A dynamic visualization of a machine, of more machines, which all work with each other in order to function a whole system. What seems like an animation is not really an animation that goes from A to B. This machine is entirely programmed in Scratch (as much as the program allowed it). If you watch closer you can see for example the scale listing to the certain aspects of the sheep and the arm getting the hair...

Feel free and look at my code, here

Making this I had so much fun, it was like playing with lego. But clearly not a piece of cake, especially if you are not a programmer... why don't you give it a try

(Scratch is designed to help young people (ages 8 and up) develop 21st century learning skills. As they create and share Scratch projects, young people learn important mathematical and computational ideas, while also learning to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively. Scratch is developed by the Lifelong Kindergarten group at the MIT Media Lab, with financial support from the National Science Foundation, Microsoft, Intel Foundation, Nokia, and MIT Media Lab research consortia.
