Dance-Twist

okaay, second tutorial,

i had to make it dance.

here's how :)

just click on it to make it bigger :)

hhaha i made her dance !

she wiggled her hipss :L

anyway, that's pretty much how you do it, wanna see some proof that i did it

??

just click on them to make them bigger :)

Animate it!

okay, so this is the first tutorial for scrath i've done.

this one was about animating it (as you could probably guess from the title)

it was about making the object change.

you could make it smile then frown, or change it from one colour to another.

you do this by getting the original, or the one you wanna start with, then you copy it and then you edit the copied one into what you want it.

then, you use this code (you use as many costumes as you want, and for aslong as you want, etc..)

and then press the little green flag thingy and watch :)

cool :)

here's some proof i did it :)

so i can lose my memory (8)

okaaaaaaaaaaaay, so now that i've finished the posts for this term, i can get started on the assignment (:

for this term, we have to use a program called "Scratch" to make a game.
i know it sounds hard, but that's cause it probably is :/

but before that i have to watch the tutorials cause i have NO idea how to use this, and then complete the challenges associated with it.

that'll be fun...

Sample Flowcharts

Now, for this one i have to look at three different flowcharts and describe what they might be used for.

1.

okaaay, so i think this flowchart is about the steps involved in developing software and where you should start from if you make a mistake (:

2.

now this one i'm sure is about how to control the temperature of something and to figure out which is freezing and which isn't./

3.

this flowchart is about a tv maybe.. or something with an LED screen. Its about like, switching it on and off, and yeah...

so, next i have to make my own flowchart about like, filling a bath or something like that.

maaaaaaaan, it took me FOREVER to do this on paint, and to think of all the things to put in it :(

I hope you all learn how to fill a bath properly from this (:

We'll start a fire. (8)

okaaaaaay, so it's the start of term 4 and i'm straight back to work (:

for this task i have to look up and in my own words define a pre-chosen list of words, all of which are about computers.

there are only about 6 questions, so it wont take too long.

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere we go (:

1. Algorithms: A specific rule, or set of rules made to solve a problem.

2. Pseudocode: A short, easy way of describing a computer program. Instead of using that technical computer technology talk, more general wording is used.

3. Machine Language: A set of codes as instructions for a processor to do.

4. High Level Computer Language: A programming language that lets a programmer write programs.

5. Flowchart: A diagram of the order of operations.

6. Flowchart symbols used for;
BEGINNING AND ENDING A SET OF INSRTUCTIONS:

DECISION MAKING

A PROCESS OR ACTION

and i'm doneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee (:

Great.

okay, well, so today we got our "project" which i'm guessing is our assignment for this term(greeeaaaat [note the sarcasm?])

well, for this assignment we have to sample certain websites that could be used to present our "project"on. we could get to choose from scrapblog, notaland, pageflakes, protopage, and notebook (who came up with these names?) but i only have to post about two, and we had to answer questions about it on:

1.Versatility- What media does it allow me to use ? (e.g text, images, video, you know, the usual)

2.Ease of Use- How friendly is the user interface for the designers? How easy is it to add components to my presentation? How friendly is the user interface for the user, can visitiors find what they need on your presentation?

3.Collaboration- How well does the online tool allow me to work with my partner? Can we both work on the presentation together? (well, i'm gunna work by myself, so i guess this question is irrelevent)

well, i better get to work.

The World of Multimedia

no little intro in this post. deal.

1. Where do you commonly use multimedia in your daily life? I use multimedia pretty much everywhere, at school when i'm in IST or at the library, at home, when i'm on the computer, or listening to my ipod, when i'm watching tv, or a DVD, when i'm using my phone. Those are the main ones i use.

2. What multimedia device or service would you find it hardest to be without? Discuss. I would probably find it hardest to be without my computer, because if i didn't have it, i would have my music (cause it's all on there) and i wouldn't be able to do assignments or any research on it, and i wouldn't be able to talk to my friends after school (well, i have a phone, but i hate calling people and talking on the phone) or during holidays (yeah i could meet up with them, but how would i be able to when i don't have a computer and hate talking on the phone?) on msn. OR my ipod, or CD's and my Supernatural season DVD's (freaking awesome show !)

3.Think the video on future directions (second video) will come true? Do you see any advantages/disadvantages to the use of technology? well, i think that at the rate new technology is becoming available to pretty much everyone, it's only a matter of time before everyone has everything. Some advantages would be that things would be easier and less time consuming for people and it would be a lot easier for people to communicate from further and further away. There would be some disadvantages though, like people would get lazy and they'd rely on this technology and when/if that techonology goes wrong, we'd be screwed, and also, with everything too available, i'd imagine people would get sick of it all, and it might be like they, get it, then they realize that they never really wanted or needed it, but they just wanted it cause they thought it would've been harder to get or something, and then they'd have just wasted all this money (cause that stuff'd be expensive) on something they don't even want. WHAT A WASTE.

well, that's enough babbling on for this post.
