I use broadcast blocks a lot in Scratch, so I spent a while trying to think of a different way to use them for this project. In the end I mostly failed to think of an original use for the broadcasts. I used a couple of my favorite extensions (text-to-speech and music) to create a concert scene. The broadcasts make backgrounds change, sprites appear, and music begin. These are similar to ways I have used broadcasts in the past. However, I am pleased enough with how it turned out and think it will serve as another example for my students on how to use the broadcasts to control the flow of their projects. I took inspiration from @kfugle 's Hello, World (Day 0?) project to gather information about the user at the start of the project. The info gets stored as variables and then broadcasts start the next part of the project. T-rex talks and gives directions to the user. Then there is a 4 count (using the wood block percussion sound to simulate striking drumsticks together). Another broadcast starts a generic bass line and a 15 second countdown timer. It is well known that T-rex could not play guitar for a long time because of their short arms. When the timer reaches 0 an "end" broadcast is sent. The base line stops and T-rex says good bye. The note playing scripts are on the speaker sprite. The key is G major. Things I want to figure out how to do include disabling the note playing key presses when the timer gets to zero and stopping the costume changes at the end as well.
