Violet Pinthong - Android Apps

This is our android apps where the students get to learn how to make well apps! To make these apps we use an app called MIT App Inventor. You might have seen it on my home screen as a button. You can have fun playing on your own app while also learning to code. I never really liked coding till we started this subject. Its fun to play on an app you know you made yourself. And if you think you'll like playing my app there's a QR code to take you there.

Hello Lion

Hello lion is one of the games on my app. Its really simple but it can be fun to make. Its a game where there's a lion and when you click on it it roars!!! You have to find an image of a lion or the animal you want and also find the sound that matches them. Then your get a button and get the image on the button. Then your going to start coding. Your bring out the "when button1 .click do" and put out the "call sound1 .play" then you can put a lable telling the player to click the lion should roar.

Talk to Me

Talk to me is an app where you can type something and it will say it out loud. For example if you typed hi it would say hi, so it just says what you type out. But the cool thing is that when you shake it it will tell you to stop shaking the device. So you would have to add a button, a text box, and accelerometer sensor and pull out the "When button1 .click do" and put the "call texttospeech1 .speak message" in it (btw you will have to pull out the texttospeech thing from the properties/ the thing on the side that has all the things including the buttons.) Then put the "Textbox1.text" in the texttospeech1 thing. Then you pull out when "accelerometersensor1. shaking do" and put in "call texttospeech1 .speak message" and put in the thing that looks like " " and type into it what you want it to say when it shakes. And now your app should work!

Bouncy Ball

Bouncy Ball is basically what it is called. Its a ball that bounces. Though, to make it more fun I added a slider to control the speed. (And by the way I learned to do it by myself, but it's probably a tutorial somewhere else.) So what you do is you add a canvas and ball to the workspace. You also put a slider. Make the max value to something like 100 or 300 so it can go really fast and you can make the min value 1 or even 0. In the blocks section take out the Ball.Edgereached do and put call ball.bouce edge in it. Then put get edge in the ball.bouce edge. Then get the when ball.flung do and put set ball. heading to and add get heading. And also add set ball. speed to then add slider1. thumbposition in it to. Then Add when slider1. postionChanged do and add set ball. speed to and add slider1. thumbposition in it. Then your ball should bounce and the slider should work as well!

Digital Doodle

Digital Doodle is basically a doodling game. Though I added something to make it cooler! To be able to draw you need to add a canvas and to wipe it you need to add a button. And if you want to make it cool add and accelerometer sensor. Then go in the blocks section and get ready to code! First you pull out the when Button1. click do and put the call canvas1. clear in it. And now the wipe button should work. Then pull out when canvas1. Dragged do and put in the call canvas1.Drawline and it should have a whole bunch of stuff that says x1, y1, x2 and y2. Put get prevX and put it in x1. Put get prevY and pit it in y1. Then put in get current x in x2 and put get currentY and put it in y2 and then you should be able to wipe and draw! Now the cool part. This part is really easy. Your going to be able to shake it and clear is like an etch a sketch and all you have you do is pull out the when acclerometersensor1. shaking do and add call canvas1. clear. And now you have a fun doodling game!

Paint Pot

Paint pot is like digital doodle but better. Its where you can draw but with colors and you can color an image like a coloring book. The things you will need to make this app is buttons for each color you want to be in this app(you will want to put this in a horizontal scroll arrangement), a canvas, and image thats like a coloring sheet, and a button so you can wipe. You need to make the canvas image the coloring page. Now lets get coding! Lets start with the color buttons. First you should rename your buttons so the are what color they are. EX: Button_red, Button_orange, Button_yellow. Then you go into the block section and pull out when button_(color).click do and put in set DrawingCanvas.Paintcolor to and click colors on the side and pick the color that matches what your button says.Then pull out call texttospeech1.speak message and pull out the quotation marks and type in the color it is so it will say that and you would do that for all the other colors. Then to get it to draw pull out when drawingcanvas.dragged do and put in the call drawingcanvas.drawcircle and it should say centerX, centerY, radius, and fill with a true. Get currentX and put that in the centerX, put get currentY and put that in centerY, you would put Slider1.Thumbposition. Then duplicate it and remover the orange and blue blocks (not the true) and put in get prevX in centerX, get prevY and put it in centerY, and put slider1.ThumbPosition for radius. Then pull out when drawing canvas.touched do and put in call drawingcanvas.drawcircle and put in get x in centerX, getY in centerY, slider1. thumbposition in radius, and keep true in fill. And if you want to do a notfier so people can know where there closing the screen or wiping you can look at the photo of the blocks below.

The first column of blocks is how to do the notfier.

Theses are also the blocks for the whole thing if you want to copy of this instead.
