I Program Games!!!

By: Isabella D.

This year in 6th grade, we learned how to program and create a lot of games in ICT on Scratch. We made a Cat Double Jump, Daleks game, Rainbow lines program, an Asteroidsgame, and the Fruit Slicer. ---Thanks to Al Sweigart for teaching us how to program!---

Cat Double Jump

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

  1. Keypresses
  2. Gravity
  3. Jump
  4. Double Jumping
  5. Wraparounds
  6. Backdrop changes

Daleks Game

The next game we programmed was the Daleks game. In the Daleks game, we learned how to program

  1. A teleport mechanism 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.
  2. A shield that protects the Cat for one second. It that has a cool down period of ten seconds before the shield can be used again.
  3. A game over screen that doubles as a start screen.

  1. Created beautiful patterns of Rainbow Lines
  2. Allowed the player to use variable sliders to select the thickness of the line, the color, and the degree of transparency.
