Learn Scratch Lesson 10

This document discusses the design of a Mini Mario game that will be developed over several lessons. It provides templates to define key design elements like game sprites, their interactions, backgrounds and scoring/levels. The templates are then filled out with details for the Mini Mario game, including the different sprite names and graphics, how they will interact, the various background levels, and how scoring and level advancement will work. The summary provides an overview of the game design process before development begins in the next lesson.

Scratch Programming Lesson 10

Game Programming Part 1 – Game Design

In lesson 7, we took a look at an existing sample game, The Pong Game, and we also
had made changes to this game to make it more interesting. In lesson 10 through 14,
I will cover what you need to learn to make a mini Super Mario game.

We will cover the following:


Designing a Game (Lesson 10)
Creating Game sprites (Lesson 11)
Adding Game Rules to Game Sprite (Lesson 12)
Changing Background when Mario Moves (Lesson 13)
Managing Score and Levels (Lesson 14)

After following these classes, you should feel very comfortable creating your own
game. Let’s start!

Here is a basic table that we need to fill in:


Game Name Mini Mario
Sprites List of sprites: name, costumes, sounds,
movements
Sprite Interaction How sprites interact in this game
Backgrounds The list of background doodles here
Scores and Levels The score counter rule and level
advancement rule here

BACKGROUNDS Name Look

SCORE AND LEVELS How How many points

LEVELS Level Requirement Starting Ending

Whew!! We are done for the design stage. This may seem a lot of work but it’s
always a good idea to lay out the design in as much detail as possible for your
masterpiece, whether it is an animation or a game. Once you take the time to design
your game, the building part should be straight forward.

In Lesson 11, we will work together to create the sprites for our Mini Mario game.
