Create a wilderness scene for a nature rover to explore.

Rovers are robots. They can be used to carry out science experiments in remote places, like Mars! They examine their surroundings and they can be directed to interesting features and take samples. If they are solar powered, they can place themselves in a sunny position to recharge their batteries.

You will:

• Move sprites using perspective to give the appearance of distance
• Organise costume changes with my blocks
• Create a realistic scene using scrolling

Scrolling is when graphics (or objects in your scene) move left, right, up, or down on a computer screen. Scrolling makes scenes look more realistic.

Play ▶️

What happens when you click the buttons to move the rover? How would you describe how the background/sprites scroll (move around)?

Try and collect a sample by moving the rover until it is touching the fruit or the soil, and then clicking the rover.
