I am a game programmer

By: Brandon S

This year we learned how to program by creating alot of game programs in Scratch. We made a cat double jump, a daleks game, a raimbow lines program, an asteroids game, and a fruit slicer game. Thank you Al Sweigart for teaching us how to program.

Cat

This is cat double jump the first game we learned how to program.

Daleks game

Daleks

Daleks game was the second ever game we learned how to code

We coded how to make the cat teleport, everytime the cat teleported there would be a five second cool down.

We also coded a shield which had a 10 second cool down after you used it and an additional gameover screen when you lost.

I also coded a firbreath which had a 15 second cool down after you had used it.

Rainbow lines

Lines

The rainbow lines program was a game that made rainbow lines. We coded in a slider which you could use to customize tranparency, thickness of the line, and color

Asteroids game

Asteroid

We created this asteroids game program. We learned how to code

  • Clones
  • Space ship velocity
  • Broad cast and recieve messages that coordinate game activity between sprites
  • A score board
  • Asteroid velocity and rotation
  • A gameover screen

    • Fruit slicer

    fruit

    This was the final game we coded, we programmed:

  • The tracking of cursors using lists
  • A fruit slicer that the player can use to slice fruit that is tossed in the air
  • A display of health that decreases as fruit is missed and falls to the ground
  • a keypress that increases the players health before they lose
  • A cloud variable that keeps track of the highscore among all players
