Creating and Customizing your Own GamesTo start creating games, you may want to get inspiration from other games. Clicking on the link above will allow you to see the code for these games. You may want to load up a game you like and then proceed to customizing it yourself, making it your own.
Once you have had a chance to experiment with customizing the code of existing games, try to create your own games from "scratch" - pun intended! Start out with a simple premise. You can always add more layers, backgrounds and other elements as you feel more comfortable in the design process.
Good Luck! Don't forget to share your games on Scratch and on this course page! See upload option below.
