Try Spaceship Adventure: Flying to the Moon for fun Scratch Project!
Spaceship Adventure: Flying to the Moon
Platform: Scratch
Level: beginner
Create a project where the Knight, Puppy, and Wizard are inside a spaceship flying through space towards the moon. Use simple motion blocks to move the spaceship slowly across the screen. The characters switch costumes to show excitement as they fly and play a sound when the spaceship reaches the moon. Use repeat loops to keep the spaceship moving and conditional blocks to stop the motion when the moon is reached.

Spaceship Adventure: Flying to the Moon Sample Solutions
This section provides detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to build the project. There are many ways to create a project, so feel free to explore different approaches. Please note that these instructions are Al-generated, so errors may occur and the coding blocks may not map to Scratch exactly. But it should serve as very valuable references. Stay attentive as you follow along, and enjoy!
Choose a space-themed backdrop and add the Knight, Puppy, and Wizard sprites. Add a spaceship sprite or draw one. Place the Knight, Puppy, and Wizard inside the spaceship by shrinking and positioning them on top of the spaceship sprite.
Use motion blocks to move the spaceship sprite slowly across the screen. Use a repeat loop to keep the spaceship moving until it reaches the moon.
When the spaceship is flying, have the Knight, Puppy, and Wizard switch to their 'excited' costumes. You can use the 'switch costume to' block when the spaceship is moving or when it reaches the moon.
When the spaceship touches the moon, play a celebration sound and stop the spaceship's movement.
