Each term at Kids Unlimited we run a range of competitions with great prizes to extend and engage our young people. Take a look below to see what is on offer this term. Remember you have to be in it to win it!
Entries are open for term 2
Competition brief:
Create a point and click adventure game focused on a mystery in scratch!
Any student of any skill level can join in the competition and has a chance to win prizes for coming 1st in their skill level.
Students will have to use their imaginations to create a point and click adventure story where characters will solve some kind of mystery by the player clicking on different things in the project to uncover the story. They could be looking for an item or they could be trying to figure out who stole an item.
The entries will be judged on:
• Originality (How original the story is, if lots of other students use the same story idea then it will be less original)
• How effective/efficient the code blocks are (if a 50 block of code can do the same thing as a 100 blocks, the 50 block code would win)
• How much the point and click mechanic adds to the game in a fun way
Beginner:
-Have at least 2 different backgrounds that are switched between
-Create at least 1 animation sprite on a sprite by changing costumes
-Add at least 2 sound effects
Intermediate /Advanced:
