Scrolling

Remix the Scrolling project

Name it "4.3 Scrolling" and share it

How can you use scratch to build and interactive game?

In this project, you will create a game. This game includes interactions between sprites, score, and levels. The game is similar to Flappy Bird, where the goal is to keep an object from falling to the ground or touching certain objects.

Start Here

  • Create two sprites: one for the player to control (helicopter) and one to avoid (gliding bars).
  • Make the helicopter interactive.
  • Bring your game to life by adding scripts to make the gliding bars scroll across the stage!



Causes sprite to constantly fall downward

Controls sprite movement

This creates clones, which are used in the script below to make the bars scroll across the screen.


Specifies when the game ends

Requirements & Guidelines

Make the game work!

  • make the helicopter interactive
  • scroll the pipes
  • make it possible to lose

Feeling Stuck? Things to Try:

  • How do you add difficulty to your game? Creating different levels, using a timer, or keeping score are a few examples of things you could do.
  • Experiment with changing the look of your game by editing the backdrops!
  • Explore using different key presses to control your sprites!

Finished?

  • Challenge yourself to do more! Add more levels where speed increases. Add stuff to collect or avoid.
  • Share your project with a neighbor and walk them through your process of exploration and design.
  • On your Portfolio Google Site, embed your Scrolling Scratch project.
  • Help a neighbor!
