Cheese Platform Game on Scratch

The cheese platform game I created on Scratch is essentially a simple game with the objective to get the character to jump on the platform and reach the cheese. However, the objective is not only to reach the cheese but also to finish the levels in under 10 seconds to win the game. The hardest part of creating this game was to get my character to jump up to the platform. Another difficulty was getting the platform to move with the character and getting it near the second platform. My favorite part of creating this game was being able to play it because it' awesome to create a game for yourself.

Maze Game

The maze game I created is a simple game that can be played specifically for younger children. The objective of the game is to collect all the gold keys and in Level 2 reach the Starbucks and then make it to the end of the maze. Level 1 is just about collecting the keys and not touching the red whereas Level 2 is about not touching any of the color purple or you'll return to the beginning of the level. Essentially it is an fun easy game to play.

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.

A Little About Me


    Hello, my name is Diana Alvarado. I'm 15 years old and I am a sophomore at Elizabeth Learning Center. My favorite sport is soccer and I've playing since i was 3 years old. I am also in the debate team at my school. My favorite color is red.My goal is to go to Yale University and become a lawyer in the state of California. My best friend's name is Carolyn and I've known her since 2009 even if she is a year younger than me I can't imagine anyone that makes me as happy as she does . I love chocolate ice cream and brownies.My all time favorite movie would have to be the Disney motion picture, Hercules.

 
  There are 5 members in my family. My mom Adriana, is from Mexico and my dad Luis, is from El Salvador. I have two older brothers, Luis Giovanni and Abel. I was born in Huntington Park but moved to Cudahy when i was 2 years old and I've been living here since then. I assisted Park Avenue Elementary School until the 6th grade. From there i moved to Griffiths Middle School in Downey. I was there for two years and that's when i came to E.L.C. my brothers and I have always been close. We like to go out and even though we are very different people we all have one thing in common, we love to play soccer. Yes, just like any other other siblings we don't always get along I mean most of the time we do get along but even in those times when we  don't i wouldn't change them for anything because at the end of the day, they're the ones that i know will hear me out anytime.

   My favorite singer is Bruno Mars although i haven't listened to his music in a while. Regarding computers I'm not very well with them. I don't understand how to use them and  often have to ask someone for help. I'm hoping i learn how to work them better in this computer class. Also I'm looking forward to doing all these new cool things like hopefully making robots later in the year. Another of my hobbies includes going to Six Flags with my best friend. I love roller coasters and going to restaurants. I'm a fan of trying new food when I go out with my family. I love pasta so I'm a huge fan of Italian food and also Argentinian food. Finally to sum it all up i would like to end this by saying I love cookies, mainly chocolate chip cookies are my favorite but I also love Oreos.
