Y6 Scratch LQ: How do I make my game?

• Be resilient – Don’t expect to have a game in the first session.
• Be strategic – Focus on one thing at a time

A suggested order:

1. Choose your sprite
   1. from library?
   2. Search online for picture
      1. search for png files, eg search “zebra png”
      2. save image as…
      3. in Scratch, import from file
      4. ** edit in Scratch to get 2 (or more) costumes
2. Make your sprite move
   1. keyboard/mouse controls
3. Design your background(s)
   1. decide what is actually the background
      1. obstacles, coins etc to collect,… may be better as sprites
   2. photo background
      1. search online and save image as…
      2. make sure they are marked for reuse
      3. be careful if you want your sprite to react to colours
