8. Loopar: Gör det om och om igen

Något som är väldigt praktiskt när man programmerar är att använda loopar.

En loop är när man bestämmer att datorn ska köra ett eller flera block om och

om igen. Du bestämmer själv vilka block och hur många gånger de ska köras,

sen tar datorn hand om resten.

I Scratch finns det några olika sätt att göra en loop på. I vårt spel vill vi att

katten ska springa fram och tillbaka över scenen hela tiden, så då kan vi

använda ett block som heter ”för alltid”. Det är ett gult block som ligger under

kategorin ”Kontroll”.

Fortsätter du att klicka på startknappen många gånger så ser du att katten

går fram en liten bit varje gång som du klickar – och när den kommer fram till

en kant på scenen så vänder den om och börjar gå åt andra hållet. Nu kan du få

katten att springa fram och tillbaka hur länge som helst!

Fast efter några hundra klick på startknappen kanske det börjar göra lite ont i

musklickarfingret? Nästa steg är att be datorn att göra så att katten går fram

och tillbaka helt automatiskt!

Black Vogue – Skönhetens nyanserLovette Jallow

How to lay the perfect foundation, how to get your eyebrows just perfect and how to find the right products for your skin tone? All that and more will be addressed.

Here she gathers her considerable knowledge in a book, in order to make it easier for you to find and get it right! 192 pages, young adults

A unique make-up book!

The only European book to date, about

make-up for black women

“We have created a beauty manual for women, men and intergender persons with darker skin tones who are interested in make-up and want to learn more about make-up techniques and how to use various make-up products. The book is the first of its kind in Europe, using black models of all nuances and ages. It also contains stories by black women from different social classes about how it is to grow up in today’s society and how we are, and have been, influenced by white beauty norms.

We know that our book has been missing from the market and that there is a great need for it. We hope that

it will strengthen black women’s sense of self and give them a more positive self-image. It is full of beautiful

pictures of real, black women, step-by-step instructions and inspirational pictures for how

to achieve different make-up looks.”
