Hello everyone.
Good to see everyone there on Saturday. We made a game t similar to on old game called Breakout.
We used a number of important coding concepts again this week, loops and decisions, Variables, broadcasting, etc.
During class, we didn’t have time to add the Lives and the Scores but we will continue with the game on Saturday.
Here is a link to the notes: cda-s6-week_07-breakout.pdf

Hello Everyone
Great to see so many of you there on Saturday, 77 Ninjas!. Hope you had a good time. And a special welcome to our new Ninjas.
This week we created a Ghostcatcher game. We used the paint editor in Scratch for the first time. As I said on Saturday, It makes things easier if you think in shapes.
Using the code we have learned so far, we moved the Ghostcatcher with the mouse and the Ghosts randomly. We also added some sound.
We are going to continue on next week and improve this game, adding some Variables and some levels.
Here are this weeks notes in PDF. cda-s6-week_04-ghostcatcher.pdf
Hi everyone,
Great to see you all there on Saturday. This weeks starting point was our game from last week. We wanted to add extra functionality. We added code to the Snowflake so that something happened when the Penguin touched it. Most people added some sound.
We also made our first variable. We did this so that we could keep track of our score. Using this score we also could add code to make something happen when you reached a certain score and win the game. Again here we added a sound and switched backgrounds.
We learned and used a lot of new code this week and we will see over the coming weeks how we can incorporate it into many different types of games.
Why don’t you try using all the code you have learned so far to create your own game.
See you all next week!
