Scratch game

Today we have to design and make a game on scratch.

First I tested out all of the already made games
Some of them included: Pong, Pac-man, Trampoline, Fish chomp, Bug on a plate, doodle, Tetris and many more.

I chose to change an already existing game called pong. I am thinking of putting characters, key controls, backgrounds and levels on it.

Here are the instructions for the original game
INSTRUCTIONS
*Move mouse to control paddle
*Don't let the ball fall into the lava

HOW I MADE THIS
*The paddle just moves it's X coordinate to whatever the mouse's X coordinate is
*I drew the ball using the gradient effect in the paint editor
*The trickiest thing for me was to get the ball to bounce off the paddle right. I ended up going on the website and finding how someone else had done it: "point in direction (180 - direction)". I still find this confusing but it works really well. Then I turn a random amount to make it more interesting.

MORE IDEAS
Make the game more complex or change images.
