Teaching Point:

---

Today we will learn how to use Point Towards to make Enemies for our game.

Making an Enemy

---

The first thing we want to to do is make or Import a new Sprite to be an Enemy in the game. Once you have that done, we can make a new rule, and put into a FOREVER block attached to a Green Flag. Why again do we want to attach it to a Green Flag?

When we use Move 10 steps we are telling a Sprite to Move Forward, which may be left or right depending on what direction it is facing. If we say move -10 we want it to move backward. How can we make a rule that our Enemy Sprite will chase us using the Following Blocks:

• Forever Block
• Move 10 Steps - doesn't need to be 10 but some number
• The POINT TOWARD block in the Motion Menu

Finally, should we add a Wait Block? Why?

Once you are done with that, make a new Variable to keep track of how many Lives the Cat Sprite has. When an Enemy touches it, the Cat Sprite should lose 1 life.

Today's Assignment

---

Make 1 or more new Sprites to be the enemy of your Cat Sprite. Use Code to make them chase your Sprite around, and to make the Cat Sprite lose 1 life every time it is caught.

Extension Activity

---

Make a special costume to show when the Cat Sprite gets caught by and Enemy.
