A Game of Mad Libs!

In this virtual game of Mad Libs was created with Snap! I used script variables to store data (the player's answers) and refer to them at a later time during the script. The join block was used to join the words of the story to the script variables. The "play mad libs" block, is a command custom block that I made to keep the story hidden from the player.

Number Conversions

I made 2 reporter custom blocks that takes decimal numbers as inputs and output the binary and hexadecimal values. Repeat until loops were used to repeatedly divide the decimal number by the base until the quotient was zero. Operators such as the mod block, equal to, and divide blocks were used to do arithmetic and conditionals like the if and if else blocks were used.

Abstraction

Abstraction is taking a complex system and considering only the essential details. Abstraction focuses on the "big idea" rather than minor details, and can help simplify complex procedures.

Broadcast

The broadcast block allows messages to be sent and received between scripts.

Random Block

The random block was used in this program to vary the pen size.

Lists

A list holds a set of several values. These values can be words or other lists. The map block allows an action to be done to all or some items of a list. The for each item of list block allows an action to be done for all items of a list. The length block allows you to get the length of a list or word. The for loop along with the length of block can also be used to perform an action to every item of a list.

And, or, not

The and, or, and not blocks are operators which can set conditions for when an action can be done, when coupled with the if loop. When coupled with a repeat until loop, it sets the condition for when a repeat loop can stop.
