If you want your character to actually go places, knowing how to maneuver backdrop code is super helpful. Here, the viewer is shown how to make the scene change when your character touches the edge of the screen.

This tutorial was written and performed by Chromeworks co-op student Benley Bernard.

SCRATCH BASICS is a series of simple Scratch tutorials aimed at answering some of the most frequently asked questions posed by new Scratch users. Along with simple game design questions like “How do I use arrow keys to control my characters?” our tutorials also show students how to overcome some of Scratch’s limitations using hacks, workarounds and outside web resources.

Scratch Basics tutorials are created by high school students participating in the Chromeworks Co-op Program. If you are a content creator and a high school student looking for a virtual co-op placement, contact Mr. Tomec at info@chromeworks.ca to find out how you can join our Co-Op Crew.
