domestic robots
Domestic robots have become a big business for companies. I
will be talking about Jibo, NAO and Hovis.
1: Jibo is a small stationary robot that can see, help ,
learn relate and both speak and listen. Jibo can read stories to children and
help contact people from across the world. It is also connectable to the internet
allowing it to search for things for you.
2: NAO is a humanoid robot capable of walking, recognizing you
and being programmed. He is also connectable to wifi and can learn from you.
NAO will be able to do the majority of tasks you tell him to do.
3: Hovis is a robot that you create yourself and programme
how you wish. There are lots of ways to customize for example you can make it
have multiple sensors.

Robots, are they a problem.
Robots are useful because they can
- Work in places dangerous to people
- They can help soldiers deliver messages
- They take care of bombs
- Soon they may also be able to fight along side is
- Mars is inhabited solely by robots
These robots can also be dangerous in some ways such as
- Improved to fight better than us
- Malfunctions are possible
- It would be hard to programme them to fight only a particular side in war
- Viruses could be come common
I think people shouldn't be concerned about robots because people can programme it easily and prevent any major problems. This will make sure that they will only be as smart as the coders.
Finally I believe that the statement "an ai can only be as smart as the programmer is true because there is no way for them to know something we do not know. People say that they will be able to learn in the near future and to that I say what they can learn we can learn faster.

SLC Logo
I have used this logo because it was the one that stood out the most. I created it by first drawing and then drawing it on Inkscape. I was only able to complete one of the logos but I am very happy with the result.

Final Game
I managed to finish my game in under a week of lessons. This game uses scratch and it is a basic catching game. the game is called Halloween candy catcher, I have designed it so that you catch different types of candy. For copy right reasons I used names like M & Ns. Also when you get more sweets the candy bag fills up and starts overflowing.

Game Plan

This is the welcome, game and game over screens. I have chosen this style because I am creating this near halloween.

These are the sprites which will be in the game. there are three different types of candy: M and Ns are 1 point, Candy bars give you 3 points, chocolate bars give you 4 points.
There are also three costumes for the main sprite (basket). There is an empty one, a half full one and a Full one. these will change as you collect more candy.

naming sprites in scratch
We name sprites in scratch so it is easier to find them and make notes on what you've to that particular sprite.

scratch.
These are two ways of making a sprite in scratch count from 1-10.
This way is easier because it is simple.
This however takes a lot of time and it is too big if you want that sprite to do other things. It still does it's job though.
