Using a makey-makey

A makey-makey acts and is a keyboard. It’s only a little simpler, instead of lots of buttons, the makey-makey only has six that I know of. These are the keys, up, down, left and right arrow, space key, and click.

I’d give my makey-makey to you guys to try it for yourselves, but I can’t. So imagine that when you press the up arrow, you’re pressing a button on the makey-makey. You’d press a piece of a paperclip that was connected with a wire to the up arrow on the makey-makey, and something will happen in scratch.

My project was based on my favorite series, Warriors. It’s about cats and Bramblestar vs The Sisters is one of my favorite battles. I learned how to use a makey -makey while creating this project, and the hardest part of creating it, was getting the sprites to go where I wanted them to go, how fast I wanted them to get there, and if I wanted them to look different there, how to make them look like the way I wanted them to. They were my main challenges, and I overcame them by trial and error, and lots of redoing.

To my surprise, I made almost no changes from my original plan, and if I could do it all over again, I’d spend more time working on it in the beginning of this project so that I can make it longer and more detailed. However, I’m still very proud that I managed to make a pretty long project, about 30 seconds. It might not seem very long, but it took about 3 hours to make(Planning not included).

Anyway, here’s the link to my project, press the up arrow, then down, then left then right, then space. It was pressing paperclips, but you can’t press them. So yeah, have fun trying it out!

This post is all about my latest project in scratch. One of my classmates gave me the idea for this project. While creating this project I learned about this awesome thing called brodcasting. It can make one sprite do somthing that will tell the next sprite to do something else. Using that was probally the hardest part, along with drawing the backrounds and editing the charecters. A tip, if you ever get stumped while broadcasting, either add more code or create a new brocast block and work with that instead. If I could do it again, I’d make the tree-climbing look more real. I’m really proud that I got this all to work. Again, here’s my project.

This is my animated name, It’s pretty fun to watch the letters move around. Try to click the letters, each one does somthing different. Two of the letters move around without you doing anything to them, I worked pretty hard on that part. The link is right here,  my name game. That’s all for today.

Hi, my name is Soraya, I’m a student at Quest Academy. I love cats and learning new things. I don’t really have a favorite subject because I love them all. Just so you know, I’m into riddles and jokes. That’s a little about me.
