Most programs that don’t use a loop will run once and then stop. Without a Forever loop, the star in the game would move once and then sit still. In the Catch the Star game, what is the Forever loop responsible for? What does a Forever loop do in a Scratch program? In a Scratch project, a variable’s value can only be set once and never changes after that. What happens to the Score variable each time the player clicks the star in the Catch the Star game? A variable called “Score” can update automatically every time the player does something, like clicking a star. In Scratch, what does a variable act like? What are the four ingredients every great game needs, according to the lesson? 2.5 Assignment: My First Game Level 1 – Spark Programming Quiz Level 6 – Elevate Why might you need to speak clearly and slowly to a voice assistant? Level 5 – Ascend 2.2 Quiz: Speech Recognition & Text-to-Speech What happens after PicToBlox’s Speech Recognition block recognizes what you said? 2.4 Quiz: Scratch — Final Game Project A game with no sound effects or visual feedback can still feel less satisfying to play, even if it works correctly. Home Text-to-Speech technology can be useful for helping people who have difficulty reading. Debugging means testing your game to find and fix problems. A complete game should include a start screen, gameplay, and a game over screen. In PicToBlox, you can only use pre-trained AI models — you can never build and train your own speech model. Speech recognition works by comparing your voice to millions of recorded voice samples it has learned from. In PicToBlox, which block lets your program listen to your voice and turn it into text? What does your microphone capture when you speak into a speech recognition program? 2.3 Assignment: Introduction to Robotics & Circuits 2.3 Quiz: Introduction to Robotics & Circuits 2.2 Assignment: Speech Recognition & Text-to-Speech 2.3 PicToBlox — Introduction to Robotics & Circuits Which of the following are examples of game polish? (Choose all that apply.) Which are good ways to increase a game’s difficulty over time? (Choose all that apply.) Which stages are usually part of a complete Scratch game? (Choose all that apply.) Which of these make speech recognition harder for AI? (Select all that apply) What is the main purpose of adding polish to a game? Which Scratch block is useful for showing variable values while testing your game? What is a difficulty curve? Which stage usually comes first in a complete Scratch game? 2.3 Quiz: Scratch — Clones & Advanced Game Mechanics Which of the following can modern AI text-to-speech voices have? (Select all that apply) If you never delete unused clones, your game may become slow or freeze. The “Delete this clone” block removes a clone from the project when it is no longer needed. What does the Text-to-Speech block do? A clone is an exact copy of a sprite that is created during the game. Which statements about clones are true? (Choose all that apply.) Blog
