= The Scratch Patch – Simon Says = Issue 5 - [|September] 2012Article by [|Antiloquax]  Make a “Simon” Memory Game! We are going to use Scratch to make a memory game based on the classic toy: “Simon”. If you’ve never heard of it, ask your parents (or grandparents!).  It’s a simple game. Simon plays four notes and you have to repeat them in order. If you get it right, you get another sequence with more notes to remember – and it goes faster each time! The original “Simon”. First, make four quarter-circle sprites. I did it by making a circle first and then selecting the bit I needed, discarding the rest. You’ll need each one to have two “costumes”: one a dark colour and one lighter (to look like a light is on!) It’s #|easy to make a second costume. After you have made your sprite, you’ll see a tab [|called] “costumes” in the center panel. [|Click] on it and make a new costume. That’s the #|hard bit done! Now we can write some scripts.

The Scripts
These scripts control a #|sprite that is just a button with “New Game?” written on it. This is the #|main script that controls the game! I gave it to the yellow. segment sprite, but it doesn’t really matter which sprite owns it

Each segment sprite will need these scripts. You’ll need to vary the #|numbers for the notes. I used: 60, 62, 65 and 67.
