If you’re new to Scratch and looking for a fun way to learn core programming concepts, this simple game project is a great place to start! In “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly Trexes,” you’ll guide a cat sprite through a lively forest, dodging dangerous dinosaurs while trying to gain extra lives from a friendly one.

Here’s what the game involves:

  • 🟢 The Good T-Rex (Green): Touch it to gain a life.
  • 🔴 The Ugly T-Rex (Red) & ⚫ The Bad T-Rex (Gray): Avoid them! They cost you lives.

The tutorial walks you through:

  • Creating and duplicating sprites
  • Color-coding enemies and friends
  • Using arrow keys to move the cat sprite
  • Coding interactions using a “lives” variable
  • Making enemies move randomly and bounce off edges
  • Adding a timer to measure survival time
  • Triggering a “Game Over” message when lives hit zero
  • Designing the game with a forest background for visual appeal

This project is a hands-on way to introduce learners to variables, control structures, and event handling in Scratch. Plus, you’ll be encouraged to get creative—add sounds, design new levels, or even animate the sprites!
