Creating a player character
The most important part of this game is the player character. This is the direct representaion
of the player in the game. The player can control the character and move it around.
The player has to protect the character from harm to win the game.
Prepare for lift off
We will look for an interesing sprite in the Scratch library to use as the player character.
The diver looks like an interesing choice since he is lying horizontally and facing right.
A perfect start for a side-scrolling game! The diver can be found in the
People
or
Underwater
category. There are two diver sprites. I choose the orange one, because it stands out beter
against a blue, watery background.
