Makey Makey Beginner Football Guide

My instructable is an interactive site where you can read and learn about the 4 most important positions in football, the running back, the quarterback, the cornerback, and the wide receiver. My target demographic is anyone trying to grasp a basic understanding of football, I believe my project can give a thorough understanding of these 4 positions. Someone would find this useful because it provides a basic understanding of the 3 positions, not too complicated but complete enough that the reader can understand more about football.

Supplies

Supplies

Empty DVD player

Tape

4 football action figures and a referee action figure

Printed out football field

Conductive material

Programming Scratch

Upload a football field as a backdrop and a quarterback sprite

Coding the Sprite

Code quarterback sprite to be at a certain position when flag clicked and to say the job of a quarterback when certain button is pressed. Ex: when up arrow is pressed, the quarterback sprite will say the job of the quarterback.

Showing It in Action

Create a new backdrop for the quarterback, import a gif of the quarterback in action on the new backdrop. Use a command to show that gif when a certain number is pressed. Ex: when 1 key is pressed, switch backdrop to quarterback in action. In the backdrop, the gif will play.

Repeat the Process

Repeat steps 2, 3 and 4 for other positions such as receiver, running back, etc. Remember to put the positions in a sensible place on the field compared to the other positions

Making the Project

Putting the Players In
