    1 - Welcome to the Easter Egg Catch Game

    Welcome, young coders! Today, we're going to create a fun game called 'Easter Egg Catch'. In this game, you'll be catching falling Easter eggs with a bowl. Sounds exciting, right? Let's get started and see how many eggs you can catch!


    2 - Create a new Scratch project

    Open the Scratch website, create a new project and delete the cat sprite.

    3 - Add a backdrop

    Choose a backdrop from the backdrop library and add it to your project.


    4 - Add the Bowl sprite

    In the game we will move a bowl left and right at the bottom of the stage to try and catch falling Easter Eggs.

    Add the Bowl sprite from the sprite library and give it the following code.

    when green flag clicked go to x (0) y (-140) // place it at the middle bottom forever if < key (left arrow v) pressed? > then change x by (-10) // move left end if < key (right arrow v) pressed? > then change x by (10) // move right end end

    Click on the green flag and you should be able to move the bowl left and right using the arrow keys on your keyboard.


    5 - Add the Easter Egg sprite

    Included with this step is an Easter Egg sprite called 'easter-egg.sprite3'. Download the sprite to your computer and then upload it into your project as a new sprite.
