I am a game programmer!

Chase B.

This year we learned how to program by creating multiple games on the website Scratch. These games include, Cat double Jump, Dalecks Game, Rainbow Lines Program, Asteroids Game, and a Fruit Slicer Game.-- Thank you Al Sweigart for teaching us how to code!--

Cat double Jump

The cat double jump game was our first adventure into coding. In this program, we learned how to code multiple different things, including:

• Keypresses
• Gravity
• Jumping
• Wraparounds
• Backdrop Changes

Daleks Game

After we finished with the Cat Double Jump game, we coded the Daleks Game. This game had features such as:

• A teleport tool that teleports the character to a random point on the stage. This feature has a cooldown of 5 seconds
• A shield that protects the cat for 1 second and kills the bats. This feature has a cooldown of 10 seconds.
• A game over screen that also acts as a starting screen.

Rainbow Lines

Next, we crated a Rainbow Lines program that:

• Created spectacular patterns of rainbow lines
• Had sliders that allowed users to change input

Asteroids Game

We created an Asteroids game with the following:

• Clones
• UFO velocity
• Broadcast and receive messaeges
• A scoreboard
• Asteroid velocity and rotation
• A game over screen

Fruit Slicer

The final game we created was a Fruit Ninja style game. It had the following:

• Tracking of the cursor using lists
• A fruit slicer the player can use to slice fruit
• A health bar that decreases when fruit is missed
• keypresses that allow the player to recover health
• A cloud variable that tracks all players scores.

I learned tons about programing using scratch. I hope you had as much fun playing them as I did making them!
