Our Presentation went really well! Everyone’s projects were great! It was handy being a duo with Rachelle for our project because it meant that we could take turns checking out other people’s projects. It also meant that we could take turns getting each other more cheese… What are friends for? We had inspirational guest speakersContinue reading “Presentation of Learning”

I created a plain backdrop for the menu. Once Rachelle had finished coding a separate “Twinkle Twinkle” game, I was able to copy the code for that into my backback and then copy it into the “Here Comes the Sun Project. See the bottom of this screenshot: I then created three sprites that would actContinue reading “Creating a Menu”

In order to have the falling sprites depict the correct rhythm I had to tell them to wait appropriate amount of seconds before the next one fell. I started out by notating the main melody that I wanted in the game. I then decided that 1 crotchet = 1 second. Here is the melody IContinue reading “I’ve Got Rhythm…”

I got it! Thanks to more help from Rowena in clearing things up. To be able to ensure a player only gets a point if the falling sprite reaches the yellow bit at the bottom I had to separate each of the sprites into one for each x-coordinate (aka each note). For example, all ofContinue reading “I figured it out!”

I’ve now added two backgrounds. One for if someone gets a high score and one for if it’s not so great… (see above). After the final note in the song, I have told it to wait 8 seconds before “broadcasting ‘game over’”. Under coding for the background I have added the following: This ensures thatContinue reading “End of Game”

I’ve been struggling quite a bit trying to perfect the coding for the score. So far, I have it resetting to zero whenever the start button is pressed. I’m really struggling with the variables in the “if” section of the coding. I don’t know what exactly to make trigger a point. I want the playerContinue reading “Creating a score in a Scratch Game”
