Collect It!

Inspiration

When the theme was released as "Attract" I immediately thought of magnets that attract metals. That inspired me to create this game on scratch.

What it does

This game is infinite/doesn't have a game over; you either lose or gain points. You can drag the magnet around the screen and press the space button to shoot screws. Zombies will appear randomly on the screen, and you can shoot them with the screws (to aim, point your mouse towards the zombies). Randomly, different types of junk will appear on the screen. You have to drag the magnetismForce slider to the right value (you have to guess the right value/experiment with it), then the junk will come to the magnet, then you drag the magnet to the right trash can, and the trash will follow. (The trash cans are color-coded with the junk).

How we built it

I used Scratch, and found the images online.

Challenges we ran into

The magnetism force was hard to figure out, and for a while the junk wouldn't go towards the magnet due to a logic error. Eventually, I figured it out, but it was a difficult roadblock.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

This was one of my first scratch projects, and the first one that was actually functional so I'm proud I figured out how to use it.

What we learned

I learned how to code in Scratch! :)

What's next for Collect It!

I will probably try to do things to increase difficulty, like a lower acceptable range for magnet attraction.
