My first electronic game

In technology, we made a game using the program scratch. It was similar to the game pong which involved a ball and a paddle you moved with your mouse. It is a simple game and we went to a website that gave us tutorials on how to do it. In the game we created, if you fall in a red area on the game then the game is over. To help prevent that from happening, you have to move the paddle with your mouse when the ball come and try to block it from that red area.
The tutorials helped me understand how to create a game like pong and gave me a script. These tutorials were very easy to understand and I didn’t have a problem with it. They helped me make my game good and a bit challenging. It also helped me understand what each type of script does, which helped me with level two, when I made a variable in my game which was a score. That made my game more like the game pong. I think I did a pretty good job with my game because it was easy for me to create my games and add the score variable without anyone telling me to.
I made level one by looking at the script the guy made in the tutorial. He explained the scripts he made which helped me understand why he did those things. However, I changed the color of my ball and paddle to make it look different, and have sort of my personality in it, rather than just imitating everything he did in the tutorial.

In level two, I added more things on it, like it said to do on the task I had to complete. I added a score board, so that whenever the ball hit the paddle, a point would be added. I also changed the sprite a little bit by making it so that whenever the ball hit the paddle, it changed to another color.
