SCRATCH: PONG SCRATCH: PONG OBJECTIVE OBJECTIVE Students will be able to understand the programming elements of game design and create their own game How can you use scratch to build an interactive game? In this project, you will create a game. This game includes interactions between sprites, score, and levels. The game is similar to the classic game of pong, where the goal is to keep the sprite from getting past you. Click this link to try Pong
