Stuff

- An icon for a culinary-like Activity, like Cook, or other. Not yet Sugarized, and work in progress. No sure though if such an activity would be necessary. A kid/parent could create a recipe in Write, and tag it appropriately (recipe chocolate cake).

Random Notes

Etoys

In Etoys, I want a player to move forward 5 steps a certain amount of times. But in succession, i.e, 5 steps forward, then +5 steps forward, etc. If in the same script I put "Repeat 5 times - Do forward 5", it will be the same as "forward 25" If I try create 2 scripts for the player, "player scriptA" contains "player forward by 5", and "player scriptB" contains "Repeat 5 times - Do scriptA", it also moves once 25 pixels. I can explain what and why I want to do this. I want to have an ovni to move a randon number of times in a direction, then a random number of times in another, and so on infinity. oh, and in random directions as well.

Figured a way by by looking at the Welcome Screen car script of the OLPC etoys.

I created a red polygon square around the screen. Then used this code for the Ovni script (Following the etoys look):

Test ovni's <blue> color sees <red> color

Yes ovni's forwardDirection decrease by (91 + random (90))

ovni forward by 10

No

ovni forward by 10

ovni bounce silence

There may be a better way, but right now this is how I did it.
