Scratch Day 9: Score

A variable is essentially a number or set of words that can be added to a project to make it more interesting. Variables allow you to add score, which are a vital part of game-making. To younger kids, a variable could just be explained as another block that makes the score appear in your game. The way you add variables into your project is pretty simple, as all you have to do is title it and then the blocks appear for you to be able to add them to your script. You can put the block that alters the score in a certain place as to add a certain effect on your game. For example, in the fish chomp game above, the score increases by one when the big fish eats a smaller fish.
