Create a new project or Use a Past Project & Make it Better

Name it "4.7 Game" and share it

Get into game design by adding extended features within your Scratch project!

Also look at your code for 4.6 challenges, there is some good code from that one too!

Goal: make a game that is awesome!

  • Keep Score and/or have a Timer

  • Title Screen with a help screen with directions (i.e. different background)

  • Must be school appropriate, and not infringe on copyright.

    • i.e. if it would get a copystrike on YouTube it is not acceptable

Feeling Stuck? Things to Try:

  • The backpack can be an extremely useful tool while programming in Scratch. It can store everything from lines of code, to music files, to sprites, and more. Try using it to incorporate extensions into you game projects. (allows you to save and copy code from other projects.

  • Alternatively, sketching out ideas and bits of code on paper is another great method for planning how to incorporate your extensions.

Finished?

  • Add another extension to your game.

  • Challenge yourself to do more! Continue going through each of the links and add them to your game.

  • Help and share with a neighbor and give each other feedback on your games to make them better!

  • On your Portfolio Google Site, embed your 4.7 Scratch project.
