This week we are learning the basics of programming. We are doing this by making games using Scratch software. You can download the free software from

I like scratch because it is creative and you can use your imagination on it.It is fun to be able to create your own game.
ReplyDeleteI dont like scratch because it is sometimes hard to find out how to make your sprite to do things that you want it to do.
it is sometimes hard to understand what to do to make it how you want it. lilly

Scratch:
ReplyDelete* Scratch is entertaning and fun
* Scratch is addictive and it has good graphics

Scratch allows you to use you're imigination and create a game that you enjoy.
ReplyDeleteIt is also great that we have freedom to create any game that we like.
I dislike scratch because i think it could be easier by having more options of what you want your scratch to do. Because sometimes it's hard to create a game if i doesnt have the things you want.
I also think scratch could get some more life like characters, that would be awesome.

ReplyDeleteIdont like it because it is quit limited
Scratch is a fun and exciting game that challenges you.
ReplyDeleteI found it hard to remember how to do some of the things like make it chase another sprite.
I enjoyed making the backrounds and sprites.

Scratch forms the basics of computer programming though it is quite limited.
ReplyDeleteIt is easy but too simple to be called a computer programme, the graphics is stale and the game-play is(would be) plain and laggy.
It may sound cynical but scratch it too limited in many ways.
for example:2d graphics in this case is very easy to use for manouvering sprites however if it had depth it would actually have much more to offer as a teaching aide

Scratch is fun and exciting!
ReplyDeleteYou learn lots on scratch and its lots of fun!
It is kinda hard to remember how to make it chase things and i wish it had a help button which would say the basics!
