Here are the 5 sprites you will need to create for Game2.

They are located in Game2 Resources.

They are spr_ball, spr_edge, spr_miss, spr_score, and spr_paddle

Create the 3 sounds listed below and load the sounds from the sound files in the Game 2 Resources folder

snd_beep = beep.wav

snd_miss = miss.wav

snd_score = score.wav

To create a background, just load the background from the Game 2 Resources folder and name it bckgd_green. Or you can load any picture you may want to use for a background and label it bckgd and then what it is.

Create the following objects and associate the sprites you created earlier.

obj_ball, obj_paddle, obj_score obj_miss, obj_edge, and obj_scoreboard.

All objects are checked visible & solid EXCEPT obj_miss & obj_scoreboard.

obj_miss has none checked.

obj_scoreboard has just visible checked and DOES NOT use a sprite.

Create a font to display the score

Name it ft_score

- Select the font of your choice

- Select the Size and choose Bold and Italic if you wish

Click OK to save

Create a Room to look like the one below:
