Earlier, I made a coding website with tips about coding. Well today, I made an extension which translates what you type into pirate speak. Click here to open the extension. I made this extension with help from a tutorial which helped me a lot when making this website. I hope you like talking like a pirate with this handy helper. The phrases that will be translated are:
Hello
You
Stop
Yes
Loot
Turn the ship around
Bottom of the sea
Goodbye and good luck
Look out, cannon fire
Get out of the way
My crew
Throw that overboard
i’m not sure you’ve thought through this course of action
There is also a unique sentence starter when you start typing.
The week before my birthday I went to Apple Camp for a 3 day course on how to use a Sphero. A Sphero (pronounced sfeero) is a robot that can come as Star Wars droids, spiderman, and as a SPRK or SPRK+. I was using the SPRK+ at Apple; it’s the best and has more functions than some of the others. You control the robot using the Sphero Edu app, which allows you to draw a path that represents Javascript, you can use blocks that represent Javascript or you can write in JavaScript. I was using the blocks to make the robot move change LED colors and make sounds.
Day1
On day 1, I made code to create a square.

This is the video of what I learnt at apple camp with a Sphero that I got for my birthday.
Then I shortened the code using loops.

Then again using functions.
Square shortened into a function
At the end of the session I created a program that could run a square, triangle, octagon and hexagon in a row.
square, triangle, octagon, hexagon
Day2
On day 2, I created a game where you had to throw Sphero faster than 3 g’s (g – force) else you’re out of the game.
this is my throwing program
Day3
On the last day, I made a story of how Sphero goes outside for a spot of gardening and he hears a football match beginning. He doesn’t know what it is, so he is scared and goes inside; later his friend tells him what it was and he isn’t scared anymore.
Then I got a certificate for creating an amazing project at Apple Camp.
