Hog Hop is a fun, beginner-friendly Scratch game that teaches you the basics of game design and character control using simple programming blocks.

In this remix, you play as a cute hog who needs to hop over moving obstacles to avoid crashing. It’s a one-button game: press the spacebar to jump! The longer you play, the faster the obstacles come, making it more challenging and exciting.

This project is a remix of a simple jumping game created to help students:

• Understand how events like “when space key pressed” work.
• Use motion and gravity simulation (jump and fall).
• Detect collisions between sprites (hog and obstacle).
• Use loops, conditions (if, else), and variables like score or speed.
• Customize sprites, backgrounds, and sounds.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn basic Scratch programming skills.
• Understand how to handle keyboard input and sprite interaction.
• Modify and remix an existing game to make it your own.
• Develop creativity by adding your own sounds, characters, or levels.

Try This!

• Can you add background music?
• Can you make the hog double jump?
• What happens if you add more obstacles?
