How can I make a game and

learn some programming ideas?

Using Scratch

Log in or Register

What do I want to create?

I think I want my game to….

Have a shark that moves around the sea bottom following the mouse pointer.

There will be fish who move around the screen which the shark will eat and then add to a score.

How can I split that passage in to program?

Make it your own

Add the program

What about the fish?

There will be fish who move around the screen which the shark will eat and then add to a score.

Create a variable called score

Add a fish

Make it smaller

Add the program

Copy the fish

Could you….

• Clear the score at the beginning of the game

• Stop the game after all the fish have been eaten

• Add a bonus point fish that adds 5 to the score

• Add an Octopus that if eaten will set all the points to zero
