challanges

starting challange 1


 



challange 2-

Today doing tetorails

Change-colour

i did one of ladyGagas face and i also added whirl. moving the mouse up and down makes the colour change and moving it side ways it whirls.


I have now completed 6 tetorials and now im up to the challanges. im trying to think of some ideas for my game i want to make a sprite move and collect coins or somthing and move using the left and right aroow keys.

Tuesday, November 9, 2010

What am i doing today

today i am finishing the tetorials so i can start my project.

this one is called say somthing. You have to make the sprite say somthing. i made the mouse say somthing and i made the cat shake by moving it ten steps then back ten and turn back and forward and it gives a shaking effects.also used two differnet costumes.




the mouse then runs away quickley after as I put move 10 steps.
CAT SCRIPT

mouse script

the next one im doing is called "animate it" it involves a ghost changing its costume.

i will change mine.







I have changed mine to be two differnt character but the cotume of the butterfly changes form happy to Angery and the wings change so it looks like it is moving. The script show above is just for butterfly i also added bounce back at end so it does not walk of screen.

what step im up to

ive done step one and two and im now up to three i have just completed the first example in step 3. it is really weaird because it just jumps around the screen crazyly. but the score goes up when it touches the fish. I cant figue out the reason for this but it might just be they way its soposed to be. i could not find the sound chomp so i just used meow but it does not make a difference. when the shark touches the fish it jumps back and the score goes up by one.

the next one im doing is called move to the beat, if already done one like this and instead off using the drum beat i used the piano notes and istead of the lady i used a cartoon girl doing ballet. because their is more pics of the girl doing ballet i added change costume to the script and it look like she is moving like a cartoon. the notes i used is the start of a piano piece i play called for elise. so i called it for elise.

It changes costume to the next one i choose it goes form costume one then two and then three. i also set the sprite so when you click the flag it starts of with the same sprite 1.

Scratch programing and control structures

I have been playing with scratch and making algorisums using forever and if actions.
i have made one myself it just says hello and changes colour.

Sample Flow Charts

1. For each of the flowcharts below describe in words what you think they will do.

The first flow chart is showing the testing of the temperature of somthing. It has desision and all aspects of a good flow chart. It realy shows weather the temp is above or below freezing.



The seconed flow chart is turning on a led Light




2. Convert one of the algorithms you have created in the previous task into a flowchart, e.g. opening a door, moving through a traffic light.


Mine is a simple flow chart of talking your dog for a walk and returning back home. their is a desion asking if you have walked for 30min yes/no if you desision is yes you return home if it is no you start your walk again. This sample chart is not right, catch dog, and back home are actions their should always be start and end. I also was supost to put the desion arrow pointing not to go for walk but just above. I have made a new flow chart which is perfect and is the one next to the incorrect one.

Today-all about the project

today i was researching my topics. anna found a nice bluetooth video could not figure out how to put it on our webpage without making it as a link. The solution was that you have to copy the url of the video and paste it into the youtube widget, and you dont have to embed it.

i have discided to do cloud computing instead of wifi or wireless broud band because i find it interesting.

wesites for digital tv

http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&defl=en&q=define:Digital+television&sa=X&ei=zNxpTKTyOYvCvQO44IT-Aw&ved=0CBQQkAE

Using Jimdo for our project

so far me and anna are happy with jimdo it is easy and looks afective at the same time. We started off with just one page for the both of us which was ok because the information will only over wright if we are working on the same page which would not happen but then miss showed us a differnt way to colaberate. Me and anna have both now created our own website and i have linked anna websites to mine using her differnet topic headings and making a differnt link for each of her topics which is even better and looks neater

I am now linking some more of annas topics to my page and are finding photos to put on the link.
found i picture for a disc for piracy and copyright. on this website.
http://vic20.files.wordpress.com/2007/07/cdrom.jpg

I realy like jimso it is realy easy to add elimates like headings and tables and text boxes. It make everthing organised. Here are a list of the links you can add.


I am now going to start reaseching on digital televisions which is my first topics and answer the questions about that. Im going to present my reasech using the element provided by jimdo like table text photo etc....

Things to no for task

Today in this lesson miss fan is showing us what we will need no reasearch. It is important to awnser all questions on student net in the unit outline.

Things that are important
  • do not copy and paste just anything
  • pick pics/videos that represent topic
  • easy to acsess questions
  • logical format
  •  present it neetly

Jindo

today miss fam is showing us jindow it is in the middle of proto page and wicxs it looks pretty good it is simple to choose a layout design because you can preview what it will look like before you dicide. The webpage is easy to rename and the tools are set out on the side of the page in an easy acssess plan.  Me and anna are looking for an easy website not one that is confusing and somthing that looks good and has easy and good features. it has on the side of the page you what you can create a different page. On the side like proto page you can add widgets. If you want to change the title you click the meau bar and the navigation and simply rename it. you can drag the pages and if you want to add a nu page you can do that by clicking add a new page. if you want to delete a page you click the page and the bin. You can choose the layout and choose were the menu bar will be. Now all we have to find out is if you can calaberate which is very important.

