One of the activities I did on Tynker Programming 201 was trying to get Gus (the astronaut) to go about the space by using the coding blocks. I like how Tynker is super accessible and very easy to navigate everything. It makes coding very enjoyable to learn. Coding in general was (and kind of still is) very difficult for me to learn. Something about putting blocks in a certain order to make something happen is very confusing for me. With Tynker, I learned how to change a person’s costume by tapping them. Here’s the code: When actor is touched, change costume.

My “About Me” project has a character that looks like me runs with a dog that looks like my dog, Hannah, on a field near my home. Once I click my character, it starts to play cheery music because when people see my in-person, I’m usually smiling. My character has a text bubble pop up saying “I’ve been doing ballet for 7 years.” which is true. While I’m “talking” I start gliding across the screen. Basically, when I tap my character, music starts to play, I say something, and I glide on the screen. One block I use a lot is the “When character is touched” block. I tried to incorporate my moving “x and y” block that I learned from Programming 201.
