Test your parking skills here! Use the arrow keys to move back and forth and the trampolines to jump. Time the jumps to get across the longer gaps.
Can you beat every level? High school is a great time for learning real-world coding skills. For kids in grades , Scratch helps kids build a solid foundation in core concepts before studying text-based language. These are some of the best games on Scratch for peeking inside and seeing what the code in a polished game looks like.
Power Tower! But be careful! Electricity can be dangerous. This one is a really fun platformer, but it is definitely a challenge. Partisan hearts Defend your land from invading pirates! Make use of your trusty axe to defeat the pirates and reclaim your territory. Doom Dungeon 2 hearts Race the clock as you try to escape the dungeon! Each level has different challenges to overcome as you jump around the screen.
The reason for this was to shorten the learning curve and invite more experimentation. Then it was time to get out of the way and let them create. Hopefully this foundation helps students make amazing things on Scratch, and at the same time reinforces the importance of planning in the other aspects of their studies.
With that as a focusing theme, students designed games based on the famous people they we studying. To help with the planning, students completed a form that help captured their original ideas. Links are found at the bottom of this page. Other Files:. Once you figure out these three things, the rest of the game will follow naturally. But you should focus on the one which inspires you the most. Choose something that you will be able to make in an hour or two, as this will be much more gratifying.
Making complicated games like the ones on the Scratch Homepage takes a lot of knowledge and hard work. For example, a medieval themed game would be set in an ancient castle, with knights and horses. A wild west game would be set in the desert, with cowboys and a saloon! Picking a theme can often be the easiest part of making a game, as it follows naturally once you come up with an idea you like. To pick out a theme, try to think of one thing that you want to put in your game.
You can easily expand any of these ideas to become a complete visual theme with both a setting and characters. The next step in making a plan is to figure out what people will do in your game. To do this, you must:. Many of the most popular games are just too complicated for beginners to make. Specifically, try to avoid platformers and fighting games. That said, simple games are still lots of fun to play! Play this simple collecting game, Hungry Hippo! Help the hippo eat, or collect, the food.
Check out this simple dodging game, Cake Chaser! Help the cake escape from the hungry beetle. This is a simple question game, called Number Guesser. Guess what number Giga is thinking of to win!
In this article, we are going to make a collecting game. This is what I've thought of so far for my plan. All I know about my game so far is that I want to move a character around and collect items. The only thing you should see is a cat in the middle of the stage. In Scratch projects, characters and objects are represented by Sprites. These sprites are images, and appear in the main area where your game takes place in the top right, called the Stage.
Sprites can move around and execute code that we give them, which allows us to create some truly awesome projects! Right now, the only sprite that our game contains is the Scratch Cat , included in every project by default.
Now, select your main character from this menu. You can choose from a list of premade sprites, or customize your game and paint new sprites yourself in the costumes tab or paint editor. You can even upload a picture of yourself if you want to! For our game, we will use a mermaid as our first sprite. This is one of the default sprites in the menu, so anyone that wants to can follow along! After creating a sprite, you should see it in the center of the Stage.
The cat will be there as well — unless you want him in your game too, you can delete him if you right-click the trash can icon on his sprite. The code you write on a controllable sprite will allow the sprite to move when the player presses buttons. For our game, we want our mermaid to be able to move around. Check out what this Scratch movement code gives us below by clicking the green flag! Now we've already completed an important part of our game.
The player can now control a sprite, which is one-third of our plan! While backdrops are not necessary to complete a game, they certainly add quite a bit of character. You could make a working game without them, but then your game would simply take place on a white screen!
Choosing a fun backdrop helps communicate the theme of your game, and makes your game more engaging and immersive. This will take you to a backdrop menu , where you can select any backdrop you want. You can also draw your own backdrops, or upload any picture you want from your computer! Scratch is a high-level visual programming language that interacts with users with diagrams and blocks that has the basics of the program inbuilt in it.
Scratch is used to make interactive programs, especially for kids using the block kind of interfaces. In Scratch, we can create games also. Before we make a game, we have to first understand what exactly a game is. A game is an activity or we can say a sport that includes skill, knowledge, etc, in which we follow some certain set of rules or instructions to wins against the opponent. It is a major source of entertainment. Many kinds of interactive games exist which creates fun, enjoyment or for educational purpose.
For every game, two things are compulsory: The player must interact with the game with some kind of control over it. The player must have an objective to complete within the stipulated number of chances or times.
Scratch allows the programmer to make a wide variety of games with lots of ways to control the flow of the game. It has huge collections of the block that gives greater flexibility to the user to code the games.
To start planning a game in Scratch, one need to think of these steps: Start with a plan: It is the initial step of game development. In which we make a plan which includes: what kind of game we want to develop, what is the theme of the game, what are the characters of the game, a game is multiple players or single-player game, what is the difficulty level of the game like easy, moderate, or tough, etc.
Make an Objective: The objective is the main step of the game. In which we plan an objective that the player has to complete.
Figure out a visual sprite: In this step, we plan and create the characters of our game like you want to create a game of car racing so we need a car sprite.
