    Learning Objectives
    The child will:
    Teacher Tip
    • Create a game which uses variables to calculate lives and score. If children are downloading
    images or sounds from online,
    • Use sensing to effect change in a game. be aware of copyright laws.
    Encourage children to design
    their own images.
    Introduction
    Create two sprites. Label one Good Guy and one Bad Guy

    Type the Name of


    the sprite here

    Sensing Blocks
    Sensing gives us a true or false response. We can then create scripts which do different things if
    the answer is true or false.

    • Write some code to make both sprites move around the screen.
    • Click on the Good Guy script.
    • Add the following blocks to your code.
    This block give you space to put in a condition.

    • Click on the sensing palette and select touching.


    • Using the drop down arrow select bad guy. Alternatively you could select “when
    touching colour”.


    • These scripts will give us a true or false response i.e. Good Guy is touching Bad Guy
    (True) or it is not touching (False).
    • Now we can decide what will happen when the sprites touch. You can insert sound or
    oks

    • In the example we will change how the
    sprite looks for 1 second and then return
    it to normal.
    • Changing the fisheye effect by -100 after
    changing by 100 changes the sprite back
    to its original state.
    • We used a forever loop in this script. The
    forever loop means that Good Guy will
    ALWAYS react when he touches Bad
    Guy, the script will keep running while the
    program is active.

    Challenge Time 1!
    1. Choose two sprites and name them.
    2. Add movement to each sprite.
    3. Input the code from the image above to
    one sprite.
    4. Alter the code to create your own
    effects.

    Variables
    Using the game we just created we will add lives to our Good Guy. We will start with 5 lives. Each
    time the Bad guy touches the good guy he will lose a life.
    • Click on the Good Guy sprite.
    • Click on the variables palette.
    • Click Make a variable.
    • Call it “Lives”. This will appear on the stage.
    • You will now see additional options in the
    variables palette.
    • Drag out “set lives to” and type 5 into the box.
    • Add this to the start of your script.

    Lesson 6  | 3
    • Within the “if loop” we will change the • You will note that the lives will decrease
    lives by minus one each time the Bad Guy by one each time. However, we need the
    touches the Good Guy. game to end when the Good Guy has 0 lives
    left. This will require another “if” statement,

    Challenge Time 2!
    1. Choose a sprite and name him Good Guy. If you wish to use your own names do!
    2. Use the up, down, left and right arrows to move the sprite (recall Lesson 1).
    3. Select another sprite and name him Bad Guy. Allow him to move randomly around the
    screen when the green flag is pressed. (as for sprites in examples above).
    4. Give the first sprite 5 lives.
    5. Every time Bad Guy touches Good Guy, Good Guy should lose a life.
    6. Allow your classmates to play your game. See who can keep their lives the longest!

    Ultimate Challenge!
    1. Plan a game on paper. It could be a chasing game as above, a maze or a football
    game or your own idea.
    2. Create the game, using movement, sound, sensing and lives.
    3. In the project notes (File, Project notes) write the instructions for your game.
    4. Have a look at other people’s games. Tell them what you like and suggest ideas to
    make their game even better!
