Coding with Scratch – Create Fantastic Driving Games is a must for all fans of driving games, cars and anyone who wants to improve their coding. It shows how to:

 

  • Use code to make a series of driving games including parking, racing, scrolling and two player games.
  • Discover new coding techniques and how to design your own game levels.
  • Create your own cars and tracks.
  • Use variables to keep the score and to store the speed in your games.
  • Add sounds and create your own code blocks and functions.

 

Suitable for beginners but with lots of tips, challenges, and extensions for experienced Scratch coders.

 

To create the games in this book, children will need a desktop computer or a laptop. The games require a proper keyboard so will not work well on a tablet or iPad. It is recommended that children should be supervised when using the internet, especially when using a new website.
