Hands-on Scratch Programming and Game Development

Explore the Scratch coordinate system (XY grid) with origin at the center, and learn how X and Y values move sprites to positions using position blocks.

Design an animated start page by placing a galaxy background, assembling alphabet sprites into a single block, and making the word glide to random positions forever after the green flag.

Build a striker game in scratch by coding a paddle that tracks the mouse, resets on green flag, and uses loops, variables for scoring, and operators to drive gameplay.

Build a scratch striker game in part 3 by detecting touches, reversing the ball, and updating a score variable until the ball hits the ground.

Create green pipes as obstacles in Scratch by drawing, duplicating, and flipping them vertically, then use a forever loop to glide along the x-axis toward the bird after green flag.

Learn to make a Scratch Flappy Bird game harder by using touching color conditions and an or block, add sounds and text, and adjust pipe timing.

Create a Scratch hissing snake game by designing the head, body, tongue, and eyes. Program arrow-key controls inside a forever loop to steer the snake with directional angles.

Add a score variable that starts at zero and appears on top left when the snake eats items; start the snake at center and end the game at the edge.

Clone the snake body to lengthen it as the head eats, align the new segment, and add a tiny delay plus a game-over broadcast.

Develop a scratch snake game by spawning apples at random x and y positions, increasing the score when the snake head eats an apple, and adding a hiss sound.

Design the game over screen that appears when the snake hits the edge, triggered by a gameover broadcast, with a centered background and text, and set head size to 50.

Explore drawing polygonal shapes with Scratch's pen extension, using loops to form triangles, squares, pentagons, hexagons, and octagons with precise turns and pen settings.

Discover video sensing in Scratch using the onboard camera to detect colors and control sprites. Create interactive games by setting color-based conditions, matching gestures, and triggering movements, sounds, and animations.
