Video Week 1 – Snakes & Ladders

Hi everyone!

Hope you are all keeping safe and well, getting lots of exercise and fresh air, doing your work that your teachers have given you and of course helping out around the house.

I’ve made a video of how to make a snakes & ladders game in scratch. It is tailored towards my Explorers Group here in Coderdojo, Athenry but of course it is available to anyone and feel free to share it.

I hope to do more if I can but you’ll get notified when a new video is up. I have created a YouTube channel so you can the video as it was too large for this website.

Here is the link: https://youtu.be/cjQ0qE6ALLI

Hope to see you all soon and don’t forget,

KEEP WASHING THOSE HANDS!

Explorers Week 5&6 – Pacman

Posted on by

For the last two weeks (with a break for a Red Weather Warning!) we worked on a Pacman type game. We tried to put in all the code we have learned over this year and all the games were brilliant and all so different.

 

We designed our own sprites rather than take them from the library.

 

Here are the notes in PDF CDA-S9-Week_05_Pacman.pdf

Here is a link to the game if you want to check it out. https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/375094277

See you two weeks time, keep yourselves safe and healthy.
