Ben-Genius Hour of 8/23/17

        Last Wednesday during genius hour, I brainstormed some ideas, until eventually coming up with my current one. I decided that over the course of this genius hour period that I was going to use Scratch or another program to create a multi-level video game.  During the rest of the period I played with some of the commands on scratch and tried to figure out how some of it works. I also thought of ideas about what different levels could look like. Some ideas I came up with are: An enemy chasing you through somewhat of a maze, an enemy moving randomly around the arena and cloning itself every few seconds for increasing difficulty, and a multiple choice quiz level. One of the main difficulties will be getting it to change levels, or automatically restart the current level if you fail. The only thing that kind of disappointed me was that WASD, the most common keyboard layout for video games doesn't work well on scratch.   After last week I feel pretty comfortable with scratch and I am excited to use it again next Wednesday.

    This sounds like a great idea that explores your own interest. Perhaps you could try arrow keys.

    That sounds awesome ben you should try making multiple enemys and the ability to unlock power ups.

This week during genius hour I brainstormed what else I could make on scratch.  I helped jack test out his item for a few minutes, before getting back to work. I looked at some of the recommended projects to do on scratch, but none of them looked appealing to me.  I decided to add more questions to my rubik's cube quiz. I put in a question about fish spamming.  I am praying that Cole recovers from his disease soon.  I also added questions about the origin of the rubik's cube and different solving methods.  I can't wait to share my projects on thursday or friday.

genius hour #6 blog from camey

last week we did another genius hour in this genius hour i did more programming for my game it was boring the reason it was boring is because i had to make code for all parts and then copying was a nightmare also because it takes a long time to program multiple levels each piece had to have different but similar code so it sucked copying and pasting from piece to piece i listened to memes while i worked it helped me be more productive i recommend that everyone watch memes while they work

So, I finally presented my project last Thursday (I think). Last Wednesday I worked on my homework/ languages. I didn't get to do much since I was done with my skirt. I really love it! I really like the fabric that I picked out. I'm going to have to hand wash it, though. By the way, I never got to making fabric flowers because I lost my fabric glue. I might try making them later.
