This is a fun Easter Egg game where you have to try and catch the falling Easter Eggs. How many can you catch?
Open the Scratch website, create a new project and delete the cat sprite.
Go to the Scratch website using the link below and click on the 'Create' link in the blue bar at the top.
By default, each new project starts with the cat sprite already added. To delete the cat click on the x in the blue circle beside the cat in the sprite list.
Choose a backdrop from the backdrop library and add it to your project.
To add a backdrop from the backdrop library follow these steps:
- Put your mouse over the Choose a Backdrop button
- Click on the magnifying glass
- Find the backdrop you want in the library
- Click on your chosen backdrop
You can use search box or the filter links (Fantasy, Music, Sports etc) to locate your backdrop.
In the game we will move a bowl left and right at the bottom of the stage to try and catch falling Easter Eggs.
Add the Bowl sprite from the sprite library and give it the following code.
when green flag clicked
go to x (0) y (-140) // place it at the middle bottom
forever
if < key (left arrow v) pressed? > then
change x by (-10) // move left
end
if < key (right arrow v) pressed? > then
change x by (10) // move right
end
end
