Scratch: developing a game

This term in computing we are going to make our own computer game using Scratch. Scratch is a free programming website and software that you can use to build games, quizzes, stories and animations.

In our first lesson we looked at an example code and followed the instructions to build the code for the program. You have to choose the correct blocks to build the instructions for the Sprite or character on screen. The blocks are split into different categories like motion, sound, looks and events. You can also design or import a background, so your Sprite can move around a castle or avoid blocks in a maze.

We designed our game this week, and had to think about the overall aim. Was it to avoid things or collect objects? We had a mixture of both. Some of us were really challenging ourselves and want to introduce levels to our game, which the Sprite will have to work through.

We can’t wait to build our game and play it!
