Programming your first video game in Scratch

Lesson 3: How to make your first video game in Scratch

In this second lesson, we will explain how to plan your computer program.  Planning how a program will work is a very important skill that you will need to practice to become better at making bigger, more complex programs.   We will show you step by step how to make your first video game in this lesson.  Remember, the only way to learn programming is by doing.  We encourage you to try to make the Fruit Chase game by yourself, with friends, or with a parent.

If you have any questions about any of the video lessons, or need any help, please submit your questions in the form at the bottom of this page. We will posts answers to your questions below the form. We want you to succeed, and we are here to help you learn to program in Scratch.

Bonus Lesson: we have a surprise bonus lesson where we challenge you to make your own version of the video game. We show you how to post it to a special Scratch Studio board that was setup just for students of this course.
