Web Authoring Introduction

A web site is composed of many linked web pages. These web pages are written using HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language).

HTML Tags have an effect on the way your web pages appear. Tags appear within angular brackets <HTML> </HTML> to start and end the code. For example paragraphs are <p> and </p> to end. The main text

would be <body> </body> and headers could be <h1> </h1> or <h2> <h2>.

We will be using Dreamweaver this year to create websites.

Creating an Advent Calender in Scratch

It is fairly easy and quick in scratch to create an advent calender.

Add the design to the stage background.
Add sprite that has the number of the door on it.
Add an extra costume to the sprite that will be the gift.
Add a script to switch costume when the sprite is clicked.

If it’s so easy then why do I have a video on it? Watch and see after the jump

Snake like movement

So today we created a snake like game, using a very similar program to etch-a-sketch. Well that got me thinking about how we could make a more snake like game. So I did some digging and found out how to create a moving segment like snake. Now, it is no where near finished but it should give you a start point, the sprite is just a circle.
