At the start of the unit, I had already come in with an extensive knowledge on Scratch and Tynker. Though I knew a lot about drag and drop coding, I had more ambition to learn more, and had learned EVEN MORE about Scratch coding. I have learned to make more algorithms and use custom blocks and variables. I had also taught my fellow classmates. I had made friends in this class, mainly Viir who had shared my interest in coding games, and he had been the first people to see my games and projects. I still believe that my journey in computer coding is farm from finished in Scratch alone. I have always taken an interest in game design and I have made simple games. I want to extend my knowledge, as I want to learn camera code and more complicated physics for games. I have been watching tutorials and found a tutorial channel “Griffpatch” who is extremely good at coding, I want to eventually learn Unity and C#, and I believe that his class was the start of this journey.

Underwater Dreams Reflective Post
In the movie “Underwater Dreams” a clear theme is shown throughout the film. No matter the advantages someone has, hard work and determination has a chance at winning. This is shone by the fact that Carl Hayden won the competition. MIT had a $10,000 robot, made with custom parts and amazing computing power. Carl Hayden had a robot that releases a foul smell and is made of PVC pipe. They won because they were resourceful and had amazing presenting skills. Another time this theme was shone was in the presenting skills. MIT’s disadvantage was that with a complicated robot, they didn’t know it inside and out. They worked hard and beat MIT.

So far, I have enjoyed the lessons, because I have learned about the way the coding language works. I found the racer slither.io lesson difficult, because I didn’t know how delays worked and how to make movement code. I have gotten past this point, so I know the language well now, except I want to learn how to use the physics system better, because static and active are confusing, but I have learned the engine.
Computer Technology Reflection One
So far, I have learned a lot. I have learned basic JavaScript rules, and have grown my understanding in Scratch. I have learned more and learned how to do a variety of things. I have learned how to make better animations and learned the costume editor better.
Everything has been fun. The Amazing World of Gumball was very fun it taught me how to use the costume editor, like how to edit character presets and how to make animations out of the costume.
I would like to learn more about how to do basic JavaScript, like how to make animations and basic games, and I also want to learn how to make better Scratch models
