Dance Party
Design your own game with Scratch. The second project is a race car (or other objects in a maze) where sensors trigger an event. (Must use sensors).
I am attaching a few mazes for you to use. The sprite is all yours to make.
Requirements:
Must drive the sprite to the end of the maze. (Use keys to control its movements)
One sensor: If the sprite touches the maze walls, it has to go back to the beginning.
When it reaches the end, a prize or win must display (be very creative here).
BONUS; IF YOU HAVE A NUMBER OF LIVES FOR THE SPRITES
BONUS: IF YOUR SPRITE REACHES THE END AND IT TRIGGERS A LEVEL TWO WHERE THE MAZE CHANGES.
BONUS: IF YOU CAN KEEP A SCORE OF SOME SORT FOR ACHIEVING DIFFERENT LEVELS.
Your Scratch project must have:
Switch screens (backdrop) 20%
If then statements. (Conditions) 20%
At least one loop. 20%
Sound 20%
Different Sprites and costumes 20%
_______________________________________________________________
This game design will require you to create a road map of your choice as a background.(30%)
And use a Sprite to drive around on the road that you created. (30%).
A second sprite will be the "bad virus" running around randomly. (30%).
To win, the player will have to drive all the way to the end of the road and not get off the road, and at the same time avoiding to be hit by the bad virus running around.
You can add a number of lives (optional) for how many time you can survive
You can add a second level for the game (optional) and use a different road, different sprites and so on.
You can also increase the difficulty with each level adding two bad viruses running around...
Some helpful hints:
You will need to create the backdrop yourself by using the Scratch image editor or upload one from the Internet. (Be creative)
The sprite you are driving around on the road should be easy to flip side. (You may want to stick to something round if it gets too difficult for you to have a car point in a different direction: Just remember what we did with the ROVER).
To keep the sprite on the road, you drive it. You need user interaction. You will need an algorithm that moves the sprite back to the beginning if it touches the edge. (You can use a color sensor).
If it touches the other sprite, (the bad virus), it will move to the beginning. ( You will need an algorithm with an if ... then ).
Finish the game. Be creative. Have fun playing it. And let your parents play with it and share some ideas on how to make it even better. Remember, creativity is always welcome and encouraged.

After the break project:
Make a Scratch project to summarize your break. Let the class know what you did. (Review project).
The story must be told completely by programming the sprites and switching backgrounds and so on. (Use of broadcast etc). The entire story should be initiated beginning to end with one click.
Scratch1: Telling a story. Remake a movie scene with codes.Students are asked to complete two Scratch project.
The first is where a story is told completely by programming the sprites and switching backgrounds and so on. (Use of broadcast etc). The entire story should be initiated beginning to end with one click.
Scratch2: Design your own game with Scratch. The second project is a race car (or other object in a maze) where sensors trigger an event. (Must use sensors).
Doodle4Google using Scratch: Using Scratch: Complete a set of exercises from Scratch which are designed by Google to cover most aspects of Scratch programming and creativity. For each of the exercises you create, you have to post an icon-like screenshot of the designed digital artifact and post it on your digital portfolio. You also must add the published Scratch on Mr. Beyrouthy's Scratch studio.