On jimdo you can calaberate like you can both work on a different page at a differnet time which is ok but if we are working on the same page page at the same time some work will be over righted but this does not affect us because we wont be working on the same page at the same time.


I thick our dissision is now made jimdo is the best opition.


we are now just editing the layout and images etc...

Genive lay is showing us there wix webpsge and because its a flash program it takes a long time to load.

Tuesday, August 10, 2010

what subjects im doing

This lesson me and anna have disided what what individual toppics we will be working on. I will be doing
2. Digital Televisions – Plasma, LCD, LED, OLED
9. Social Networking
11. Secondary Storage: choose at least two, eg. hard disc drive, flash drive, blue ray discs, dvd and magnetic tape.
17. Wireless broadband
or
20. Wifi

i choose these tpoics because they are all things that I would want to learn about. I think its important that its somthing you find interesting because you will enjoy reaching about and will put more effort into your work if your aprecite what your doing.

For number 2 I asked mr lennon if i could do 3D television because this is a digital teleivision that i am interested in reaching and he said yes.

I am not shore yet i am still choosing ither wireless broadband or wifi.

Anna is doing:
6. Hand held multimedia devices
7. Piracy and Copyright
16. Types of ports, eg. USB, Fire-wire
18. Bluetooth

we are both happy with these chooses.

We are still disciding if we are using protopage or not. Because miss fam will show us anotherone tomorrow.

i have know started to work on my research and i have had a look at some types of 3D TV's.

Wednesday, August 4, 2010

protopage

miss fan showed us how to use proto page the layout is simple but its easy to us. you make seperate tabs and on each tab you add widgets to display your things. me and anna both agree that it is a good website because we can understand it. I added a video just to try it out from youtube. the class could not click it but i was able to very easily. each topic we choose we can just simply put our info on. the interface is easy to understand. and i like the fact their are alot of widgets avalable just thier for me to use. you can colabereate on protopgae it alows you to work on the same page at the same time.


here is a list of all the wigets my video



Wix- mr lennon is showing us this wesite. it looks flash and all but thier is so much to learn and even as he is explaining it to us it takes along time just to figure out how to change one thing. it is very complex. To me it looks like your information will just be everywhere in a mess. to resize you have to click on a meau and click all this other stuff but on proto page you simple just click and drag the wiget.
it does have good features it has gallerys which means you can have a whole lot of pictures. And its very updated and new. it is more complecated but it has many many features. you cant colaberate on this website but thats not to much of a problem because you create your own web page.

pageflacks- just loading it up tacks along time and it already looks confusing and messy. the things still have not loaded no!!! not doing this

so far i think protopage is the best option for me and anna to use.

task

yesterday in ist we chose our asignment group im with anna again i think i work very well with her on our last assignment.  


we are now looking at all the different types of programs and finding with one will be the best for us.

Bits and Bytes

1.What is a Digit
A number

quiz

i have completed my CPU quiz and i hope my knowledge will be enough to earn me a merit.  ;)

Wednesday, July 21, 2010

CPU QUIZ

Today mr lennonn is explain a bit about CPUS and on student net i am completing the questions about it.

What is the function of CPU?

A CPU also Know as a microprocesser is the heart of any computer, and is a complete consumption engine that is fabricated on a single chip.

What is the name of the first CPU?

The first CPU was the intel 4004, introduced in 1971 and it was not very powerful. It could only add and subtract and process 4 bits at a time.

Referring to the graph on page 2 of the article, describe how the speed of CPU’s has changed.

From 1974 to 2004 the CPU have changed in speed dramaticly some of the first ones 8 and 16 bits and as the years went past they doubled in size after 16 it went to 32 and the 64. Also the clock speed and MIPS has increased as well

What does MIPS measure?

MIPS stands for "millions of instructions per second" and is a estimated measure of the performance of a CPU.

Research (Google it) what is a dual core processor, what is multitasking and how do the two work together.
A multi-core processor is a processing system composed of two or more independent cores. One can describe it as an integrated circuit to which two or more individual processors (called cores in this sense) have been attached.

today is the video assignment is due and i saavaed the videos as movies one was saved as and email virsion and the other i saved as a high definition version anna could not save tham because the w ddrive did not show on her computer.

WE HAVE NOW COMPLETED EVERYTHING! and i am very happy with how everything turned out well we did not have any major problems.

Wednesday, June 23, 2010

evaluation of finished product

Our video is about self defence, we had to do a bit of research before hand because we did not much about it. We have also added a bit of comerdy to it its ment to be funny whilst instructional. I think the topic was a good choose because we were also abble to learn about it ourselves and it is also a very unique choose.

