Catching Cats

Inspiration

I was inspired by the other games online that are simpler to operate but fun to play with.

What it does

It drops cats at random places from the top of the screen and players have to catch it by moving the basket around with the left and right arrow keys. Eventually, it starts dropping cats faster and faster. The player has three lives and a game over screen is displayed after the three lives are used up with the user's score.

How we built it

I built it with code.org.

Challenges we ran into

A challenge I ran into was that cats were first falling in zigzag, and they bounced away before the basket got close.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I am proud of how I debugged that and allowed the cats to fall the way they should and allow the basket to interact with the cat before the score is recorded and falling again.

What we learned

I learned how to debug code quickly.

What's next for Catching Cats

I want to add more functions such as something that records the level the user moved into. Also, I can make this multi-player and have separate scores be recorded with a leaderboard.
