 Learning Objectives:  

To create original artwork for a game.

To design and create a computer program for a computer game, which uses sequence, selection, repetition and variables.

To detect and correct errors in your computer game.


Success Criteria:

I can investigate Scratch “8 bit” style games.                                                                                                                                                            I can log into my Scratch account.                                                                                                                                                                                  I can build algorithms to create a simple game using a template.                                                                                                                    I can detect bugs and fix them (debug).
I can change the background / and sprites to make my quiz unique

Teacher Notes:

Teacher Notes:

Ch log into their new Scratch accounts

Ask the children to think about the assets they’ll need for their games by playing some Scratch example games

Consider backgrounds, costumes, music and sound effects. Encourage them to investigate ideas

Remind the children how to use the background and sprite editor tool in Scratch.


Children to Investigate sencolewis snakes and other 8 Bit style games

 

1 Compile the code on the example: "snakes 2build"

2 Add a background

3 Change sprites - draw their own sprites and background using the editor tools. 


Compile the code within the "sencolewis snakes 2build" software


This is what it should look like when you have finished!
Change the background next then change the sprites.
