🤝 Simple Interactions

Play Me!

Often times, we’ll want to be able to write some code that happens when two sprites touch each other. This could be things like:

• A laser beam touches an enemy in a game
• A character touches another character while walking across the screen
• Any other ideas?

In Scratch, this is really easy!

For example, let’s say we want a character to say “Excuse me!” when she walks past another character, like this:

We can have the first character walk across the screen as usual, but use an if/else block to check if she’s touching the other character.

Your Turn!
