How to build a simple, fast paced space shooter in Scratch based on the classic arcade game Asteroids, but with Lemons! In the first of this three part Scratch coding tutorial we cover player movement and the firing of lasers. This will then set us up for the really exciting part two where we can look at enemy Lemons, collisions, and splitting of the lemons. Part 3 will venture into the awesome explosion flashes, screen shake and more!
Wondering why Lemons? Well, Lemons were the first fruit to have achieved interstellar capability and are thus attempting to take over the universe. To tackle such a scenario we obviously need to fight back with rapid fire lemon busting lasers!

05.10.2022One small nitpicky correction: at 5:42 you say "air resistance", but since we are in space, there is none. This really doesn't affect the project at all, but it's just so if anyone wants to make a more realistic version, just multiply by 1. Anyways, amazing tutorial as always!
countrysidetrainwooo
05.10.2022Theres a bug in the movement script for me. I cant move up or down, and mine wont slide like your one does.
edit: wait, it works! i just was getting my x's and y's mixed up.

05.10.2022While I was doing this, the lazers failed and they fired from the centre, not the player, so I attached point towards mouse pointer to the lazer, and joining up with the point towards player that was also on there, it worked, still a really good tutorial though!
