Hungry Harper Scratch Game!

Hungry Harper Final Game

For my scratch game I programmed a simple catch game using the tutorial catch game video by scratch. Once I was able to get a simple game working I made it my own by adding a score, my own artwork, costume changes, background changes, sounds, and more. My ‘Hungry Harper!’ game works so that when you press the green flag the game begins and programmed sprites, the donut, pizza, chicken, and burger, will start to fall from the sky as they flip costumes on their way to the sprite Harper. Harper is the catcher sprite at the bottom who moves back and fourth with right/left arrow keys. Each time one of the forever falling food sprites is caught by the player moving the Harper sprite, Harper will randomly change her costume to holding her belly as well as one point being added to the score. There are other subtle effects such as the background that changes color ever few seconds, the upbeat background music, the munching noise Harper makes when catching the food, and other little programming. I had a few hiccups getting some things to work such as Harper not always changing costumes when touched by a sprite, but overall I had a lot of fun making this game. Even though it was a little more work to add my own images I feel like it was worth it and would now prefer to use my own work/pictures after this experience as opposed to the preprogrammed images.
