I am Game Programmer on Scratch 🎮

By: Brady 💎

This year we learned how to program by creating a lot of game programs in Scratch. We made a Cat Double Jump, Daleks Game, Asterods Game, Rainbow Lines, and Fruit Slicer. Thanks to Al Sweigart for teaching us how to code.

🐱 The Cat Double Jump 🐱

The first Scratch program we made that taught us how to program was the Cat Double Jump:

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

🦇 The Daleks game 🦇

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

• 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.


• 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.


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

🌈 Rainbow Lines🌈

We created a Rainbow Lines program that:

• Created beautiful patterns of Rainbow Lines

🪐 Asteroids 🪐

We created an Asteroids game program. We learned how to code:

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

🍉 The Fruit Slicer 🍉

This was the final game program we created. We programmed:

• The tracking of cursor locations using lists.
• A Fruit Slicer that the play canuse to slice fruit as they are tossed up in the air.
• A display of Health that decreases as fruit is missed and falls to the ground.

I learned a lot about programming in Scratch. I hope you enjoyed playing my games!
