1.To make the code functioning on scratch you have to first record audio clips of the name of each coin and its value.

2. To make each input play the correct sound you must have if then statements to play each sound on each input. 3. In order to make the correct visual code you must also have messages being broadcasted for each sound to give each sprite the information on when to show and hide themselves.

4.To connect the makey makey you must connect the alligator clips to the pieces of aluminum foil and connect them to the corresponding input from scratch.

5.You also need a ground wire to finish the circuit when the inputs are given.
