Since week one I’ve been thinking about [this thread](https://lcl-discuss.media.mit.edu/t/progress-bar/3814) started by @JJLBailey. The discussion revolved about this course and having some sort of _progress bar_ or some other indicator of completion. There is nothing of this sort in LCL, as you’re encouraged to do as much or little as you can/want to, but it made me think. After all, having some sort of _map_ of where you are, or a list of things you wanna do, or have done, seems understandable.

Appart from the videos/readings and so on, what I get most of every round of LCL is the interactions with the people in the community, be it in the chats (not this round for me…) or here in the forum.

So I decided to make a journal. You can see it in Scratch here:

There I’m recollecting some of the most interesting conversations and interactions I’ve been having here, so thanks to those mentioned there (@JayElf @tarmelop @OLVL @dodekagonia @Becky @Shoshannah @mradub @JJLBailey … if I’m not forgetting someone!).

[Feel free to remix](https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/686100553/), of course!

It’s been inspiring in itself to go over the previous days and make a collection of beautiful experiences. And definitely LCL counts as one of my interests!

The most difficult challenge was to have all those colored pegs not colliding with the text. I considered arranging them in a frame, but it seemed tedious to code. I tried color detection, with seemed easier, but for some reason it was buggy (I may have been doing something wrong…). In the end, sprite collision detection worked much better 😄

So there goes my tiny LCL-inspired Scratch project!
