  2. All actor animations must never stop (forever)
  3. At least one of the actors must be spinning in addition to moving (forever, rotate)
  4. At least one of the actors must be changing size in addition to moving (forever, change size to)
  5. At least one of the actors must be moving randomly (pick random)
  6. A background
  7. A sound that plays when one of the characters finishes its motion before starting its next cycle (play sound or play sound until done)
  8. Something that produces a noticeable change in one of the actors when you hit a certain key on the keyboard (When <key> is pressed). You can pick whetever key and action you want.

Turn-in:

Use the Teach system to turn in:

  1. Your Scratch file (xxx.sb3 or yyy.sb2 or zzz.sb)
  2. A one-page PDF with a title, your name, your email address, a nice screen shot from your program, and a description of what you did to satisfy the requirements above.

Generating a Nice Screen Shot into your PDF File

  1. Click in your graphics window
  2. While holding down the Alt key (lower-left corner), hit the Print Screen key (upper-right corner, often abbreviated Prt Scr)
  3. This copies the pixels into the computer's clipboard
  4. From there, the image can be pasted into the word processing program you are using to write your project report, such as Word
  5. Finally, print your report into a PDF file
  6. If you don't have the ability to print into a PDF file, turn in your word processing document file into Teach
