Activity Directions
Description:
100 Level - No experience necessary
Go to the "Magic 8 Ball" app tutorial on the App Inventor website. Complete the tutorial and then modify the app to personalize it in some way. You could change the list of answers, change the image on the screen, and/or change the way the user activates the app to give a new prediction (for example, clicking a button, touching the screen, shaking the phone are all different ways the app can be activated.)
How to complete this activity: When you have modified the app in some way, make a blog post about what you did. Be sure to include some screenshots of the app. Write about why someone might like to download and use this app. Someone reading your blog should be able to decide if they would like to use this app based on your review.
