Dance+Party+CC


 * Guiding Questions:**
 * 1) What are two strategies that you use (or could use) when you get stuck while designing?
 * 2) What is the difference between a sprite and a sprite's costume?
 * 3) What are different strategies to add music, sounds, or notes, etc.?
 * 4) What is the purpose of the music?


 * Investigate:**
 * 1) I have viewed: **beach dance **and **Monsters Dance** and **BreakDance **and **Gummy Bear Band** and **A Day In The Life Of...* a** **nd [|HD Dance Party]** and [|Good Time]
 * 2) **Beach Dance -** The beat is not something that you can listen to for a long time, but it is cool how the sprites move to the beat of the music.
 * 3) **Monster Dance** - I like how the people controlling the mouse get to interact, but again I don't necessarily like the beat.
 * 4) **BreakDance** - The beat is not my favorite, but the way that the controller gets to click different dance moves for the sprite, and play a short noise is cool. I would like to use this in my dace party.
 * 5) **Gummy Bear Band** - It is obvious that the person took a long time to create this, and put a lot of work into it. It is awesome how the sprites move to the beat of the by costumes. I love the song and think that I will be using it in my video.
 * 6) **A Day In The Life Of Mario** - I like how he timed the music and the Mario sprite so that Mario dies in response to the bad guy yelling though he doesn't move to the beat of the song while he is laying on the ground. The song is awesome and I would like to use this in my project.
 * 7) **Good Time** - It was a __good__ song with a awesome beat and I would love to have it in my project.
 * 8) **DH Dance Party** - It was a awesome dance party that met all the requirements and I would like to use some of the songs in my Dance Party.


 * Stage 2: Design**




 * Plan:**
 * Have buttons that lead to different songs (Gummy Bear, Good Time, Gangnam Style) in the scratch project.
 * Have sprites that move around to the beat of the song.
 * Have the viewer press the space bar to change the background or the color of the background.

 * Evaluate:**
 * 1) One strategy you can use when you get stuck is to just start thinking of ideas and working off of them, and eventually you will find something that you like and will be able to stick with it. Another strategy that you can use if you get stuck is to make a plan of what you are going to do before hand so that if you get stuck you can just look back at your plan and have the ideas right there in front of you.
 * 2) The difference between a sprite and a sprite's costume is that a sprite is the thing that will actually move around on the screen and you can give it commands, but a sprite's costume is a different image of the sprite that you can switch the sprite to in the middle of the programing.
 * 3) one strategy to adding music is to make it yourself in scratch, or you can coy it from someone else scratch project than put it in a file and you that file in your Sratch project.
 * 4) The purpose of music is to add something for the sprite to dance to, hence the name "dance party".
