Introduction to Scratch

Sept 10 2018

Scratch is a coding program that you can use to make games, quizzes etc. Scratch gives you prompts to make a sprite to do different things on the output screen. When making your scratch projects, you can use images from the entire internet. There are endless possibilities when it comes to just making your characters looking the way you want. The thing that I like the most about scratch is that you have prompts to make the coding of your project slightly easier. The thing that I don’t like about scratch is that it feels like a puzzle game. When doing coding, I like the feel of a real coding program like processing.

Day 9-16 Processing

Jan 24 2019

Days 9-16 in processing are what i think are the most important parts of processing, for what i have learned so far. In days 9-16, we have learned about math ratios and variables, text output and Boolean, selection if/if else, random integers and mouse events, loops, and functions. There were also some assignments as well. My favorite was day 15 when we did loops. The thing that I like about doping loops is what you can do with loops. You can make snow flakes with a snowman. You can set the amount of snowflakes to a specific number. You can make an image do something over and over again.

Processing

We have started doing processing in our computer science class. Its more complicated than scratch but it is fun at the same challenging. It is also tedious at times repeating stuff over and over again for some of the stuff in processing. One of my favorite things in processing is doing “random”. This part of processing is cool because you get to make things that have endless possibilities. Another thing that I liked is “color”. I like this part of processing because colors are an important part of drawing in processing. One more thing that I like is “setup and draw”. I like this because it’s like having an infinite loop in scratch but in processing

Today we started using scratch. Scratch is a cool coding website where you can use different pieces of code to do cool things. I think it is a really cool thing. It can let you be very creative with what you do when using the website.

Today we learned about input and output on scratch. Input and output on scratch is telling your sprite on scratch what to do with the code you are given by scratch.
