Code EPIC Explosions & Collisions in Scratch

After teaching you how to shoot projectiles in the last episode, Mr. T demonstrates how to blow up your targets with animated explosions. It turns out it’s a little trickier than it looks, especially when cloned projectiles are shooting cloned enemies.
You'll find some of the Scratch files we used to put together this video in this studio: scratch.mit.edu/studios/32681076
Created by Atomec Studios and narrated by veteran tech educator Andrew Tomec, SCRATCH HACKS is a new series of quick and simple Scratch coding tutorials aimed at beginner- to intermediate-level coders. Scratch Hacks aim to take the fear factor out of coding with byte-sized video tutorials that offer tips and advice on the most common questions and problems that arise when youngsters first take up coding in Scratch. In his work as a Canadian elementary school teacher, Mr. T has taught hundreds of introductory coding classes to children from kindergarten up. "I was struck by how often the same simple questions arise in every class I teach. Learning to code is like learning any other language, and these compact lessons will help give learners the vocabulary they need to express themselves in the digital world."

The gif needs the right costumes that's why it is glitching

[@KhalidTheBeeKeeper]

[@atomecstudios]

It's so nice to hear that this info is actually being put to good use! Thanks for the great feedback.

You acually forgot the fact that when scratch imports a gif some of the coustumes are out of order. here is a script to fix this. costumes : costume1 costume3 costume2 when flag clicked set [ frame ] to ( 1 ) [forever ] switch costume to (join (costume) (frame)) change [ frame ] by ( 1 ) [ ]

[@atomecstudios]

Thanks for that! I haven't actually encountered that problem before.
