So today I made my own scratch animation after becoming a lot more familiar with the programme. It did take a while as I used two sprites- the ghost and the dove - and they had to have separate coding and instructions but I had to make sure they still worked together.
I couldn't embed my game on to this blog for some reason, which was particularly frustrating, so this is a screenshot of my game and the link below will take you to the Scratch Website where my game can actually be played.
The player is the ghost and the aim of the game is to catch the dove. By clicks the green flag the game begins and the dove begins to move.
In order to move and control the ghost in an attempt to catch the dove, the player needs to use the four arrow buttons on the keyboard to navigate themselves.
I added some message animations in which in the ghost says 'Hello' when he gets so close to the dove, and also sound animations which I coded to get louder and louder and the dove got closer to the front of the screen. I also adjusted the size of the dove to make it look like it was coming closer and closer.
I feel that through increasing the size of the dove along with increasing the volume on the noise made by the dove it looked quite effective. However, I don't feel I did such a good with the ghost and if I had more time I would have worked on the ghost sprite a lot more.
Overall, I really did enjoy making this scratch animation, so much so that I came home and showed my mother, who is an Assistant Deputy Headteacher in a local primary, what I had created because I was proud of it and didn't know I was capable of creating such things.
