SCR+-+2.+First+Animation

It's time to create your first animation.

Create an animation that meets the following criteria: - must use a minimum of 4 sprites, more is totally acceptable - must use 'sensing' to make the sprites interact - must use a theme of some kind - must include backgrounds that change and sound/sound effects/music - have a point to your animation (ie. make it interesting for obvious reasons, story or something)

Start on the assignment by planning what you what to make, and organizing the script, the sprites and pictures. Then begin programming. You will have next class to work on it but it will be due at the end of the next class.
