SCROLLING
HOW CAN YOU USE SCRATCH TO BUILD 
AN INTERACTIVE GAME?
In this project, you will create a game. This 
game includes interactions between sprites, 
score, and levels. The game is similar to 
Flappy Bird, where the goal is to keep an 
object from falling to the ground or touching 
certain objects.

q?Create two sprites: one for the player to control 
(helicopter) and one to avoid (gliding bars).

Creating different levels, using a timer, or 
keeping score are a few examples of things you 
could do.
q?Experiment with changing the look of your game 
by editing the backdrops!
q?Explore using different key presses to control 
your sprites!
