Scratch testing

In this link, I have posted the project in which I will be testing out various things in Scratch. This is primarily concerned with testing the time related attributes in Scratch. I am also in the process of re familiarizing myself with it, because I have not touched Scratch or coding in general for a while.

451 project week 3 update

After visiting rhizome and viewing various artists, I particularly enjoyed the interactivity and choice making of "Do You Want Love or Lust" where each decision made asks relevant questions endlessly and never awards a score, parodying similar questionnaires. It was interesting, and entertaining much in the same manner as a game. At this point I may be considering to make my piece more game-like, while still retaining its art-like qualities.

As for concept, I'm now imagining a time based website, where something different will happen depending on either a real time clock or a timer that a user can set. The imagery or interactivity will change depending on the time, most likely corresponding to a proportionate amount of time in human advancement, from past to present, and then a hypothetical time afterwards.

I'm planning on programming this at first, using Scratch as the coding engine, because of its simplicity, and then work on transitioning it to a website hosted for free, with an appropriately named url. Perhaps the website could host the Scratch project, as well as form its own thing, essentially becoming 2 different projects relating to the same concept.
