I’ve spent a good portion of the morning working on this Scratch project. The game uses Geometry to control the paddle and determine the direction in which the ball moves. After 5, 10 & 15 points the ball speeds up and black boxes appear which affect it’s behaviour.
Check the project page and “See Inside” to have a look at the source code.

Coding is everywhere! Follow along with a girl and her dog as they explore computational thinking in their everyday activities. Colourful illustrations and easy to access text help readers recognize that many of their daily explorations – cooking, playing, and even being outdoors – provide opportunities to explore and problem solve. Readers will be entertained by the antics of the girl and her dog, and parallels can be drawn between their daily work and that of computational thinkers. A great text for anyone wanting to introduce, and learn more, about computational thinking in the world around us.
