Fish!

Scratch File: 

Fish! (version 2.0) is a simple game that can be built by a novice scratch programmer. The main character is a shark which is controlled by the mouse and wanders around the screen eating fish. Yellow fish taste nice but eating a red fish will give the shark indigestion. You can play the game on this page and also play and comment on the scratch website and view a video of how to make the game.

Dog and Crab

Dog and Crab is an example of one of the simplest games you can make and involves two sprites using broadcast messages to to interact with each other.

Press the green flag and use the mouse to get the dog to follow the crab and watch the crab run away.

Make a Game

Many of the children should by now be fairly competent Scratch programmers and will have explored and used many of the programming blocks not covered directly in the previous lessons. Some will have already been working on their projects for a few sessions and may be creating a game or a multimedia application. This lesson covers the basics of creating a game and should be explored even if the pupil has decided not to create a game as their final project. Several sample games of differing complexity can be used during this session with alternative video tutorials available.
