pong Directions Activity #2: Spinner Art (Screensaver Program) Requirements: Have a Sprite that spins stamps itself on stage Spinning Sprite glides around to random spots around stage - leaving a stamped trail When "space" key is pressed - the stamp effects clear the stage Add Extras: When "c" key is pressed - the colors of the Stamper Sprite change Give use to other keys to change the Stamper Sprite's costume Sample of Spinner Art Program Sample of Spinner Art Program Activity #3: Growing Flowers Requirements: Have a Sprite that creates a stem and flower when clicked Use Pen and color change to create colored flowers Add Extras: When "c" key is pressed - the screen clears Make a stage background with grass and sky Sample of Flower Art Program Activity #4: Racing Game Requirements: A Race Car that the user controls with the arrow keys for direction and speed A simulated road with a striped line down the center showing "speed" and "motion" of car Puddles or other obstacles for the car to avoid Add Extras: Other Race Cars to pass during the game When the user's Race Car touches a puddle or other cars, the Race Car "spins out of control." ...Choose of the following Activities to complete in Scratch: Activity #1: Create a Pong Game Requirements: Must have a paddle that the user controls
