Lab 1

If you enrolled in advance (not an add) your account should have already been built for you. Your user name and password are the same as you use for http://my.calpoly.edu.

You will take a number of surveys in your first year here with us. We use these to continually improve our courses.
Take this survey now: Pre-123

Explore Scratch with a partner. You may need to use Remote Desktop Client to cslwin.csc.calpoly.edu to find Scratch. Use a wide variety of Scratch features including control structures, motion, variables, sensing, operators. Try to build things such as:

Create a pong game. Use a variable to keep score. Earn a point when the ball hits the edge behind the other player. First one to 5 wins. Add a sound when someone wins.
Create a joke animation. Reveal the punch line through a change of costume.
Scratch resources if you need help:

Create a welcome screen that displays for 4 seconds before the game begins. Include your two names at the bottom.
Create a main sprite that depicts a water vehicle (e.g. kayak, surfboard, wakeboard)
Create a water scene that depicts water motion (e.g. waves rolling in, riding in a wake)
Create at least four obstacles that must be avoided (e.g. rocks, seals, buoys)
Create at least one prize that is desirable to pick up/touch (e.g. drowning child); distinguish the prize with a yellow border around it
Create a variable that counts how many prizes are collected
Create a variable that counts how water hazards are hit
Add a variable that acts as a timer, incrementing once each second
Animate the scene so that:

the user controls the water vehicle with left and right arrow keys
the obstacles randomly appear and move along the scene, then disappear out of sight
the prize and hazard variables increment appropriately when prizes and hazards are hit
if the player ever hits more hazards than prizes, then the game stops and says 'Your time is' and shows the number of seconds when the game stopped
all variables get reset to 0 when the game restarts

Copy in an image of the condition logic and mechanism you used to determine whether to end the game, then explain it in your own words.
Optional: create a Scratch account, upload your Scratch project to your Scratch account, place a link to your Lab 1 Scratch game (above).

Customize your home page. Include at least one image (could be your picture), and some text that describes yourself or this class. Remember, others will see this.
Add the URL to your e-portfolio here.
Either make your e-portfolio visible to "anyone with the link" or "private." If you make it private, add Dr. Janzen (david.s.janzen (at) gmail.com) as a permitted viewer. (see More Actions->Sharing and Permissions)
