Inspiration

I wanted to introduce people to some features of Python through a game made in Scratch.

What it does

It's intended to be a game where the player has to input python commands asked by the characters to progress into the game. It hopefully will inspire young kids to get into programming.

How I built it

I used Scratch :D Yes, it's blocked based, but it doesn't make it any less than other languages.

Challenges I ran into

Time management was a struggle. I had to quickly condense the storyline and scratch out ambitious ideas at the top of my head while creating this project. Being in a solo team was tough.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I finally learned to add end tags compared to 2 years ago. I also liked the base/ideas of the game being used to practice Python. It could make elementary school kids gain interest for programming.

What I learned

I learned to use multiple broadcast statements to my advantage. I also learned that cutting ideas out isn't a failure if you have a time limit; they can be implemented later.

What's next for Sky Pirates (Demo)

I may work on this more to have a more "complete feel" with the ideas that I couldn't add. Maybe an HP system and add more animations with the sprites I used. I also want to add multiple levels to build up difficulty to face the final boss with the newly learned programming knowledge.
