Game Programming

Scratch

We learned to use Scratch, a 2D game programming application that lets you create charaters and have them move around the screen and interact. You control them using keys that you program to go right or left (changing the x-values) or up and down (changing the y-values).

The first mission we were given was to create the game Pong in scratch. We had to control the rackets using letter or arrow keys. Here's a screenshot of my Pong game:

The ball has to move around and bounce off the walls and the rectangles. It took a lot of code just to make the ball do what I wanted it to do.
