What you will make

Create a virtual pet, character, or nature simulation that the user can interact with to help it. Your game will need to meet the project brief.

Virtual pet games are one type of game where users interact with characters to meet the characters' needs. You might have played with a small handheld Tamagotchi or enjoyed games like Catz and Adopt me! on a computer. Can you think of any other virtual pet games?

You will:

  • Make a character or simulation that is fun or interesting to interact with
  • Use any combination of variables, broadcast, and if blocks, with the skills you have already learnt, to allow a user to meet the needs of a character
  • Understand how characters in games and apps are controlled by algorithms

Play

Interact with Cricket the bat. What happens if you click on the food or water sprites? How can you tell if the bat is hungry or thirsty?

PROJECT BRIEF: Help me grow

You need to create a virtual pet, plant, or other simulation that the user can interact with to meet its needs. You will use variables to keep track of how your main sprite is doing. It might be happy, bored, thirsty, or sleepy.

Your simulation should:

  • Use at least one variable to keep track of what the main sprite needs
  • Have a way for the variable(s) to change automatically
  • Give the user a way to improve the variables to give the main sprite what it needs
  • Use if blocks to control when things happen
  • Use broadcast blocks to communicate between other sprites and the main sprite

Your simulation could:

  • Have a message, such as kindness or keeping crops healthy
  • Alert the user when levels are too high or low
  • Allow the user to chat with their sprite, or change its name

Think about what you will choose as a main sprite. It could be a pet that the user cares for, a person that the user helps make good decisions, a plant or crop that the user helps to grow, or a nature or fantasy object that the user needs to create the right conditions for.
