Scratch uses a<a href=\"https:\/\/brightchamps.com\/blog\/block-based-coding\/\"> block-based coding<\/a> language and gives users a wide field of possibilities to create games and projects.&nbsp;If you&#8217;ve ever wanted to try your hand at game design and programming, this tutorial is for you. We&#8217;ll guide you through the process of creating a fun and challenging game where you&#8217;ll land a rocket on different planets, using Scratch&#8217;s drag-and-drop interface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if you&#8217;re new to Scratch or programming in general, don&#8217;t worry &#8211; we&#8217;ll cover everything you need to know to get started. So, let&#8217;s ignite those thrusters and blast off into the world of game development!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><h2>Table of contents<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"#h-creating-a-rocket-lander-game-in-scratch\" data-level=\"2\">Creating a Rocket Lander Game in Scratch<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-conclusion\" data-level=\"2\">Conclusion<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-frequently-asked-questions-faqs\" data-level=\"2\">Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-creating-a-rocket-lander-game-in-scratch\">Creating a Rocket Lander Game in Scratch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rocket Lander is a type of <a href=\"https:\/\/brightchamps.com\/blog\/create-flying-game-scratch\/\">game<\/a> in scratch in which a rocket is dropped. We must direct it to land on a pad and try to land straight.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A player will lose the game if it is landed slightly angled.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The code we write determines how straight the rocket lander in Scratch will land. Scratch now allows you to design your own rocket lander.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you begin writing code in Scratch, ensure that you are familiar with the following Scratch areas:<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"cstm_banner_cta\"><\/div>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Choose The Rocket Sprite as A Rocket Lander in Scratch&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To begin, locate the<a href=\"https:\/\/brightchamps.com\/blog\/grouping-sprites-in-scratch\/\"> Sprite <\/a>button in the bottom right corner, next to the Backdrop button. Once you&#8217;ve located the Sprite button, click on<em> Choose A Sprite<\/em> and then look for a rocket ship.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Scratch, you can also build your own rocket to serve as a Rocket Lander.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After inserting the rocket sprite into the stage, reduce the rocket size to 50, for example. The size property is visible beneath the stage area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then, on the block palette, go to Costumes; there are 5 costumes. Remove the first four costumes and keep only the last one with the flame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"468\" src=\"https:\/\/brightchamps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Rocket-Lander-Game-in-Scratch-2-1024x468.png\" alt=\"Rocket Lander Game in Scratch\" class=\"wp-image-5001\" style=\"width:768px;height:351px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brightchamps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Rocket-Lander-Game-in-Scratch-2-1024x468.png 1024w, https:\/\/brightchamps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Rocket-Lander-Game-in-Scratch-2-980x448.png 980w, https:\/\/brightchamps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Rocket-Lander-Game-in-Scratch-2-480x220.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Second, from the Sprite button, click<em> <\/em>on<em> Choose A Sprite<\/em> again and look for a pad to place at the bottom of the stage, exactly in the center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project now has two sprites: <em>a rocket<\/em> and <em>a pad<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"464\" src=\"https:\/\/brightchamps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Rocket-Lander-Game-in-Scratch-3-1024x464.png\" alt=\"Rocket Lander Game in Scratch\" class=\"wp-image-5002\" style=\"width:768px;height:348px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brightchamps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Rocket-Lander-Game-in-Scratch-3-980x444.png 980w, https:\/\/brightchamps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Rocket-Lander-Game-in-Scratch-3-480x217.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Choose a Backdrop for the Rocket Lander<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is a Backdrop button on the bottom right side.
