For the STEM video game challenge, we’re using Scratch to make our games.
One of the things you usually need in a video game is the ability to change what the background looks like. First, you’ll need to create the backgrounds in Scratch:
I’ve created two backgrounds using the built-in paint editor. They’re very intricate backgrounds named “background1” and “background2”. You can name yours differently, just remember what you called them.
These scripts:
- Reset the background to background1 at the start.
- Broadcast either a Go to 1 or Go to 2, depending on what key is pressed.
- The script checks what’s broadcast and changes the level’s appearance.
