December 21 (Programmers)

 At our meeting this week, I proposed a new idea for Programmers - Scratch trading cards! Check the next blog post for more details.

I also showed the Programmers the Scratch cards developed by the Scratch team.  These are handy flashcards for trying new blocks.  There also are some short video tutorials on the website, too.  The best way to learn something new, though, is to just try it.  Here are some samples of what the Programmers worked on:

Hayden decided to make a game based on Lord of the Rings and is going to use a counter to keep track of how much power is left to his sprites.
I'm not sure what Asa's story will end up being, but after seeing his edits to the sprite, I'm already scared!
Elli put the Scratch cards to good use and started working her way through them one at a time.
Gordon also started a game.  He came up with a great script to make his sprite jump.
