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 the 
classic game of pong, where the goal is to 
keep the sprite from getting past you.

q?Create two sprites: a paddle for the user to control 
and a ball the user will be playing with.
q?Make your paddle sprite interactive.
q?Bring your game to life!
These control the ball - if touching the paddle or a wall, it continues moving. If 
touching red (meaning the ball moved past the paddle) the game ends.	
q?How do you add dif?culty to your game? 
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!
