Check out these projects we made in our last workshop, taught by one of our teen experts, Matthew!

These games introduce basics such as:

• Background images for your projects.
• How to make sprites which are any characters or objects you use in a project.
• How to perform an action when certain keyboard keys are pressed.
• A simple counter to act as a control such as lives remaining.
• How to create a simple game over.

Here's an excellent resource Matthew recommended, that has cool sprites for use in your projects called the Spriter's Resource.

To learn how to do other cool stuff, check out the tutorials page in the Scratch forums.
