One of the “Programming 201” activities I completed was Storytelling. In this activity, I learned to make speech bubbles for the actors so they could have a conversation using the “Say” blocks. I also learned how to program the actors to wait their turn to speak, using the “Wait” blocks. I like how in Tynker, you can make actors of your choice do anything, and how everything is up to you. It is difficult to figure out the challenges that “Programming 201” gives you, for example, making an actor move whichever way you tilt your device, all on your own. One thing I learned how to do in Tynker is how to change the backgrounds and actors in the code.

My “About Me” project tells people about the things I enjoy. The actors I used were an actor representing me, two dogs, representing my own, an ice cream cone, and skis and ski boots. I used the “Say” block repeatedly because I wanted my actors to introduce themselves. I tried to incorporate making the actors have a conversation, which is something I learned in “Programming 201”.
