- Open Scratch page, click file – upload from my computer – find your file
- Use catch up cards and each other, but try to think for yourself first – can you work it out?
Recap learning journey on code-it website
Timescale – this week and next to finish game then we will evaluate our game and the skills we have learned.
So far we have done…
- CAT
-
- When left arrow pressed, turn left 15 degrees
- When right arrow pressed, turn right 15 degrees
- Forever move forward
- Forever change costume – walking
- BACKGROUND
- Draw maze walls one colour
- Draw start and finish places (could be text or picture)
Next steps
- if cat hits the wall – stop (put this in the moving block)
- make a coin sprite
- show at the beginning
- hide when sprite touches (forever checking)
- make a variable called “score” (data blocks)
- add one to score when sprite touches coin
- Add another maze to the backgrounds
- Get it to change background when you finish the maze
- Make a “lives” variable – start the game with 3 lives and lose one every time you hit the wall
- Add an intro/instructions screen at the beginning
- Add a “Game over” screen which appears when there are no more lives left
- Make up your own variation
