ScratchJR Maze Game Design Tutorial (Final Lesson)

For projects or games in ScratchJR, the start and end screens play a crucial role in enhancing the product's completeness and showcasing the program's professionalism. We will create a start screen to introduce information and an end screen when the player wins the game. Below is a guide to creating the start and end screens for a ScratchJR maze game.

 

How to create a start screen for ScratchJR

Step 1:

Reopen the maze program you created earlier. Then click the plus icon on the right to add a new scene.

Next, drag the animation to the top of the previously created maze game to create the opening screen.

 

Step 2:

Next, you need to change the background image for the opening animation and add text . The result is the program's opening screen as shown below.

Step 3:

Now you need to create an arrow pointing towards the cat , then program it to move up and down to guide the player to click on it.

Tap the plus icon on the left side of the screen to add a character. Then draw a triangle to create an arrow.

Step 4:

Enter the command as shown below for the arrow icon .

Then, a flashing movement effect will appear on the arrow, guiding you to tap the cat character to start the game.

 

Step 5:

Continue clicking on the cat to add commands as shown in the image. Clicking on the cat will switch to the maze game animation.
