Scratch is an up-and-coming introductory programming language. Developed
by students at MIT, Scratch allows users to create web animations, games,
and interactive stories, all without a single line of code. Originally
intended for kids ages 8ΓÇô16, Scratch's web-based platform is ideal for
educators who want to incorporate programming in the classroom, and adult
students who want to learn a visual language before progressing to code.
Todd Perkins, author of Programming for Non-Programmers, shows how to use
Scratch to create simple web projects and teach yourself basic programming
concepts along the way. He starts with demonstrating how to create your
first project and gather the artwork (aka sprites) and other assets you'll
need to build it. Todd then reviews the prebuilt scripts, the bits of code
that control the logic of your Scratch projects, and explains how to use
the different script types for different functions, such as animating
sprites, responding to events such as button clicks, and comparing values.
In chapter 3, he covers costumes, and in chapter 4, he shows how to load
and play sounds. Finally, he shows how to put it all together into a
complete web game, which you can then share with the Scratch community.
Topics include:
* What is Scratch?
* Creating your first project
* Choosing a backdrop for your application
* Creating sprites (reusable graphics) in Scratch
* Working with scripts: animating objects, responding to events, and
checking logic
* Switching sprite costumes
* Changing the appearance of sprites with custom-drawn costumes
* Playing sounds
* Building a game with Scratch
