Programming With Scratch: Diana Alvarado

My first impression when working with scratch was that it seemed pretty easy to use and manage, I thought that the images such as the backdrops and the characters looked too childish and I figured it was going to be a simple program to use. However, to my surprise it was more complex than just making a character move from place to place. I think the easiest part of scratch for me to understand was to go to the library and choosing the scenery, and characters because I was able to come up with my own story line and what I wanted to happen in my scenes. The greatest challenge for me was guessing what each event really did and then having to rearrange everything again if it wasn't the way I wanted it to be. One of the things I really wanted to do was to get the monkey to jump however I never got it to work the way I wanted it to so I just didn't do it at all and just incorporated a lioness. To make my next project better I would like to learn how to make more actions with my character and get it to look more realistic.
