Bouncing Burger

Back again with Make Code, ready to start my new assignment. So far I have been having fun with this awesome website, I recommend it for those who are new to coding just like me, to give it a try and play around with it. Continuing with my assignment, I must complete the “Bouncing Burger Tutorial” and then mod the project in my way.

What new learning took place with this activity?

Not much, most of the things that were presented to me in the tutorial I have already seen in the other projects I have made previously. The good thing is that I got to practice more about the function and how the velocity works on make code arcade. It can get confusing sometimes, but that is why I have to keep practicing these things. I learned a couple of new things new I was searching on what to do for the expansion of the tutorial.

Did I encounter any challenges?

I did encounter some challenges. During the tutorial, I understood very well the procedures and the steps I was following. It was straight forward, there were no complications, and I consider I had no issues or major challenges. But when I started to expand more upon the tutorial, this is where I did find some challenges. It took me a while to figure out how to add walls and make the sprite do a certain function I wanted it to do each time it hit the walls. So I searched in make code arcade for some types and other lessons they provide.

What did I modify?

I managed to add the tiles and set them as a wall so that the burger sprite could bounce against it and go to another direction. I set the tiles with a light brick material color which looks nice to me. The main feature that was new was that, each time the burger bounces off the wall, the background will change a different color, which looks pretty cool. So if it bounces on the bottom of the screen, the background will turn orange, if it bounces on the top, it turns light blue, etc. Also, I added sound effects each time it bounces on a wall. For each side of the screen there will be a different sound.

Reflection

To finish up with my project, I’ll give my personal opinion and my experience during my task. I think I made progress, learned new things, a few but it’s something. I also used some of my knowledge from the previous tasks. If I had more time, I would like to expand more from what I have right now and I am looking forward to keep learning new things.
