Plan your virtual pet, character, or nature simulation. The user will have to create the right conditions to support the main sprite’s needs. Your main sprite might get bigger, gain experience, increase health, or something else.
You can plan by just thinking, tinkering, drawing or writing, or however you like!
Think about the purpose of your project.
It could be:
Think about who you will make your project for (your audience).
Knowing your audience will help you design a project they will want to play again and again.
Open a new Scratch project. Scratch will open in another browser tab.
Use your new Scratch project, a pen and paper, or both to plan your ideas.
What will your main sprite be?
Think about your main sprite and decide:
variables
might be needed?variables
change over time, for example hunger or tiredness increasing every few seconds?Give your project a title that tells the user what to expect, and makes them want to try it out.
The example projects were: Bat simulator, Make a rainbow, Watermelon farmer, and Music Machine.
You can always update the title later if you think of a better one.
