How To Make A Game On Scratch
Scratch is a popular visual programming language that is used to create interactive stories, games, and animations. It is a great way for beginners to learn about programming in a fun and engaging way. In this article, we will teach you how to make a game on Scratch in Indonesia. Whether you are a student or an adult, with or without coding experience, you can make a game on Scratch. Just follow these step-by-step instructions.
Step 1: Create a Scratch Account
The first step is to create a Scratch account. Visit the Scratch website (scratch.mit.edu) and click on “Join Scratch” at the top right corner of the page. Follow the prompts to create an account. Once you have created an account, log in to the Scratch editor.
Step 2: Choose a Game Idea
Before you start creating a game, you need to have an idea for it. Think about the type of game you want to create. Is it a shooting game, a puzzle game, or a racing game? Once you have an idea, create a storyboard for your game. This will help you plan out the various levels and characters in your game.
Step 3: Create the Background
The next step is to create the background for your game. Click on “Choose a Backdrop” in the bottom right corner of the Scratch editor. You can choose from a variety of backdrops, or you can upload your own image. Once you have chosen a backdrop, click on “OK”.
Step 4: Add Characters
Now it’s time to add characters to your game. Click on “Choose a Sprite” in the bottom right corner of the Scratch editor. You can choose from a variety of sprites, or you can create your own. Once you have chosen a sprite, it will appear on the stage. You can move the sprite around the stage by dragging it with your mouse.
Step 5: Add Movements and Interactions
Now it’s time to add movements and interactions to your characters. Click on the sprite you want to add movements and interactions to. Then, click on “Scripts” at the top of the Scratch editor. You can drag and drop different blocks to create movement and interactions for your sprite. For example, you can create a block that makes your sprite move left when you press the left arrow key on your keyboard.
Step 6: Create Levels
Once you have created movements and interactions for your characters, it’s time to create levels for your game. Click on “Backdrop” at the top of the Scratch editor. Then, click on “New Backdrop”. You can create multiple backdrops for your game to create different levels. Once you have created a backdrop, you can add different sprites to it and create movements and interactions for those sprites.
Step 7: Add Sound Effects and Music
To make your game more engaging, you can add sound effects and music to it. Click on “Sounds” at the top of the Scratch editor. You can upload different sound effects and music to your game. Once you have added sound effects and music, you can use different blocks to play them during your game.
Step 8: Test Your Game
Once you have created your game, it’s time to test it. Click on the green flag at the top of the Scratch editor to start your game. Play through different levels of your game to make sure everything is working as expected. If you find any issues, go back and make changes to your game.
Step 9: Share Your Game
Finally, it’s time to share your game with others. Click on “Share” at the top of the Scratch editor. You can share your game on the Scratch website or embed it on your own website. You can also share your game with your friends and family through social media or email.
Now that you know how to make a game on Scratch, you can start creating your own games. Remember to have fun and be creative. With Scratch, the possibilities are endless.
