Create a Soccer Game on Scratch

Open Scratch and click Create to start a new project.

Choose or draw a player sprite and add it to the stage.

Choose or draw a ball sprite and place it near the center of the stage.

Pick a soccer field backdrop from Backdrops and set it as the stage background.

On the player sprite add code so the arrow keys move the player (right arrow change x by 10 left arrow change x by -10 up arrow change y by 10 down arrow change y by -10).

On the ball sprite add code so when the green flag is clicked it goes to the center points in a random direction forever moves 6 steps and if on edge bounce.

On the ball sprite add code so if it is touching the player it points away from the player (point towards player then turn 180 degrees) and moves quickly a few steps.

Create two goal sprites and place one at each end of the field to act as goal zones.

Make two variables named Left Score and Right Score and show them on the stage.

Add code to each goal sprite so when the goal touches the ball it increases the correct score by 1 broadcasts "Goal" and moves the ball back to the center.

Add code to play a cheering sound and show a brief celebration when the "Goal" message is received.

Add code so when the green flag is clicked both scores reset to 0 and the player and ball move to their starting positions.

Add a simple opponent by creating a second sprite that points towards the ball and moves slowly to try to intercept it.

Playtest the game and tweak player speed ball speed and goal positions until the game feels fun and fair.
