This is my first Scratch project! The initial concept involved thinking about blood cells eating a bacteria. That is way too complicated for me at this point, so I tried to boil it down to the most minimal but similar interaction, which ended up being two objects passing each other in a hallway. (I thought maybe the blue and yellow would somehow intersect and turn into green, one absorbing the other.) This pushed me toward exploring perception and depth of the objects and how they interact in the frame. I wanted to make it seem like one was getting closer to the other and vice versa. Turning them into planet-like objects came after I started playing with changing the background to give more of a sense of motion. I found the interface complicated. I assumed the sprites and pieces of data would reset to a default state when you reset the program. However, they don't... so I got super confused when I tried to make my planet spin. When I decided to revert to my original code, the timing and position were completely off and different from what I had originally. Was inspired by @jsh using layers to give the sense that the fish were moving between bubbles.
