Fianl Reflection
I started by coming up with ways to change the game from its original start. This way it would give me a brainstorm and list of ideas that would act like a draft. Next, I dove right into the project and began putting some of my ideas on the code. Everything came along nicely for the most part,but it took some trial and error to figure out how to change the background after a score was reached. I realized I was using a code similar to the correct one, but it was incorrect so I had to change it in order to get it to work. I tested the game one little part at a time rather the whole thing at the end. I learned how to do this when I watched the video on broadcasting because the guy doing it showed us that if you check all your work at the end, and something did not work...then you would have to go back and fix everything leading up to that point. In the end everything seemed to work in my test run and I was able to post it successfully.

Project Overvierw
The purpose of the game I am making for my final project is to try and get the ghost to eat the fish without getting intro trouble with the shark and orange. The orange will make you lose points and so will the shark, and to get to new levels you need to get higher scores.When the points reach specific amount,the level will go up and the background will change. I had some trouble figuring out why I could not get the level to change, so I still need to find a way. It seems that the code is not going through but I put a code using the "if and then" block to say, if the score reache3s a certain limit, then change the background.It did not work,so hopefully I can figure out how to get the process to work.

Reflection De-bug it
The most challenging one in my opinion was the third one because there was a lot of broadcasting that you had to do, which can get confusing. Also, a lot of things that I did on that had trial and error processes that did not always work. The easiest one was the one where we had to change the dinosaur because it was the same process that worked for each background. One of the strategies I used was trial and error because it would get me to an answer pretty quickly and I could see the progress I made, which was helpful.

Try It Scratch Program
The 3 decisions I put on the scratch program for this project were the sprite to change color, get bigger and smaller, and bump into another sprite and say, "excuse me". I attempted a few others, but they were a lot harder so I went to some of the easier ones first. This project as not as fun as the others but I still enjoyed it.

Background Change
when changing the background in Scratch, I had the challenge of finding a way to get the background to flow with the rest of the project. It was a little hard at first to find out how to do that,but I used broadcast and other tools to make it flow. This was a more fun project than the other because it was different. Overall I thought it was a good way of using differer1nt tool that we have learned in the pat and new ones that we are using and find how they connect.

Broadcast scratch
<iframe allowtransparency="true" width="485" height="402" src="http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/embed/23206947/?autostart=false" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
The broadcasting technique is a little difficult to figure out at first, but once you do it a few times you get the hang of it. I realized that it was a continues thing and that it would only work if you included all the parts. It is simple to use in a way because you do not need to use the wait block or time how long the sprites say something. You can just use broadcast to tell when the next sprite will say its line.

The make a block project was one of the more fun ones for me because we were able to do whatever we wanted, as long as we included the block. For me this will allow us to be more creative and let us more exciting things. One thing I did was I added the music to make the project more interesting.That was another example of making things my own when we can do whatever we want.

De-Bug It Reflection
The De-Bug It challenges were very easy for me in the beginning because I was able to recognize the mistakes fairly quickly. Some of them I was able to use some tools I have already learned, like the first three, but in the last two I needed to guess and check. I used guess and check because it would help me get closer to a result that I wanted. It was not as quick but with trial and error I knew I could reach the goal eventually.

10 Block Challenge
<iframe allowtransparency="true" width="485" height="402" src="http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/embed/22933849/?autostart=false" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
The 10 block challenge was a fun way of starting this scratch program because it would limit you only to specific things. If there was one block that I really wanted to use, but couldn't, I would need to find a different block or two that match what I was looking for.
The video was helpful because it showed us some tools that we can use for future projects that we create. They will be better than before and we can keep up with the problem solving and learning processes.

Scratch-1
<iframe allowtransparency="true" width="485" height="402" src="http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/embed/22878653/?autostart=false" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Things that were surprising about the activity were that it was a lot easier than what I thought it would be. It was easier because the codes tell you exactly what your sprite would do and allows you to code very specific things for certain amounts of time.
Being led step by step was helpful because I have never used the program before. It was able to help me and show me anything that I needed and the tips would do that too. The program never was confusing and if there was anything that I had trouble with I could use the examples shown to help me.
I would prefer to have more structure when working with something fairly new because it will help me get a better understanding of what I am doing. I like having more freedom when comfortable with a structure because I know what I am doing is correct and looks good. This also goes for when I want to be most creative because if I know what I am doing then it will be better for me and more fun for me to be creative.

WebPage Comments
I thought that the webpage was a fun, but challenging task to complete. Some of my storyboard was hard to put onto the page because codes didn't always work. I found some corrections on the codes that I needed in order to get the page to work, but sometimes the codes that I put in did not always work, which was frustrating. Overall I thought that the webpage was not to hard, but some parts, like figuring out why a code would not appear on the page, were hard.

Website Final
The NBA playoffs are rolling right along, and right now some favorites for the championship are definitely the Miami Heat and either the San Antonio Spurs or Oklahoma City Thunder.
All these teams have superstar talent and each member of the teams look for ways they can get their team to the top.
\The Brooklyn Netslook to take hold on to their chancesa little bit longer by taking one game at a time.
If they do this the team will have a better chance of getting to the next round.
Lebron James
If I had to pick a team to win, I would want the Heat to win. LeBron James is arguably the best player in the league, and he is a true leader. I think that he is worthy of another title and should be able to bring home the gold once again.
The Clippers in my opinion have the best chance in the Western division because of the dominant forces of Blake Griffen and Chris Paul. Along with previous Celtics coach, Doc Rivers, they could possibly get to the finals and maybe even win it all.

Piano
For the past 8 years, I have been playing piano. It is a lot of fun and one of my favorite things to do. I am starting a new band and the guys in the group are a lot of fun to play with, and are very talented. I hope to continue with music for a long time, and hopefully for the rest of my life.
Sports with friends
Another really fun thing I enjoy doing is hanging out with my friends. One way we can all get along together really well is by playing sports. We always go down to the park and play basketball or baseball. Everything that we do is fun and I am glad I have really good friends.
Most of my friends have grown up with me from when I was young, but a lot of knew kids who I have met over the years I have come to like and want to hangout with. High school is very fun so far and I hop it will stay this way for the next few years.End

In this assignment, I made the three changes to the website, NBA.com. I thought this was a lot of fun and I decided to take Spongebob characters and put them in the headlines on NBA.com. Once you figured out how to remix some pages you were able to do it a lot easier.

Mozilla Thimble
Yesterday's class and today's class we began to work with Mozzila Thimble. I liked Mozilla because we were able to connect our hobbies and things we like to the Memes that we made. Some of it was a little difficult to find at first, but once you do about 3 or 4 you get used to it.
