My first playable game: two of us, one week, and everything to build from scratch.

The project

A coursework project built by two of us in a week, entirely in Scratch. My first chance to take an idea all the way to a running game — and, with no larger team to hand, to wear every hat at once.

What I did

  • The game logic, in Scratch blocks

  • The character, drawn in Krita

  • The drawing of the first level

What I took from it

The game runs well and the loop works. The hard part was the code: building clean logic out of Scratch blocks means working around the limits of the tool at every turn.
