Learn how to code in Scratch with one easy lesson at a time
Hello amazing people. This is Ammal with my little sister Soofia. On our website, we will be teaching you easy and cool coding projects using Scratch. We started working on Scratch Junior when we were really young and now use grown-up Scratch to makes simple games and funny animations.
It’s time to Scratch our heads [just your own head only!]
Hello everyone!Today we will make a virtual pet.
The pet will eat the donut when it touches it.
Here is the code for the unicorn!
Here is the code for the donut !
As in Lesson 2, Scratch has started moving and even drawed a Hexagon shape. But now scratch the cat needs a home to live in!
Using Pen to draw shapes in different colours in so cool in Scratch. And it is so easy too!
When you add Pen Down and Move Steps, the pen will draw a line. When use Pen Up, the pen is lifted. It is just like the way you put pen down on paper, move, and then lift it up!
The favourite part is where you Turn Degrees. If you Turn 90 degrees 4 times, you get a Square. If you Turn 60 degrees, 6 times, it will make a Hexagon.
To make it prettier, you can add Change Pen Colour in the Repeat. So every line is a different colour and you get a colourful Hexagon.
Hello amazing people!
We will be teaching you today our first first Scratch project, which is How to Move Objects in Scratch.
This was my first project which I did using ScratchJr iPad app when I was 4 years old.
Now I use grown-up Scratch in which moving is also very simple. So let’s get started.
We will take a Fish, a Crab and Octopus move them using 3 different ways:
Move is the simplest function to change position of an object (called Sprite in scratch).
We put 10 steps in move [under Motion] and put it within Forever function [under Control section].
We also add ‘if on edge, bounce’. If you don’t use it, the sprite will cross background boundary and you won’t be able to see it.
Rotation style is to ?
To understand Glide, think that every object on Scratch has X and Y axis [x-axis is horizontal (across), while the y-axis is vertical (up-down)].
When you start new project, you see Scratch Cat right in middle, which are [X,Y] = [0,0]. See below screenshot
So you can glide any object to any X,Y coordinates. Below code is making Fish go to [-220, 100] as starting point towards left of screen.
Then we use Glide to move to point [220,124] which is right of screen. We also define time to glide for example 9 seconds.
Similar to Glide, we can also use Change X [or Change Y] coordinates to move. It
Scratch basics: What is a Sprite?
Before we start any lessons, let’s talk about the concept of a Sprite in Scratch.
Both are super easy concepts so let;s jump to videos below:
