1. G AME D ESIGN - S CRATCH Aliya, Natalie, and Mika

2. P ROS AND C ONS OF M OVEMENT The movement of an object on scratch is pretty easy once we figured out how to fit the pieces together. After that you only have to press a button to make the object move. The movement of an object on scratch is a little bit perplexing and difficult. What perplexed us was the way that you have to drag and fit the different pieces together. ProsCons

4. P ROS AND C ONS OF S OUND The sound was not hard to find or use. There was a little bit of trouble but when we found the icon, it was very easy to use and manage. ProsCons The sound was a little bit perplexing for a novice. At first we were not able to find the recording button. But when we found the button, things became easier.

6. P ROS AND C ONS OF B ACKGROUNDS The Background was not very hard to find. It was easy to find and was easy to use. The backgrounds were probably the easiest to manage. In the Backgrounds sometimes there were not the backgrounds that we needed. We didn’t know how to upload a picture as a background so we couldn’t use what we wanted. ProsCons

8. P ROS AND C ONS OF S EQUENCING Sequencing was not very hard when it came to making backgrounds and characters. The good thing was that most of the pieces were easy to find. ProsCons Sequencing was kind of hard when you have to move the characters. The pieces have to fit together like puzzles and that was confusing and frustrating to all of us.

10. A FFECTIVE G AME D ESIGN Scratch is not very affective for making a game. This tool is fun and can prepare you for making a game on a different program. Although, Scratch is not a very good tool for creating an actual game. There are pieces that you have to drag and fit together to make something move or talk. This is confusing if you don’t get how to work the game, or if you are just starting to play around with the game. Once you figure out how to work every thing will come easy. The game program is a fun learning program but not very affective.

11. O UR R ATING We rate this program medium. Scratch was a little bit hard to learn how to use. After we learned how to use everything, we found Scratch a lot easier. Still some things are challenging to all of us. Also, sometimes we can not find the movements that we want to use. This is why we rate Scratch a medium.

12. R ECOMMENDATION OF FUTURE USE We would recommend this program to be used in the classroom when teacher want to introduce game technology to their students. This program can help you with many other game programs that you have to use.
