Can you make a Scratch version of the Google Chrome Dino game? That’s the dinosaur jumping game that appears when you have no internet.

Graphics and sounds for the game

Here are all the graphics and sounds : https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/238638836/
(Note: the sounds are on the stage)

Part 1 – scrolling the ground:

Have you noticed that in the game the dinosaur is stationary and the ground is moving? This gives the effect that the dinosaur is running. Your first task is to make the ground move from right to left.

A good approach to scroll the ground is using cloning. Here is an example of how to do it:

Part 2: Get T-Rex to jump

Can you do this bit yourself without any instructions? Do you know how to programme a sprite to jump? If you’ve coded platformers before, you already know how to make a sprite jump.

If you’re stuck, you can look at this YouTube tutorial to see how this guy does it:

Part 3: Add the cacti for T-Rex to jump over

The code for this will be very similar to the code for making the ground scroll. If you are stuck, the above video also shows how to do it.

Part 4: Finish the game

Can you finish it yourself?????

Here’s what needs to be done:

  • Pterodactyls (the flying dinosaurs)
  • Clouds
  • Make T-Rex duck when down arrow is clicked
  • Day/Night – no need for additional costumes, you can use brightness!
  • Scoring variables & print scores
  • Sound effects
  • Speed up as game goes on

If you need help part 2 of the YouTube tutorial video shows how to do some (but not all!!!) of these tasks.
