Quarky Robotic Arm Project - Block Coding

Refer to the tutorials to learn how to use PictoBlox Block Coding Environment to code Quarky Robotic Arm for different applications.

Ball Trajectory – Simple

The example demonstrates the ball falling in gravity in a box. Using the pen extension we are also tracking the trajectory of the ball.

Bouncing Ball – Coefficient of Restitution

In this example, we will analyze the effect of the bounce property of the sprite using a ball. We will track the ball using the pen extension and the color will change with the y velocity of the ball.

Shooting Bullets with Physics

In this example, we are making a rocket shoot bullets to the mouse pointer when the space key is pressed.

Covid Experiment – Velocity

In this example, we simulate the covid experiment using the physics simulation.

Scrolling Background

In this example, we are making a scrolling background that can be used in games.

Scrolling Background in 2D

In this example, we are making a scrolling background in 2 dimensions that can be used in games.

Dodge the Ball Game

This example demonstrates the use of Physics simulation in a game where Tobi has to dodge the random ball coming towards it by jumping.

Falling Ball on Incline

The example demonstrates how to set up the stage with obstacles and make a ball fall on a series of inclines.

Physics Game with Spin

This example demonstrates the use of Physics simulation in a game where Tobi has to navigate across the obstacles by spinning.

Get Me the Apple Game

This example demonstrates the use of Physics simulation in a game where Tobi has to go to the apple by jumping on the slabs.

Flame Detector & Alarm System

In this example, we are going to learn how to control the flame sensor to detect flame and start the exit alarm sequence that includes opening the gate, alarm beeping, and fan turned ON.

Display Temperature Data from ThingSpeak Cloud

In this example, we will learn how to retrieve the temperature data from the ThingSpeak channel and display it on the Quarky display.

HTTP Request For Weather Data

In this example, we will understand how to use HTTP requests to get weather data from OpenWeatherMap API.
