2.06 Missing the bus

What if the Scratch Cat did not run fast enough to catch the bus?

Make Scratch Cat miss the bus

Select the Scratch Cat sprite and add a wait block:

Test: Click on the green flag. The Scratch Cat will walk too slowly and miss the bus!

Make Scratch Cat catch the Bus

You will want delays of less than one second. 0.5 is half a second, 0.25 is a quarter of a second, and 0.1 is a tenth of a second.

Change the delay in the wait block:

Test: Click on the green flag, and the Scratch Cat will walk faster. Choose the delay that you like the most.

Choose if Scratch Cat catches or misses the bus

If you want the Scratch Cat to miss the bus, remove the hide block from your code so that the Scratch Cat stays on the Stage:

If you want the Scratch Cat to catch the bus, make the bus wait longer before it leaves:

You will need to put the hide block back in the Scratch Cat sprite’s code if you have removed it and want the Scratch Cat to successfully catch the bus.

Make changes until you get the animation to work the way that you want it to.

When working on a project, you often go back and change or improve your code as you get new ideas.
