Leave a reply

Once you have completed all of your Scratch mini-lessons, you can begin working on your final project.

Remember, the game plan you write before you start must include:

  • Type of game
  • Characters
  • Types of interaction (how do you move characters, how do the characters interact with their environment and each other)
  • Storyline
  • Levels of difficulty (does not need to be distinct ‘levels’, but rather increasing modes of difficulty- speed, size of implement, etc.)
  • Attractive Graphics – what will it look like?

Once finished, you must find a classmate to ‘test’ your game. Download the accompanying game testing assignment form.
