Raise Tower Bridge! (laptop/pc) by https://padlet.com/learning44/RaiseTowerBridge en-us 2020-09-02 12:43:01 UTC 2025-04-24 07:52:11 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/26f5.png Oh no! Tower Bridge won't open! learning44 https://padlet.com/learning44/RaiseTowerBridge/wish/714607469
Can you fix the code so the bridge can open? 

Click on a bascule and scroll all the way to the bottom of the script area. Here you will find two scripts that tell the bascule sprites exactly how to turn anticlockwise and clockwise.
  • Can you work out what numbers need to go in the degrees and repeat boxes to make the bridge open wide enough for the ship?
  • Is there only 1 right answer?

  • Which pink block raises the bascule? 
  • Which pink block closes it? 
  • What happens if you click them in the wrong order or too many times?
    • Tip: If your bascule ends up pointing in a strange direction you can reset it by clicking the green flag.

  • Can you make a sequence that raises this side of the bridge? 
  • Is it the same as your first sequence? 
  • Why?

  • Add the event block to the top of your Left Bascule script so that this side of the bridge opens when you press the button?
  • Program the Right Bascule to open at the same time?

  • Is it easy to get the timing right?
  • What would make it easier?

  • Can you see a block that might let the bascule stay open for long enough to let the boat pass through?
  • Whereabouts in your scripts does this block need to go?

  • Does the bridge work properly?
  • Experiment by testing different numbers in the box.
