After last weeks struggle over the IF statement and REPEAT loops, I thought a little refresher might be in order.

Today’s lesson was taken from the Scratch Your Nose website. We opened the Pong tutorial and followed it to create the game. Time was spent in the lesson looking at the roles Variables, the IF statement and REPEAT loops had in the program.

We then went on to expand the game but increasing the difficulty and adding sound.

Extension tasks after the break.

How could we modify the game to create these classics, feel free to answer in the comments?
