Scratch-Ye-Heads !!

Programming forcing to Scratch your Heads.....

No worries we got you covered. In this event we will be learning basic programmming while developing mini-games.

What you waiting for now ?!.... Start Scratching !!!

Setting Up the Environment ( Estimated Time : 5 mins )

• Create an account on Scratch
• Verify your email
• All further tasks will be held on this platform for this contest

Basics of Scratch ( Estimated Time : 5 mins )

• Checkout the Panels Labelled : Code, Costumes and Sound
• While the Code panel is selected you can look into various differently labelled code blocks on the left : Motion , Sensing , Control etc
• Drag and Drop Blocks of code to set up your logic
• The stage where the output will be shown is already set up and the characters are implemented.
• Just think of the logic and drag-n-drop blocks and progress.

Output Format:

• Make a word file locally and save as Scratch
• Make Sure you save the project as sharable. Click on Share at the top to make the project sharable.
• Copy link of the project and save it in the word file with Task1/ Task2/ Task3 as the heading.

Task 1 : Beetles in Love ( Estimated Time : 25 mins )

A dung beetle couple in love constantly proves that you still can be in love living on shit...

Objective

• Make the purple beetle walk the highlighted path and reach the pink beetle

Project Setup:

• Open this link IN A NEW TAB and click on Remix

Hints and Clues:

• Motion,Control and Sensing is used
• See those arrows, their color plays an important role in Sensing.
• No. of steps of the beetle while moving is to be kept 1 and looped over
• Make Sure the purple beetle is selected in while coding. You can select a particular game element by clicking on the images shown on the bottom right

Task 2 : Starfish Regeneration ( Estimated Time : 35 mins )

In the vast oceanic universe starfishes are the stars in the sky of the shore...

Objective

• Make the star-fishes regenerate in the given pattern to solve this task

Project Setup:

• Open this link IN A NEW TAB and click on Remix

Hints and Clues:

• For pattern generation you can refer to the following website: Pyramid-Printing-GeeksForGeeks
• New Variables can be made by going to Variables option on the left
• Some variables are already created for you. Try creating some more variables to solve the task
• Relative Movement Positions on the X and Y are as follows:

Task 3 : Practice For FIFA World Cup ( Estimated Time : 55 mins )

NOW IS ALL: Live your dream, Realise your destiny – and Own the moment

Objective

• Help the midfield player achieve different configurations while passing.

Project Setup:

• Open this link IN A NEW TAB and click on Remix

Hints and Clues:

• List Functions can be seen in the Variables option on the left
• Apply code snippets on the ball
• Variable: config, denotes the formation in which the players pass.
• Lists: 1) X1 Y1 2) X2 Y2 3) X3 Y3 4) Config_Name
• The Lists X1 Y1 and others have to be used together as (x,y) to mark the ball's position.
• Use if else branching to make the player say the configuration name using Config_Name list.
• Use if else branching on the config variable.
