Scratch Game Design 2 para principiantes: juego de plataformas

****This class is designed for BEGINNER level Scratch coders.****
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS IF YOU HAVE TAKEN SEMESTER 2. This lesson is covered in my Semester 2 class and your child will be repeating if they have already completed semester 2 with me.

My style of teaching is very patient, interactive, and engaging. Each student will be able to share and express themselves as they feel comfortable. Each lesson will leave them excited to create projects using the coding knowledge they acquired in class. 

This is a ‘Beginners’ game. It is usually the second game I teach in my Game Design with Scratch class, right after the Racing Game Course (https://outschool.com/classes/scratch-for-beginners-level-1-racing-game-MMoFwIcA#usPFVfH0j3). I’ve also taught this game to complete beginners several times, and that worked out just fine!  Having said that, we do cover quite a bit in this course!  Please see below for a list of Scratch skills covered:

-Animating sprites
-Creating the smooth movement of a sprite
-Looping
-The address (or ‘x’ and ‘y’ values) of a sprite on the stage
-Coordinating the actions of multiple sprites using the ‘broadcast’ and ‘when I receive’ blocks
-Creating sensors using the ‘touching’ and ‘touching color’ blocks
-Conditional statements

Lesson 1: 
-Get the Starter Project. Upload the starter project to your Scratch account.
-Get Pico Jumping (and Falling!) 
-Get Pico Moving!
Animate Pico!
-Make sure Pico is wearing his ‘standing’ costume when he stops walking.
-Point Pico in the left direction when he’s moving to the left, and in the right direction when he’s moving to the right.
-Point Pico to the right when a new game is started.
-Make sure Pico’s wearing his ‘jumping’ costume when he’s jumping.

Lesson 2: 
-Get the Key!
-Check if Pico is touching the key, and if he is, play a sound and send a message to the other sprites letting them know Pico’s got the key!
-Show the ‘You Win!!!’ message 
-Add Fire and a Moving Platform!
-Show the ‘You Lose!!!’ message 
-Turn the middle platform into a moving platform!
