Chapter 9. Turning Geometric Patterns into Art Using the Pen Tool
Feeling artistic? Don't worry if you're not. This is art that anyone can do. We'll make the sprite do all the hard work.
As we work our way through the chapter, we'll be programmatically creating designs in Scratch by giving the sprite a precise pattern of movements to follow. At the end of this chapter, we'll have created a shapes drawing project, a color finder application, and some string art.
These projects will have a place on their own and can be quite addictive to experiment with. However, they are highly applicable to the work we've done through the first eight chapters. These art projects, or animations, can be used in a variety of places including when the player loses in Breakout, to draw stars on a card, or as level and scene transitions.
In this chapter, we will draw on many of the concepts we've learned so far in addition to the following:
