Project Description: In this project, we used scratch to create a simple game that shares with the player a couple things about ourselves. We had a lot of requirments such as animation, sprite-to-sprite communication, and audio. We started by filling out a planning table to choose the scenes we were going to put in our games. In my project, I had four different scenes. My first one was with my dog at the park. In this scene, we played fetch with the user. My second scene was playing volleyball with another sprite that the user had the oppurtunity to name whatever they wanted. In the third scene, I traveled to my favorite place in the world, Hawaii. The user has to option to choose wether they want to go to the Hawaiian mountain, or the Hawaiian beaches. My last and final scene is where the user can shop for clothes by clicking on the iteams they want. I had so much fun doing this and it really challenged me to be patient and work neatly.
This is my planning table

Soul Reflections:
S - Strength - One of my strengths was that I worked very diligently throughout my whole project and kept my work neat and organized. This was very important because with a lot of code, it can get messy, which can mess up the whole project.
O - Opportunity - If I were to do this again, I would add more interactive features in my volleyball scene.
U - Understand - I learned a lot about different blocks. Specifically, I learned how to use the broadcast feature and how to create my own sprite.
L - Limitation - During this project, I wish I knew how to create an interactive volleyball scene. Originally, I wanted to somehow make it so my sprite was able to play volleyball with the user.
Soul Reflections (Lealah):
S - Strength - I really liked how interactive it was, and it was super fun to click different sprites to see what they do. The activities were all super interesting and fun to watch.
O - Opportunity - I think that next time maybe make it so you can choose to go to the beach and then go to the mountains without having to start over.
U - Understand - I thought it was super cool that you could "add different things to cart". I thought that was super creative and it was fun to click the different things and watch them disappear.
L - Limitation - I think that one limitation is the bug that I found. I don't know how I found it, but then Charlie started moving on the main page, and the volleyball and the extra person playing it appeared on the screen.
Soul Reflections (Christiana):
S - Strength - I really enjoyed the travelling and interactive parts of the project. I think it was really fun to follow along with!
O - Opportunity - I think that next time you should use the costume tool to help with the volleyball exchanging.
U - Understand - The element of spending time with Charlie was really cool.
L - Limitation - A bug that could be improved is that if I click out to fast Charlie stays on the sprite screen.
