Course Description:
This course is designed to introduce learners to the fundamentals of game development using Scratch 3.0, a visual programming platform created by MIT. In this project, students will build a digital version of the classic Snake & Ladder board game, combining elements of game logic, turn-based mechanics, and interactive storytelling.
Through hands-on practice, learners will explore how to simulate dice rolls, animate player movement, and implement game logic such as climbing ladders and sliding down snakes. The course promotes computational thinking and creativity while helping students develop essential coding skills in a fun and engaging way.
Whether you’re new to Scratch or looking to level up your creative coding, this project provides a rewarding experience that blends traditional gameplay with modern programming tools.
What You’ll Learn:
- How to design a digital game board in Scratch
- Creating and animating sprites (player tokens, dice, ladders, and snakes)
- Using variables and conditional logic to manage turns and movement
- Simulating a dice roll with randomness
- Managing game flow, including win conditions and player switching
- Adding visual and sound effects for a polished gaming experience
- Debugging and testing interactive projects
Who Should Attend:
- Beginners interested in learning how to code using Scratch
- Students who enjoy board games and want to recreate them digitally
- Young programmers aged 8–16 looking to practice logical thinking and problem-solving
- Educators seeking interactive STEM activities for the classroom
- Anyone who wants to build fun, turn-based games with zero prior coding experience
