Mitosis to the Rescue

Inspiration

For the soccer aspect, the inspiration came from my brother who likes to play soccer with his friends. The cell cycle aspect came from what we are learning in science in my 7th grade Life Science class. We are learning about mitosis and how cells multiply. I was very fascinated when we first learned about it and that topic fit perfectly into the hackathon theme.

What it does

It is an interactive soccer game that teaches you about the cell cycle. It provides a fun learning experience and doesn't feel like a boring review.

How I built it

I built it on the platform Scratch. Using various YouTube videos, I learned how to make the code run smoothly.

Challenges I ran into

A couple of challenges I ran into were not being able to make sprites hide and not fully understanding how to use some of the sensory blocks.

Accomplishments that I am proud of

1. I was able to sit down and code for a long duration of time without getting distracted, and I really enjoyed it.
2. I was responsible for the design, and the code. Also, this is my first project to be submitted in a hackathon. ## What I learned I learned that I should always make a plan before I execute. I also learned how to use different blocks in Scratch such as the cloning block, the broadcast block, and the sensory blocks.

What's next for Mitosis to the Rescue

I will add more levels and more choice into the game. I can have the user pick their character and even pick the color of the ball.
