Defeating the boss
When the boss has had enough, it should disappear and declare the player victorious.
Adding this step will conclude the tutorial and finish the game.
Engage thrusters
We will yet again expand the script of the boss sprite. For this final step, we won't create a
completely new script, but we will add to the main boss script that already exists. This is the
one that starts with the
when I receive <boss>
block.
When the condiion in the
repeat unil ()
loop is met, the script will exit the loop. When this
happens, it means that the boss has received the described number of hits and should be
defeated. We will write the following instrucions for this defeat script:
1. Ater the
repeat
loop, add two
say () for () secs
blocks; fill in the value
1
in the
second empty slot for both the blocks.
2. First we will have the boss say "I give up" by filling in
I give up.
in the first empty
slot of the first block.
3. Then we will have the boss say "You win" by filling in
You win!
in the first empty
slot of the second block.
The finished script will look like the following screenshot:
After that, the boss should also disappear with a bit of spectacle.
1. We add a
repeat ()
loop after the
say
blocks; fill in the value
30
.
2. Inside this loop, we use
change <color> effect by ()
(with value
25
) to make
the boss sprite change its color repeatedly.
3. We also add
change size by ()
to make it shrink; fill in value
-1
.
4. Then we use
create clone of <myself>
to create the clone trail behind the boss.
5. Now we will use
wait () secs
to slow down the process to a visible level;
fill in value
0.03
.
6. Ater this ixed loop has inished execuing, we will hide the boss (using
hide
).
7.
Finally, we can safely use
stop <all>
to conclude the game.
