After pressing the green flag, press the space bar to start. Once Truffle has started sharing potential ideas, click on her and she'll share more (: (update: press up arrow to add a question to Truffle's memory!)
updates on this iteration for Day 20: I made a few detail edits, such as adding in spaces between the responses that Truffle joins as an idea. Sometimes when trying something new, the details are missed, and I'm glad to come back to this! I also added a feature where you can add a question to Truffle's memory. What question might bring some playful ideas? original notes: AHHHHH - This was my first time exploring strings and lists! ^---- that's a very excited ahhhh! At first I wasn't even sure what the string blocks might be used for. I started off by looking at the Scratch wiki (https://en.scratch-wiki.info/wiki/String) to see what they even did. (thanks @paulinah)! Then I thought that I would create something that generated randomized text. The most exciting part of creating this came as I was thinking of questions to ask. As I plugged in Ask " " and wait, and "add answer to list" at least 15 times, and saw my code grow longer and longer, I wondered how I could randomize the questions so that they might appear in another order (or be repeated, for re-considering other potential responses.) I thought, if I could put them somewhere and ask for a random one, that would be great. I had just created my first list of the answers to questions. It was a sparkly realization moment when I thought "what if I stored the *questions* in a list, too??? This way, they could both be randomized when called upon and ALSO be more organized, not making my script forever long. I was honestly feeling kind of unsure about taking on lists -- and there I was, creating lists on lists to be joined in (lovingly) weird strings! I'm excited to see where this new discovery goes! During the recent Getting Unstuck project on changing scenes, I decided to try a "pause and come back" strategy in stuck moments. When I paused, I'd go in the vector editor and work on this cat face, thinking I'd surely use it for something in the future. I felt comfortable enough to play around with creating the cat while also thinking through the challenges in the project I was programming. For this challenge, I didn't spend ANY time on drawing, as I'd already created the cat. I wonder how far I would've gotten in the lists + strings exploration if I were also focusing on creating my own graphics?
