🏅 Badge It – Customising your Virtual Pet
- To earn your last badge, you need to customise your pet.
- The time you have to do this will depend on how quickly you finished the other lessons.
- Customise your script to make it your own project. You can add anything that you like, but some ideas might be to:
- PetFitness – If your Pet doesn’t exercise it can grow fatter, maybe it performs a little animation when you tell it to exercise.
- PetToilet – Maybe your pet becomes stinky if it doesn’t go to the toilet.
- PetCleaniness – Make your pet take a shower or bath when he becomes dirty.
- Pet Behaviour – Maybe your pet runs about the screen, or starts messing with other sprites and you have to punish your pet to make it behave.
- Music – Add a BoomBox that when it plays music your pet starts to dance.
- Background – Change the background, add items of scenery or other sprites that can interact with your pet.
- The quality and complexity of your customisation will determine which colour badge your teacher awards you.
- Remember to upload screenshots of your finished project to bournetolearn.com
- Here are some sprites that you could use:
