I like to Program Games!!!

By: Maria S.

This year we learned to code games in Scratch, we learned how to code various games such as the Cat Double Jump, Daleks Game, a Rainbow Lines program, an Asteriod 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 fist thing we coded in Scratch. We learned how to code:

• Keypresses
• Gravity
• Jumping
• Double Jumping
• Wraparounds
• Backdrop changes

Daleks Game

A teleport mechanism the places the Cat at random places on the stage, a cool down timer lasts ten seconds before the Cat can move again.

• A teleport machine that transports the Cat to a random location on the stage. There's a cool down period of five seconds before the Cat can be teleported again.


• A sheild protects the Cat for one second. It has a cool down period of ten seconds before the shield can be used again.


• A game over screen that doubles as a start screen.

Rainbow Lines

We created a program with called Rainbow Lines that:

• Creates amazing patterns of Rainbow Lines


• Lets the player to use sliders to select the thickness of the line, the color, and the amount of transparency.

Asteroids

We created a Asteroids program. While coding this game we learned how to code:

• Clones
• Spaceship velocity
• Broadcast and Receive messages to coordinate game activity between sprites
• A scoreboard
• Asteroid velocity and rotation
• A game over screen

Fruit Slicer

The last game we programed was the Fruit Slicer. We programed:

• The tracking of cursor locations using lists.
• A fruit Slicer that can be used to slice the fruit being tossed up.
• A display of Health the decreases the health as the player misses the fruit.
• A keypress to recover Health before the player loses all of their Health.

I learned a lot about programming in Scratch by programming these games.I hope you enjoyed playing these games which helped me learn how to code.
