Programmers can either:

Hand code the programsUse a Graphical Interface or an

integrated development environment (IDE)

Introduction to Programming with Scratch ©Darren Cank & Patrick McGee

The Scratch IDE

The Scratch IDE uses visual blocks to construct the code

The Scratch IDE

The Scratch IDE has different work areas to help programmers organise their programs

The Scratch IDE

The hello World Program

First steps into programming we learn how to create a simple hello world program

So to recap what we have learnt that:

Programmers have choices About the Scratch interface

And we have created a

hello world program

Building a Game using Scratch

In this next section we are going to create a game from scratch.

Bat and Ball

Can we Extend or modify the program

We now what to add additional features to our game.

Spend about 7 mins to see if you can add to the game.• Maybe you want to change the colours• Increase the angle of the rebound

Showcase your work

Summary

Introduced the Scratch IDE and developed an understanding of the interface and tools.• Created a simple hello world program• Replicated the bat and ball game • Modify the bat and ball game to extend

its capabilities
