1 Work on game

1. Work on your own or as a team – everyone needs to be actively coding and contributing.
2. Create all sprites (characters, buttons, doors, objects) and backgrounds that you need – even if they are just sketches
3. Choose which Scratch game toolkit blocks you need for your game.
4. Adapt them to change timings, actions, triggers to suit your game.
   1. Movement of main character
   2. Movement of enemies/other characters
   3. Reaction to other sprites – enemies, doors, coins
      1. new background, respawn, hide,…
      2. Make sure these reverrt back “when green flag clicked”, eg “show”
   4. Scores, lives, timers
   5. Game complete/over
5. Variables – if you have lives, score, timer…create variables for these. Remember to set them at the beginning (when green flag clicked) then change them when something happens.
