[Activity 3] Create a project connected to your interests

My project was named Scratch Race. Just like it’s name, player must control Scratch character to reach finish line & avoid the boundaries. If player hit boundaries, player will reset to initial position. My motivation to created this project because I’m so excited with MotoGP, WSBK, F1, & another sport race type. Moment of joy when created this project was when I designed circuit track. Because I used my imagination & reference from Catalunya Circuit in Spain. I persist in face of challenges because I want to share my project & idea with others. If you wanna play my game, you can click link below.

I’m trying to make a game from an existing template with a little improv:

I did a project about division because I really like to study and teach Math. I am a kind of frustration cause this subject can be really abstract to children and I don’t believe I can express the operation so clearly. What can help me to persist is to know that I can help someone to understand Math with this project.

Criei esse jogo para meu sobrinho Mateus.
Mateus é uma criança super doce, animada e positiva. Ele ama qualquer coisa que tenha tecnologia, então quando falei pra ele que sabia criar joguinhos ele ficou doido. Amo ele de paixão e sempre que estou desanimado ele consegue me animar.

I made a Candy Pong game using Scratch.

I wanted to keep using the theme of candy from last week’s project, but I struggled to come up with an original idea for the game. So I looked at the Pong Starter on the Scratch website for inspiration.

I remembered Mitch Resnick’s story about Leo and how excited he got when he discovered variables—so I decided to use variables too. I added a score variable to my Candy Pong game. When the score reaches a certain number, more candy sprites appear and the difficulty increases.

One challenge I faced was figuring out how to make the new candy sprites start moving once the score increased. I tried many different coding approaches, thinking that if I could get it to work, the game would become much more fun. In the end, I managed to make it happen and I’m happy with the result.

However, there’s still a small problem: sometimes the paddle doesn’t register contact with the candy. I think it might be due to the shape of the paddle, and I haven’t solved that yet.

Love the design and feel of this game too @miyako :candy:
looks and feels so beautiful <3 :lollipop:

as paddle is fairly low on screen, was wondering if maybe when the candy rotates it might sometimes still hit bottom edge even when successfully caught, so maybe that could be part of issue you’re seeing sometimes ?
i’m not totally sure, but could maybe be one quick experiment, if that helps you any there <3 :hugs:

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback @JayElf !
I tried adjusting it right away, and now the candy no longer touches the bottom line—so it looks like the problem is solved :candy:
Thanks again for the helpful suggestion!
