[Part 1]
This is an interesting project from Scratch. The player is a square, and as you jump and move with the arrow keys, you collect coins and dodge hazards. The game moves really fast, so I've never won yet, but I like how it uses a reward and obstacle system.

This is the game I made with Scratch, and it was my first time using the program. I wanted to give it a Hansel and Gretel vibe, so I added a ghost, a skeleton, and a bat to create an eerie atmosphere. What I found interesting was that every sprite behaved exactly according to the logic I set. I wanted the game to automatically stop when the player reached a certain score. At first, none of the sprites were moving, so I had to figure out why. I eventually realized that the stop-all block was placed in the wrong spot. I learned that where a block is placed, and which block contains which, completely changes the outcome. So when the result finally worked the way I wanted, it felt very rewarding.
I created three variables: score, previous score, and timer.
With these, I was able to make the game end automatically when the score reaches 7, showing a speech bubble that says "Yay! You made it!" If the player keeps hitting penalty items and drops to -10, a "Try again!" bubble appears, and the game stops.

This project made me think that programming can also belong in an art class. It lets students create stories, characters, and visual worlds in a different way. It also teaches problem-solving through a creative process.
Instruction: Help Froggie earn 7 points!
There is a score box on the top right. It increases as you collect reward items such as a donut, glasses, a crystal, a taco, a star, a fortune cookie, and jam. Move using the arrow keys. Once you reach 7 points, you win. If you miss rewards, hesitate for too long, or drop below -10 points, the game ends, and then you can start over. Please enjoy!

ReplyDeleteI finally got to play your game! You did a really great job.
If you wanted to take this project further I think it would be interesting to see what asssts you could make to take the place of the scratch project, considering what type of vibe you want for your game. For me right now it feels like a mix of silly and spooky.
I’d also be interested in seeing you add an instructions page and you win page, just don’t ask me how to code it! Great job!
Although Kate told me you can go in a copy other peoples code and edit it so that would probably be very helpful.
