Lesson 7 - Chase Game

Opening circle

Watch the 'Make a simple game' and 'Make a story' introductory videos on this page: scratch.mit.edu/help/videos/# (near the bottom)

Activity

Create a chase game: One sprite randomly moves on the screen, the second sprite (controlled by the player of the game) tries to run away. You have three lives. When the second sprite is caught, loose a life. When ran out of lives, switch the background to a new background and display a Game Over message.

This is a review of what we have learnt so far. Break the problem into smaller problems: how do you get started? Program the arrow keys to move a sprite, use your digital backpack to copy scripts from your existing projects (copy the arrow keys scripts from you Maze game), loops, keep score using a variable, broadcast and receive. Share your game and put it in the 'jqs coding club' Scratch studio.
