Supplies

  1. Computer
  2. Scratch website (https://Scratch.mit.edu)

Step 1: Where?

Open Scratch: Go to the Scratch website (scratch.mit.edu) and create a new project.

Step 2: Start

Create the Clicker Sprite: Add a sprite (e.g., a button or an object) that the player can click on to earn points.

Step 3: Variables

Add Variables: Create a variable to keep track of the player's score. You can name it "score" or something similar.

Step 4: Coding the Sprite

Coding the Clicker Sprite:

  • Use the "when green flag clicked" block to start the game.
  • Use the "forever" block to continuously check for clicks on the sprite.
  • Use an "if" block to detect when the sprite is clicked.
  • Inside the "if" block, increase the score variable by a certain amount (e.g., 1).

Step 5: Upgrade

  1. Display the Score: Add a text sprite to display the player's score. Use the "set" block to update the text with the current score value.
  2. Enhance the Game: You can add features like upgrades, achievements, and animations to make the game more engaging.
  3. Test and Play: Click the green flag to start the game and test your clicker game. Click on the sprite to earn points and see your score increase.
