A few of my students recently submitted identical projects for Unit 3 Lesson 22. If we were at school, I would think that they had shared their ideas. However, since we went virtual and these students rarely communicated with each other in class before, I am wondering if they found the project through the public share. How can I search for past projects that were created by other people? Do the project that are remixed carry identifiable information about the original creator that cannot be changed?
Any thoughts on how to reduce “cheating” or “sharing” would be helpful.
Below is the code for the game. The costumes in the game include an alien, a hamburger, a fence and a cactus:
// Create your variables here
var score = 0;
var itemLocation = randomNumber(410, 500);
// Create your sprites here
var player = createSprite(50, 270);
player.setAnimation(“alienUp”);
player.scale = 0.15;
var item = createSprite(200, 200);
item.setAnimation(“burger_1”);
item.scale = 0.1;
item.velocityX = -3;
var obstacle = createSprite(300, 275);
obstacle.setAnimation(“fence_wood_1”);
obstacle.scale = 0.4;
obstacle.velocityX = -2;
var obstacle2 = createSprite(200, 275);
obstacle2.setAnimation(“cactus_1”);
obstacle2.scale = 0.4;
obstacle2.velocityX = -2;
var sun = createSprite(350, 50);
sun.setAnimation(“sun”);
sun.scale = 0.5;
var sun2 = createSprite(350, 50);
sun2.setAnimation(“sun2”);
sun2.scale = 0.5;