The main purpose was to enform viewer to be aware and how to defend them selfves if they are caught in an attack and at the same time create a humerous video the entertain the viewer. i think our video attacks all aspects as we included many humerous parts and still had the parts were we where informing

our first part of the video was filmed at the park so we could use the souroudings and one of our bloppers shows the criminal walking though the trees we wanted to create a bigfoot effect like as if it were a sighting.

The second part was planed to be filmed out side but it was to dark and the video did not show so we filmed it inside and it was fine proberly better anyway.

We played in this video a vast amount of characters thier was a reporter at the start then the criminal little girl old lady and other interviewers. we tried to fit thoughs characters and i think we did well. we also used many different outfits and hairstyles to enhance the effect.

we used my camera and it is pretty good but the only problem with using a camera is that when we were filming we could not zoom but it did not matter that much.

hows the Video going

yesterday i went to annas house and we finished filming our video. we had all ready filmed half at my house and it is completed. we edited it and made it into a video at annas house because she has windows seven and live movie maker which helped us alot.

in todays lesson i play my video and it looks good i am happy with the outcome. me and anna put some more effects in like crossfade, roll, spin, flip to our animation. we were going to burn our video to a disc but insteed mr lennon told us to save it to the 'w' drive.

we tried playing our video but there was no sound on it after a while of confusion the problem was resolved by pluging our headphones in before we open our video.

looking at the marking criteria i discoved that we have to save the video in to different resolutions. One we are going to save as high deffinition and the other as a email video. I will save it next lesson because there is not enough time. next lesson is the last one and i belive we will be done because all we have to do now is save the videos

slide show

I have completed my slide show an im going to up load it.
In addition to completeing my slide show i had a few difficulties. When i opened my slide show my photes did not open. this was because i need to save my pics in the same folder as my movie. I also had the same problem with my music so i made a new folder on my usb and saved everything like music pics and movie in that folder.

For my idea for a slide show i wanted to do somthing funny so i choose funny animals there is alot of pictures of funny animals on the net.

Animation

I created my animation to represent my house. I choose a frog because it was an animal that realates to the colour green and i found it easy to draw. I made a normal fly come in first so that it shows how powerful the frog is and shows that the fly is its pray. Then i made a banner which the frog puts up with its tounge to show that its on coolocks team. The next fly that comes in is purple to show it is on the oposing team it knocks of the banner to show his power. The frog then looks sad and crys this makes it look weak, but then the frog gets angry and this is expresed by the eye brows. To get back at the fly it eat it's and the frog is happy again.

I belive this relates to my house because my team does not give up and is even stronger the next time.


this is one of the slides in my animation that shows the frogs anger and power.

PROBLEMS

i did not have many problems but one was that i thought that i had to save all images before you export but now i realise that you only had to save some as svg. But its not a big deal because it did not take that long to export them all.

Wednesday, March 24, 2010

Here it is


About my animation

to create this animation i used inkscape which is a drawing program i choose this because i have used it before and i find it easy to use.

making a gif

i am up to making my animation as a gif and to do that i have to use gimp. click file, save as, then name it and give it a place to save, click selet type selet gif image, click save. Dont merge layers save as a animation then click export. Make sure you select foreverlooping so that it will still play after it has finished. and then select a time that is sutible for your animation i choose 208 because it is not to fast or slow.

i have completed my animation

i have made 99 slides and i am finish but i am still to learn how to actually move the animation insteed of just clicking to change.

Wednesday, March 10, 2010

animation Idea

for my animation project i am making a frog. I am using inkscape because i find it easier to use and i like the tool which it has. I have made the frog and saved it as a vector image so i can change it later if i want, before i export it. When i export i should select the whole page, not just the image.My page is 500 by 500. when i save my work i should select the 's' drive.

Digital Art......Real Art



To create this art work i used Art pad, i like how you can use the paint tin to throw the paint on like a splat. Art pad is a paint program.

Ink scape-is a draw program. I used Ink scape to make this clown, I liked the tool were you can draw caligraghy strokes with i usesd for the mouth.





Art definition http://www.yourdictionary.com/

  • Human ability to make things; creativity of man as distigiuished from the world of natutre.
  1. I think digital art is a valid form of art as it states above that its the human ability to make things, you are still creating somthing person that no one can exactly make again.
  2. digital art you can copy and paste to create the same image. You can have,wider range of colours, you can make perfect shapes and you can fill up a large shape or area with colour without having to colour it in yourself.
  3. They must be aware of all tools on the paint or drawing program.

A Bit is the basic unit of information in computing.

A byte is a unit of digital information in computing.

A sampling rate or sampling frequencey defines the number of samples per seconed.



Colour Depth


It affects the apearance of an image by giving it higher colour depth and a broder range of distinct colours.
