Challenge: Create a project that involves one or more sprites jumping or flying. For example, you could animate a bird flying through the clouds or a video-game character jumping across lava. GOAL of the game: Score 10. Space bar to shoot. Don't get hit. This sample was created to show how you can control a sprite with UP, DOWN, RIGHT and LEFT to move around the screen, and use SPACE bar to shoot a projectile. I used the clone blocks to create a new projectile at whatever point the ship sprite is located at the moment SPACE is pressed. Look inside for more information. How can you make this better?
This is a remix from an earlier project I did with my students. I have added more sprites into the mix and developed this into a game, rather than just a sample of movement and emitting projectiles. Game portion is a work in progress. Could add lives, change enemy sprites, make it faster as it progresses further into the game, and more.
