Scratch Sprites
Last week I started my scratch maze game. We had to create a maze game on scratch. I have just finished doing my sprites (characters) last week. It was very fun creating and designing my sprites on scratch, I had some times where I just wanted to not do it again but I kept on going and it got me here. I love how my sprites look and I bet I am going to create a great game. I have to just finish my coding and background so ya I can't wait for that to come. I hope you ENJOY!!!! ( :
