Asteroids in Scratch
For a couple days, I have been working on another Scratch project. It is a game based on the old Atari game Asteroids. For anyone who is not familiar with this game, you control a spaceship and attempt to shoot asteroids moving across the screen before they collide into you, killing you. There are also alien spaceships that shoot lasers at you. I decided to try to recreate this game just for a challenge, not because of an assignment. I have not finished it yet, but I have accomplished a few things. The spaceship can rotate, move, and shoot one laser at a time. I'm trying to make the program so the ship can shoot 2 or more lasers, but it is more challenging than I thought it would be. Thanks for reading, more later!

Interesting exercise in recreating an existing game! I love reading what you write: your vocabulary and ideas are well expressed; your sentences so complex. I think you are a fine writer.
ReplyDeleteMax - I am soooooooooooo proud of you.
ReplyDeleteCan you recreate "Track and Field" next? That was my favorite video game in olden times http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWZvrQ84AS4
ReplyDeleteI am very familiar with Asteroids, having wasted many hours of my youth plugging quarters into machines just to blast apart graphical representations of space boulders. I agree with Sam -- Track and Field was awesome. Nice work, young Max.
