Scratch Lesson 02

understand what looping is in programming and when it should be usedunderstand what parallel programming is and when it should be used

understand how simple pre-defined variables are used in programming and when they should be used

demonstrate proper use of a forever loop and a repeat loop towards a desired pre-planned effect

demonstrate proper use of parallel scripts running at the same time for a pre-planned desired effect

demonstrate the proper use of 2 pre-defined variables: random and calling for the properties of another object (specifically it's x an y coordinates)

understand that processors will execute tasks as quickly as possible (fractions of a second!)

demonstrate knowledge of how fast programs can run but inserting necessary wait commands in a program to achieve a desired visual result from the users' point of view.

Directions:

You will need to program the mouse to step by changing its costume. You will need to also have the mouse pointer to and move towards the bowl of cheese.

The bowl of cheese will need to randomly go to multiple locations on the screen.

Looping will allow you to have functions repeat and parallelism is when you have multiple functions occurring at the same time.
