Scratch

I first started using scratch 1 year ago, when I was 9. A MIT Graduate came to our class specifically to teach us. She taught us how to make animations and import and create new sprites. But when I say animations, I mean stuff like: (Hello, My name is...). Not even broadcasts, hide or show or anything apart from flag clicked, say, play sound. Anyway, I soon got bored of scratch, along with my class mates.

6 months later.

So school gets BORING. I go home one day, and for some reason download scratch. I got annoyed but when I right clicked the:

<( 0 <>> 0 )>

and selected the help button, I found a score variable. This is a finding help me discover all of scratch. I created a variable, put it in but I couldnt understand what the value of 'score' standed for. I got bored, saved my findings, but what's this, examples? I opened:

Fruit Craft RPG.

I studied this project but could still not understand the ways of the variable. The next day, I opened a tutorial on scratch on the internet, and checked the variable section. It talked about the variable value and had on it:

A variable reports the value of itself. The variable can be set to other reporters and be changed by the set and change by block.

It then showed me a video and I then understood, most of scratch.


8 months on:

2 months ahead of variables now. I now started studying projects, understanding what they meant. I started by experimenting and combining blocks. But I knew nothing about booleans... . I was then focusing on numbers, looks, pen and sensing then.


9 months on:

I now understand pen and looks, but not Numbers and Sensing. So I now completely focus on numbers, as I am good at maths.


10 months on:

I now understand most of numbers, and very little of sensing, such as the ask and answer. At least i'm making progress.


11 months on:

I now completely know all categories, and start making projects, unaware that you can upload to the scratch website.


12 months on:

my 1st year using scratch, Got myself a Scratch Account too! Upload a few projects, but no-one ever sees them 

13 months on:

I make advanced projects. Nothing has pretty much changed.


14 months on:

Now in year 5, excited too!


15 months on:

Getting slightly bored of Scratch, so I took a break.


16 months on:

Back to normal and love scratch. And I make my first school project, but never had the time to show it to my teacher, well she didn't ask us to do one.

17 months on (Now):

Currently now. Made my second project, and the only one in the class to get 2 golds stars! Everybody else got 1 or none! Tough luck powerpoint and paper!
