ePet History

Your project for this semester is to design and creat your own virtual pet. You'll need to come up with your own ideas, and then program them. Your project will need to feature interactivity between the user and the pet.

Tamagotchi's are probably the most famous virtual pets, so let's look a bit more at their specific history today.

Keyboard Input

A very common feature in most software, at least on the computer, is that it somehow responds to keyboard input. This could be a game, this could also be a software to design things in, write papers, or browse the web. In many of these you can type, but you also often have keyboard shortcuts, like a quick way to save, or undo, or some other common task.

If it's a game, a lot of time keyboard input is used to control a character's movements and/or use certain actions or abilities. Let's see how we can add keyboard input into Snap!

I've made a small game in Snap at a different training before, but it was a partner project, and due to "creative differences" I didn't like how the Snap one turned out and didn't bother to keep it. 

In it, you were a city that decided to resist the progression of self-driving cars. As such, y'all decided you'd destroy any non-human operated cars on the road. The cars didn't drive on the road though, my partner just made them float through the air... which I thought was lame and lazy... anyway, my bacteriophage one is more fun, even if its Scratch and not Snap.
