Project: Ghostbusters

Introduction

We're having a break from HTML and CSS this week to have a little fun with block based coding in Scratch. Create a simple game where you catch as many ghosts as you can in the time given.

What you will make

A ghost catching game like this one.

What you will learn

Block based coding with Scratch.
Generating random numbers.
Adding a variable to store a game score.
How to use pauses between actions in loops.

What you will need

A computer or tablet capable of accessing the internet.

Let's get started

Use this link to go to the Code Club online project: projects.raspberrypi.org/en/projects/ghostbusters and follow each step in the project.

Challenge 1: More randomness - add code to make the ghost sprite wait a random amount of time.

Challenge 2: Add a sound - add code to the ghost sprite so that it makes a sound when it’s caught.

Challenge 3: Add more sprites - add other sprites to your game.
