It was created by a team based out of MIT to encourage young coders to stretch their abilities and make something new. Scratch is a block-based coding language that can be used to program all sorts of games. But what happens when that ‘creative itch’ comes for a gamer? Well, that’s what Scratch is for! Go to the Scratch Wiki Home to access tutorials, project ideas, etc.Creativity can take many forms, from an artist drawing in a sketchbook, a musician composing a tune, or even a home chef attempting a new meal.

Create your game so there is a way to win the game and lose the game.Have your character interact with multiple objects.Have your character move to a second level after it has finished the first.Have your character be able to jump on top of multiple platforms.Set the gravity so your character falls until landing on a platform.Have the game finish with your character collecting the friendly objects, avoiding the enemy objects, and collecting a prize at the end of the maze.Create a variable that times the game, giving you only so long to get through the maze before you lose the game.As your character travels through the maze, have it avoid enemy objects that could cause you to lose the game, like the ghosts in Mrs.As your character travels through the maze, have it pick up friendly objects, like the dots in Mrs.Create a maze where the character cannot pass through the walls.Have a way to win the game, such as hitting all the blocks with the ball, and have a way to lose the game, such as missing the ball with the paddle.Build in a score variable that earns points each time the ball hits a block.Build multiple blocks that disappear when hit by the ball.(lose points, lose a life, lose the game, etc.) Create a penalty for the ball missing the paddle.Have a ball that bounces off the edges and off your paddle.

If you have “finished” one of these projects, please test your game to make sure all 5 criteria listed under the specific project have been met. I would like you to complete these projects in the order listed. Below are the three final Scratch projects that you will need to complete.
