Final Project: Final Reflection (Part 3)

Overall, I found the scratch final project to fun interesting and fun. I learned a lot about scratch in general from completing the project. I started my final project by using the Fish Chomp Starter Project for guidance. I realized that I really liked the idea of the fish, so I decided to keep the fish, but add on more levels, sprites, and conversations. As the levels, increased my idea was to add on more sprites as I went. At first, some of the sprites that I added, including the diver and crab, weren't moving when I wanted them too. So, I had to figure out how to tell them to move. I realized that I was missing a few blocks that are essential to getting your sprite to do what you want. I also used my past projects to help guide me into how to add conversation, sound, and backgrounds. I also found the videos to be quite helpful. I had to watch the levels videos a few times, because the first time I didn't understand it. My main goal was to produce a game that was fun and easy at the same time. I didn't want it to become too complicated, to where I would become confused. I liked the idea of always keeping the same score throughout the game, unless the big fish came in contact with the diver. Sometimes, specific blocks weren't working, but it was simply because I hadn't put a "When I receive" block or a "When the green flag is clicked". In order to test my game, every time I added something substantial, such as new movement, I started the game from the beginning, and made sure that it worked properly. Overall, I believe that this project was extremely helpful in understanding how to navigate scratch, and all it has to offer.
