What you will be learning

In this lesson you will be creating a game in Scratch. This game will have step by step instructions to assist you and help you build your game.

Animation

An animation is when we make an image (such as our character) look as though it is moving.
With Scratch, we can do this with the move blocks or we can change the sprite's costume.

Decision making

Computers are very logical machines that make decisions based on certain events or values that are provided.
In computer science, this is normally done with what is called an if statement.

Variables

A variable is a small container that represents something that a computer must remember.
Variables have names and have values.
Variables are also used in maths when you use equations.
In Scratch, variables can be used to store our points.

Work through Lesson 5.

Extension: Attempt the Block Breaker game.

Task

Presentation Overview
