Play this game in scratch Splat Game Version 1 on Scratch (mit.edu) You will need to investigate what keys to press to avoid the balloon. Then consider: · Is it similar to any games or apps you already know? · What does the character sprite do? · What does the water balloon do?
Now watch my tutorial to begin creating your splat game. You can watch the tutorial the whole way through or pause when suggested and work alongside the video.
I have added the coding used for the game as a resource to download if you need some extra help. Tasks 1. Create a background with a rectangular wall to the left of this 2. Add a balloon sprite and turn this to the side. 3. Programme your character sprite to start in a certain position and when the balloon is not touching it for your character to say something 4. Programme the character sprite to make a noise and say something if the balloon does hit. Make sure this code is inside the forever coding. 5. Programme your balloon sprite to glide towards your character sprite and the wall
Extension: How could you make this game even better? Can you identify the code you would need for this?
