Arrow Keys & if 🐠

Games let you control a character. Let's swim a fish around the ocean!

Move with arrow keys

when [right arrow v] key pressed
point in direction (90)
move (10) steps

when [left arrow v] key pressed
point in direction (-90)
move (10) steps

Make it smart with if

An if block asks a question. If the answer is yes, it runs the blocks inside.

when flag clicked
forever
  if <touching (Jellyfish v)?> then
    say [Ouch! A jellyfish!] for (1) seconds
  end
end

💡

🧠 The pointy blocks like touching? are questions. They fit in the pointy hole of if.

🛠️ Build it!

1. Pick the Fish sprite, a Jellyfish sprite and an underwater backdrop. 🌊
2. Give the fish both arrow-key scripts.
3. Give the fish the if touching script.
4. Click the 🟢 flag and swim into the jellyfish!

⭐ Bonus: add up arrow and down arrow scripts too (use point in direction (0) for up and (180) for down).

🌊 Fun fact

Coral reefs are home to about 1 in 4 of all kinds of ocean fish, even though they cover a tiny part of the sea!
