Re: games

One way to start would be to look at what has already been done.  Try typing "Space Invaders" in the search box (not the Forums Search box, but the Scratch search box) and seeing what comes up. 

Or, you can just go your own way...identify what you need to learn (shooting, moving, destroying targets, etc.) and start building something  smile

make a list of thins you want to do and build on that frame work, if you already know how, then just get down to do it!

Well, I think the easiet things to do is to create a cat sprite and a dog sprite. then click on the cat in the sprite box (where your sprites and their names appear) and put the folllowing code into the script box.

[blocks]<when green flag clicked><forever><point towards( <move(  )steps><end>[/blocks]
in the move_steps text box type 1 and then click on the drop-down menu and select mouse-pointer
that should be enough

HAPPY PROGRAMMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
