This post is for kids or teachers who have a basic understanding of the Scratch interface. It’s really light, and for more detailed information you should always refer to the Scratch Wiki. How do I make my player move when I press keys? This is probably the most common beginner question I hear at our Code Club. If you asked this, that’s great, because it means you’re already got an idea of what you want the player to do in your game.

During our Code Club sessions, a lot of questions come up. It reminds me of when I was at school and trying to figure out how all these pieces of information fitted together. A good analogy might be piano lessons: school kids can often find themselves learning piano and doing exams, without anyone ever stopping to ask them what they wanted to get out of it or how anything they learned would help them achieve anything useful.

Using Raspberry Pi robotos in multiple locations If you run a Code Club at a location that you don’t have access to during the week, you may already have discovered how important it is to have everything set up beforehand. This often means being able to communicate what you want to whoever looks after the computer network at your Code Club location. There’s a few possible scenarios: Your location already has computers set up and connected to the network.
