That Blue Square Thing

Year 7 Computing – Programming with Scratch

Did you ever play "Pong"?

It's a classic. The first game I played (and I'm really old...).

Start by downloading the game:

The Pong game – you will need to right click and save as to save the game to your computer.

Make sure you move the game into your OneDrive.

Now you need to open Scratch, load the game, and then try it out.

> Scratch website (opens in a new tab)

But there's a problem. The game doesn't work properly...

So, the first task is to solve the problem and get pong working.

Now we can add stuff to Pong to make it a better game.

Adding stuff means scores, screens and maybe sounds. There are guides on these:

Adding backdrops – game over and welcome screens

Adding sound – needs headphones
