The Ashes

Play as England in this Ashes Game where you can both bat and bowl. The fielders are computer controlled. When batting move the bat with the up and down keys. If you hit the ball aim by pressing space. Aim your power with space. The longer you hold space when aiming power the higher you will hit the ball (good for sixes but you may be caught out). To run press left or right after hitting the ball. When you are bowling press space to aim and again for distance (you dont need to hold it down). The bats at the top show the remaining wickets and the ball beneath shows whether the bowler is a fast bowler or a spinner. When bowling as a spinner try to aim high or low and long. This might hit the wickets behind the batter. When bowling as a fast bowler if you bowl long they are likely to hit down. If you bowl short they are likely to bowl high meaning they can be caught out but they may get a six or a four. Have Fun

Formula 1 Pit Stop Game

You are in charge of the Brawn Team (white) Choose how much fuel you want by clicking 'fuel' or holding space. select tyres by clicking 1 of the 3 tyre icons (dry to wet). Then press go to strat the 50 lap race. The 'screen' near the top shows how efficient you are (the higher the white line the better) The graph shows how fast your laps are (higher is quicker) When you want to pit click the pit button. It will pit next lap. you can then change tyres and put more fuel in before pressing go. The top square on the left shows the weather forcast. The square below shows track condition. try to have the right tyres depending on tack condition. the three circles at the bottom show your position from last on the left to first on the right. goodluck.

Wimbledon

You control the player at the bottom. Use the arrow keys to move. You do not control the racket. When the ball hits your racket, press space once to select the angle and again to choose power. Other than serves normal tennis rules apply. Only one bounce allowed. Do not hit in the tram lines. Dont hit it in the net or too far back. It is first to 10. If you win you go against the next player. If not you can try again. There are 4 opponents who each get better. I have a feeling they may be too tricky so dont worry if you struggle. Have fun (The tricky parts of this project were making the bouncing work, do you like the shadow?, and making the computer decide for you how high to hit the ball)

3d experiment

just an experiment. getting things to be behind objects closer and in front of those further away was the trickiest part. feel free to develope it. arrow keys to move. mouse to aim. space to fire. remix it with your own sprite costumes if you want.

scroll race

arrow keys to drive.

Sailing Simulation

I have just modified this to make the controls different. Navigate two laps around the course using the arrows keys. Left and Right to steer, Up and down to let the sail out or pull it in.

draw to text

This is an attempt at making a drw to text program. Draw (lowercase) letters in the blue box and watch them turn into letters. To backspace draw a horizontal line across the box. To make a space draw a horizontal line near the bottom of the box. It may not get the letter right everytime but it works quite well. If your interested download it to see how it works. It was made in version 1.2 so eeveryone should be able to download it.

learning car demo

This is a demonstration of a car 'learning' it's way around a track. Start it with the green flag. The red and yellow sensors detect a crash and this affect how it tackles that part of the course next time it tries it. It takes a few minutes to learn the whole track but please watch it learn at least part of it. NEW IMPROVEMENT It works faster by not repeating as much and also shows the lap afterwards without any sensors as proof that it has learn the track.

3D Space Flyer

Fly your space ship through a '3D' space. Try to fly through the Blue Energy Ball to gain time. The Blue arrow will show you where it is. Use the left and right arrows to twist. Use up and down to dive or rise up. Use A to accelerate and Z to slow down. Your speed and remaining time are shown at the bottom of the screen. Love its would be very much appreciated

3D Stunt Flyer

Fly your light aircraft through a series of loops to try and complete the course. A and Z, speed up/slow down Up, dive down Down, fly upwards Left Right, turn left/right. The is a timer in the corner but you get penalties for misiing or hitting the gates. This is a tricky game. Until you get used to the controls fly slowly. Goodluck. (The water was taken from S65's aircraft game) For best results download it and run in fullscreen. dont forget to give a 'love it' if you do.

Quidditch World Cup

Play as Bulgaria in the Quidditch World Cup. Compete against teams from across the world for the Ultimate Prize. Use the arrow keys to fly and space to throw. You need 150points to win each round. Scoring gets you 10points and the snitch gets you 100. Goodluck If you love this game don't forget to click the 'love it' button! it works best when downloaded.

2 Player Quidditch

Player 1 uses the WASD keys and Q to throw the ball. Player 2 uses the arrow keys and down to throw. Try to score through the opposite goal for 10 points. You can tackle your opponent by flying through them. Everynow and again you may see the snitch. Catch it for 100points, (it doesnt end game.) Watch out for the bludgers which will go for you if you go too close. If you enjoy it dont forget to click 'i love it'

minesweeper

My attempt at making minesweeper with scratch. Select the number of mines you want to have on the slider and then click the green flag. Click on squares to reveal how many mines are next to that sqaure. Try to flag the mines by holding space and clicking. You have limited flags. Only click on a square when it tells you it is 'ready'. Goodluck and Have Fun

Block Buster

This was made just to see if I could manage it but it turned out to be one of the hardest projects I have done. Click on one of the coloured blocks at the side for it to slide along. (it will only slide if there is one in its row) Try to get groups of 3 or more of a colour next to each other. If you are stuck use space to shuffle (it will cost 10 points) It can take some time to see if any need removing so please wait until it says ready.

Naval Warfare

i made this more as an experiment than as a complete game just to see if i could create a splitscreen scrolling background system. It is a 2 player game where you both control a ship. controls player1 w,a,d to move, 1 to shoot. player2 arrow keys to move, L to shoot. the arrows aound your screen point towards the other ship incase you get lost. have fun.
