Scratch is the world’s largest coding community for children and a coding language with a simple visual interface that allows young people to create digital stories, games, and animations. Scratch is designed, developed, and moderated by the Scratch Foundation, a nonprofit organization.

Scratch promotes computational thinking and problem solving skills; creative teaching and learning; self-expression and collaboration; and equity in computing.

Training Week 2 - Part 2

Add Full Game Logic_ Score, Win, and Paddle _ Control.png

🧮 Step 1: Create Score Variables

Go to the Variables tab.
Click “Make a Variable” and name it Player1 Score
Click again and name another one Player2 Score

🏓 Step 2: Add Paddle Movement

For Paddle1 (left):

when green flag clicked
forever
if <key [w v] pressed> then
change y by 10
end
if <key [s v] pressed> then
change y by -10
end
end

For Paddle2 (right):

when green flag clicked
forever
if <key [up arrow v] pressed> then
change y by 10
end
if <key [down arrow v] pressed> then
change y by -10
end
end

🏐 Step 4: Ball Movement and Collision

In the Ball sprite:

when green flag clicked
set [Player1 Score v] to 0
set [Player2 Score v] to 0
go to x: 0 y: 0
point in direction (pick random 45 to 135)
forever
move 10 steps
if on edge, bounce
if <touching [Paddle1 v] ?> or <touching [Paddle2 v] ?> then
play sound [pop v] until done
point in direction (180 - direction)
end
if <x position > 230> then
change [Player1 Score v] by 1
go to x: 0 y: 0
point in direction (pick random 135 to 225)
wait 1 seconds
