Working with the main character
Now, it's time to make our main character! This sprite is going to need two costumes: one
with the wings up and one with the wings down. Luckily, Scratch already includes cos-
tumes, so you don't have to draw it yourself (but feel free to do so if you want!).
1. If you haven't removed Scratchy yet, right-click on the Scratchy sprite icon in the
right column, and select
delete
.
2. Under the game stage, you'll see the
Choose new sprite from file
option. Click on
that option.
3. A pop up will be displayed showing a list of folders; choose the folder
Animals
.
4. For my example, I choose
bat1-a
as shown in the following screenshot:
5. Double-click on it, and you will see it appear on your stage and in the sprite panel.
Select it, and then click on
Costumes
.
6. Next, in
New costume
, select
Import
and choose
bat1-b
. Your sprite now has the
costumes that it needs to look like it's flying.
7. If you feel like drawing your own costume for your sprite, select
Paint
instead.
Now, let's work on the scripts for our bat!
