Here's a picture to show you the different directions in 'degrees':

But when facing Up, our Chicken is at 270 degrees. For instance, when facing to the Right our Chicken is at 0 degrees. In video games, we use 'degrees' to know which way our player character is facing. > Click on Scratch Blocks and drag the 'point in direction 90' block into the 'When up arrow pressed' block.

> Click on 'backspace/delete' and change it to 'up arrow'. > Click on Events and drag 'When backspace/delete pressed' into the work space. > Right-click on the Chicken and select Edit Script.

> Click on Level 2 in the levels tab to switch to Level 2. Note: If you are still in the code editor, click the X button in the top right corner to return to the level editor by saving your code. At Codeclub we learn a language called Python that lets us code apps, but you can make an app with little coding experience.In Level 2 our Chicken needs to move up and right, so we'll have to code in our Up arrow key and make sure our Chicken knows how to face in the Up direction. There are lots of tools out there to help you make your own app for phones and computers. This website will teach you about coding and debugging – Make Your Own App Why not try changing the code to change the game? You could increase the time on each level? You could add another costume to each sprite so they still have my code but they look different – how about a balloon instead of a fox? Could you work out how to add another level, with new sprites? What about adding a Big Boss level? It looks pretty complicated because I built it up a layer at a time, like making a house out of Lego. If you click on the SEE INSIDE button you can see all my code. The link below takes you to one of my games, which you may like to play. We have been making our own computer games in Code Club. I like this project where someone has coded the crossy road game in scratch: Crossroads Why don’t you find one you like and have a look? Do the instructions make sense? If you were the computer would you know what to do? Lots of people create animations and games and put them up on the SCRATCH website and the best thing is that you can see what code they have used by clicking the SEE INSIDE button.
