This year’s theme “Space Potatoes” inspired us to create a game using Scratch. We were absolutely in love with this idea and had to implement it in our game!

In this game, we have 4 different options of potatoes which you can change during the game by pressing the "S" key. The goal is to shoot the aliens with french fries as fast as you can in one minute. You have to move the potato using the left and right arrows. To shoot the french fries at the aliens, click the spacebar. When the timer reaches 15 seconds, a boss alien appears which takes more hits to defeat. If you defeat the boss alien you get 20 points and you get -20 points if you don't.

We built out project on scratch, one person screenshared while the others gave input. We drew out out our components on the scratch vector editor. We used multiple variables for time, boss health, and scores.

One challenge we faced was that the lasers weren't hitting anything, we had problems figuring out how to make the scoring work, and making the "Boss Battle Incoming" words blink. It took a long time to make sure everything was working and done correctly, however, we were able to fix these issues to make our game work!

We are very proud that we were able to collaborate with each other online and develop a fun game that goes with the Space Potatoes theme! We are also proud that we were able to debug our code by ourselves whenever we encountered an issue.

We learned to better work as a team when only one person is able to work on the site. We also learned to bugfix and get others opinions to fix issues.

We could make more game mode. For example, some modes we can add in the future could be easy, intermediate, and advanced.
