Code a Fun Space Shooter Game 🚀 | 1. Move & Shoot | Scratch Tutorial

How to build a simple, fast paced space shooter in Scratch based on the classic arcade game Asteroids, but with Lemons! In the first of this three part Scratch coding tutorial we cover player movement and the firing of lasers. This will then set us up for the really exciting part two where we can look at enemy Lemons, collisions, and splitting of the lemons. Part 3 will venture into the awesome explosion flashes, screen shake and more!

Wondering why Lemons? Well, Lemons were the first fruit to have achieved interstellar capability and are thus attempting to take over the universe. To tackle such a scenario we obviously need to fight back with rapid fire lemon busting lasers!

Every time i say to myself "I wanna make something, something unique!"
I hear : hello fellow scratchers!
And my dreams are made!

Griffpatch the shooting code doesn't work. The laser's speed when it shoots is slower than the speed of your laser here.

Griffpatch: I'm more interested to know how many times I can say "Lemon" in one episode! Lemon Lemon Lemon! Were you counting?
Everyone: *rewinds video to the beginning and pulls out a notepad*

[Nochi_Chimbi]

You said lemon,
I think of eminem,
But I want to eat ramen,
But I can't because of saman,
Who told me it's not vegitarian,
I think after reading this rhyme you get nostalgian,
But I see venom at Eddie's haven, where Kevin was eating ramen 🍜 while drinking venom, But venom start eating Kevin who was eating ramen and drinking venom at Eddie's haven while you we're saying lemon 🍋.
Yoooo 🤘😵
