Learning Computer Programming: Pacman Game!

Today is the last day that we will be working on SCRATCH so make it count! You will be creating your very own Pacman game. You will learn how to:

• design a maze background
• get "prizes" to disappear
• score with prizes
• get the prize to repeat again

Follow along with Ms. Hernandez as she goes through the following presentation:

*from Using Scratch for programming and control



The handout you receive today will give you instructions on how to begin creating your game. Use the Packman planning sheet to help you design your game!


If you have a Scratch account and would like to share your game on the blog so that others can play it, write a comment for this post and paste the your Scratch name in the comment.

Learning Computer Programming: Exploring and Connecting on the Scratch Website

Next week, you will create your own Pacman game and in the future you will be creating your very own games on Scratch. Kids your age all over the world are using Scratch to create games or even animated movies and share their projects on the Scratch website. For today you will explore the Scratch website to get ideas for games you would like to create. Take a look at the Featured Projects and to get inspired.

If you are ambitious, you could even download these projects and see the scripts that their authors used. In order to download projects, you must have a Scratch account. First, read the Terms of Use and then Sign Up for a free Scratch account.
