Building Games with Scratch 2.0

Scratch 2.0 - What It Is 4 lectures 28:39 Getting Started: What It Is Get started by making fun games and multimedia projects. Even if you've never coded before, you'll love what you can create and share with Scratch.

• Visit the Scratch website
• Create a new project, right in your web browser
• Assemble a script and publish your project

Animating and Controlling a Sprite with the Keyboard Start customizing your Scratch project by making an animated character print out a message and then by controlling the character with the keyboard. Along the way, you'll begin to appreciate how the Scratch programming environment encourages exploration and discovery.

• Create a new Scratch project, and display a "Hello world" message (or whatever message you want)
• Add scripts to animate the Sprite in response to the right and left arrow keys
• Refine the motion and make the sprite face the direction where it's going

Adding Treasures to Collect and Threats to Avoid What's a game without a goal? Add treasures to collect and threats to avoid.

• Add an apple, and add script to make it disappear when touched, and repeat the process with a donut. Reset all three sprites
• Keep score (adding a point when you eat the apple) and manage health (lose some when you touch the donut)
• Engage the player with audio, video, and kinetic feedback

Publishing Your Work on the Scratch Website Publishing your work on the Scratch website makes you part of a community. Find projects to remix and build on, and share your own work with other Scratchers.

Breakout. 5 lectures 25:05 Creating a Bouncing Ball Scratch comes with dozens of useful graphics that you can use as a starting point. We'll import the image of a ball from the library, and add a behavior to it.

• Create a new sprite by importing from the library
• Make the ball move
• Make the ball bounce
• Create a new sprite, and draw the paddle costume with the Scratch sprite editor
• Control the position of the paddle with the mouse
• On startup, move the ball to the paddle

Implementing Ball Interactions with Paddle In a paddle-based arcade game, we expect certain things. The ball should bounce off the paddle, and missing the ball should make something bad happen. Here's where our project starts to look like a game.

• Make the ball bounce when it hits the paddle
• End the game when the ball hits the bottom of the screen
• Add some feedback

A Brick That Vanishes When Hit by the Ball Bouncing a ball on an empty screen isn't fun for long. In this section, we'll give the player targets.

• Use the sprite editor to create a brick
• Hide the brick when the ball touches it
• Add scores and implement broadcasting messages

Creating a Wall of Bricks with Cloning It's tedious to create individual items and arrange them on the playing field. We can automate the process using the "Clone" and “Repeat” blocks.

• Explore the cloning brick
• Use the “Repeat” brick to lay out a row of bricks
• Use another “Repeat” block to create multiple rows

Adding a "Win Game" State We'll keep score, and end the game with an appropriate message when the playing field is clear ongImplementing the Score and Health Now that we have the most important parts of the game working, we need to keep a track of their interaction in...
