Scratch Revisions

Scratch Revisions

I had a Scratch malfunction when uploading my Scratch Final Redo to the EDUC 6814 Gallery on the Scratch website. I wasn't aware that not changing the name on the upload form in the Scratch Application would cause the new game to override my old game. So, while my comments are still on the first game, the new game also took that game's place. My Scratch Redo is uploaded twice. Once on the game from last week, and once in a new game. 

I made the following revisions to my Scratch project based on peer feedback:

1. It was suggested that I figure out how to have the Sprite broadcast the shapes name in the second level, and I figured it out, after remixing scripts from Scratch games that I found after searching through the Scratch website.

2. It was suggested that I add background music to my game. I found a song called "Shapes" by TLC for Kids on iTunes, and applied it to my game. The game is shorter than the song, but the song plays the entire duration of the game, and finishes on the last screen. Assuming you don't "x" out of it when the game is over, or hit the stop button, you'll be able to hear the entire song.

3. It was suggested that the Sprite called out colors as she came upon a new shape. I took a different approach, but basically used the same idea. Instead of having the Sprite call out the shape color, the shapes now say, "I'm a GREEN CIRCLE" and "I'm a BLUE RECTANGLE" when the Sprite comes in contact with it.

4. This revision that I made to my game wasn't based on peer feedback. I added a third level to the game. On the second level, the Sprite asks for names of shapes, and on the third, she asks for the colors of the shapes. 

This game would be a great game to use in a preschool, and the song I added adds the extra flair that I think the project needed. It's a catchy little song, and I, unfortunately, have it stuck in my head.
