TIPS:
- Costumes for States: Use different costumes to show the pet’s states, such as happy, hungry, or playing. You can switch costumes based on the pet’s actions.
- Interactions: Create buttons or clickable sprites for actions like feeding, playing, and sleeping. Use when this sprite clicked blocks to handle these interactions.
- Variables for Needs: Use variables to track the pet’s needs, such as hunger, happiness, and energy. Adjust these variables based on the user’s interactions.
- Broadcasting: Use broadcast messages to manage different activities and transitions between them.
ADVANCED TIPS:
- Health System: Add a health system to make the game more challenging. The pet’s health decreases if its needs are not met. Use a variable to track health and display it on the screen.
- Animations: Add animations for different actions. For example, animate the dog eating when it’s fed or playing with a ball when it’s in the playing state.
- Sound effetcs: Use sound effects to make the interactions more engaging. Play a barking sound when the dog is happy or a snoring sound when it's sleeping.
- Multiple Pets: Allow the use to choose between different pets, each with its own needs and behaviours. Create separate sprites and costumes for each pet.
