Module 2: Create Your Own World

Official Raspberry Pi Project

This lesson is based on the official Raspberry Pi Foundation project. Open it alongside this guide to access the starter project, step-by-step instructions and community remixes.

How to use it: Click the link above, then click See Inside on the Scratch project to explore the finished version. Use Remix to get your own copy to edit.

What You Will Build

Build an imaginative world using everything learned in Modules 1 and 2.

What You Will Learn

By the end of this project you will be able to:

• Use Events blocks to start scripts and respond to clicks
• Combine Motion, Looks and Sound blocks to create behaviours
• Use variables to track game state and scores
• Apply the specific Scratch concepts introduced in Module 2

You Will Need

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Decide on your world’s theme: fantasy, futuristic, underwater, jungle, etc.
2. Create 3 unique backdrops for different areas.
3. Add a main character sprite with walking animation (at least 4 costumes).
4. Add 5 interactive NPCs or objects that respond to clicks.
5. Add a dialogue system using variables and conditional responses.
6. Add at least one mini-game (coin collection, puzzle, or simple combat).
7. Add a world map for navigation between areas.
8. Add ambient sound and music for each area.
9. Add a quest system: collect items to unlock new areas.
10. Share your world and let others explore it as a Scratch project.

Extension Challenges

Try these after completing the main project:

• Add a save system using cloud variables.
• Add day/night cycles that affect NPC behaviour.
• Create a sequel world that loads from a URL link in the project.
