I am a Game Programer!!!!

By Daniel G.

This year, we learned how to program by creating many many game programs in Scratch. We made a Cat Double Jump, a Daleks Game, a Rainbow Lines Game, An Astroids Game, and a Fruit Slicer Game -- Thank you Al Sweigart for teaching us how to program!-

Cat Double Jump

The Cat Double Jump was the first game we coded. We learned how to program:

  • Keypresses
  • Gravity
  • Jumping
  • Double Jumping
  • Wraparounds
  • Backround Changes

    The Daleks Game

    The second game we programmed was called the Daleks Game. In the Daleks Game, we learned to program:

  • A teleport mechanism that transports the Cat to a random point on the stage. There's an awsome cooldown timer of 5 seconds inbetween each available keypress
  • A shield that protects the cat for only one second. It also has a cooldown but this time 10 seconds instead of 5 so the shield isn't overpowered
  • A Game screen that doubles as a start screen

    Rainbow Lines

    We also created a beatiful program that creates Rainbow Lines *if you couldn't tell by the name* and the program can:

  • Allows the player to utilize the sliders by adjusting the thickness, color, and transparency of the lines

    Asteroids

    We created an Asteroid destroying game. We learned how to:

  • Clones
  • Spaceship Velocity
  • Broadcast and Recieve messages that coordinates game activity between sprites
  • A Scoreboard
  • Asteroid Velocity and Rotation
  • A Game over Screen

    Fruit Slicer

    This was the final game we created. We added features like:

  • The tracking of your cursor using lists
  • A fruit slicer that the player can use to slice fruit while it's being tossed into the air
  • A display of health that decreases when you let fruit fall to the ground
  • A keypress that allows the player to recover their health before they loes all their helth in the game
  • A cloud variable that keeps track of all the high scores among us players

    • I learned alot about coding game in Scratch. I hope you enjoyed playing them
