Lab Overview

In this lab, the task was to create 6 different sprites and have them all move at once in different directions to form a hexagon. It requires you to know how use the coordinate system and code for the sprite to go to the exact coordinate you want it to go to.

My Solution

My solution to find out the coordinates where the sprite could be that would make the shape of a hexagon. I found the coordinates after doing a little bit of math and commanded each sprite to move together to their repesctive coordinates.

Lab Overview

In this lab, the task was to create your own sprite and several different costumes for the sprite. I used the art tools provided by Scratch to make the sprite and the different costumes.

My Solution

My solution to this probelm was to draw 3 different costumes using the art tools. I wanted to make it seem like the sprite was moving so I made his costumes have different arm shapes. So when the program runs, it cycles through the arm movements and kind of looks likes he is waving.

Lab Overview

In this lab, the sprite had to move to one side of the screen, rotate, then move to the other side in a clockwise motion. The program required you to use the coordinate system to make the sprite go to the coordinates and make it look like he is moving around the screen.

My Solution

My solution was to use the coordinate system to find out exactly which coordinates the sprite needed to go around the screen. First I found the coordinates of one corner of the screen, made the sprite go there, then made the sprite turn 90 degrees to rotate.
