Mars Mazes - Computing



Mars class continued their hard work in creating Scratch programs these past weeks. Improving on our skills, we used sequencing and repetition to create programs that looped between actions and events, exploring the various tools and designs to create backgrounds and sprites. Working together, we were able to investigate the functions of different scripts (motion, looks, sound) and add these to our programs to enhance them. As we worked through creating our program, we found it helpful to stop and check to make sure the sequence was running in order.


We also explored using keyboard commands to stop and start our actions! We used these commands this week to create a maze activity to get our sprite to move in different directions using the arrow key functions. We used the event and motion blocks to direct the sprite through the maze.
