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?
