2. Describe how you designed your app's UI. What components does it use?
Answer
My partner and I designed the app’s UI to be simple and straightforward- tap a button to hear its associated sound and tap another button to pause any sounds that are playing and to hear its associated sound. It also uses a text-to-speech component to for enhancement that will display what i have learned from the previous lessons.
3. Now that you've had some experience building apps in App Inventor, what do you think about programming. Is it a creative activity? In what ways does it allow you to express yourself?
Answer
Based upon my experience using app inventor, i have come to the conclusion that programming is indeed a very creative process. This is due to the wide variability and customization possibilities that programming provides. The possibilities are practically endless when designing apps and programs. It allows one to express themself by allowing them to create any application that they could want, the only limit being a screen.

Be sure to provide screenshots along with your explanations for each of the enhancements that you made.
We used three chunks of code similar to this, but all have distinct purposes. One of them starts the dog noise and text to speech, in addition to pausing the cat or cow it it's playing, when the dog button is clicked. Another one starts the cat noise and text to speech and pauses the dog or cow noise if its playing when the cat button is clicked, and one starts the cow noise and text to speech and pauses the dog or cat noise, if playing, when the cow button is clicked. We made a text to speech enhancement, that plays in addition to the animal sound, that speaks the name of the animal that is clicked in spanish.
