Description
Coding with Scratch - Create Fantastic Driving Games will take you from Scratch basics through to creating your own fantastic driving games in easy steps. Each game comes with challenges to take you to the next level of coding. Even includes mods to make your games more exciting. Have fun and amaze your friends and family! You'll learn how to:
Use code to make a series of driving games including parking, racing, scrolling and two-player games.
Design your own game levels, cars and tracks.
Use variables to keep the score and to store the speed in your games.
Add sounds and create your own code blocks and functions.
To create the games in this book, children will need a desktop computer or a laptop. The games require a proper keyboard so will not work well on a tablet or iPad. It is recommended that children should be supervised when using the internet, especially when using a new website.
