Scratch x AI Game Design Course
Explore AI technology, create interactive game worlds
Learn fundamental artificial intelligence (AI) concepts and create interactive games with voice recognition, image recognition, and machine learning using Scratch!
This Scratch AI game design course teaches students how to combine AI technology with Scratch programming to create interactive and challenging games.
Scratch is a visual programming platform that allows students to create interactive stories, games, and animations through drag-and-drop blocks. AI is technology that enables computers to simulate human intelligence, such as voice recognition, image recognition, or self-learning. By combining Scratch and AI, students can create intelligent games where characters can learn from player behavior, respond intelligently, and enhance game interactivity and challenge.
Core Learning Content:
- Scratch interface operation and basic programming concepts
- Understanding AI applications: Simple machine learning and Scratch integration
- Exploring facial recognition
- Exploring gesture recognition
- Explore pose recognition
- Character interaction and simple game design
Course Content and Suggested Topics
This course combines the Scratch programming platform with various artificial intelligence technologies, including machine learning, voice recognition, facial recognition, AI behavior simulation, and augmented reality (AR), enabling students to create interactive and intelligent gaming experiences. Students will learn to use Scratch’s visual programming blocks to design game logic and incorporate AI technology to make game characters respond to player behavior. Through these technologies, students will not only enhance their programming skills but also develop more challenging and creative games, improving their problem-solving abilities and creative thinking.
AI Rock Paper Scissors Game
Use gesture recognition AI to automatically determine the winner when players make their moves in a game against the computer!
Students will learn how to use AI machine learning to train game opponents for rock-paper-scissors battles.
Voice-controlled Maze
Players use voice commands (like “up”, “down”, “left”, “right”) to control characters through a maze.
Students will learn how to use voice recognition to make game characters move according to player voice commands.
Expression-controlled Jumping Game
Using facial recognition AI, characters jump when players smile, challenging them to dodge obstacles!
Students will use facial recognition AI to let players’ expressions control character jumping actions.
AI Ping Pong Battle
AI uses image recognition to track ball position and automatically controls the paddle to compete against players.
Students will learn to design AI-controlled opponents to challenge players’ reaction speed and strategy.
AI Pet Simulation Game
Through voice and image recognition, players can feed and interact with virtual pets while AI determines the pet’s emotions and needs!
Students will use machine learning to train pet responses, creating an interactive pet world.
AR Virtual Treasure Hunt Game
Using camera image recognition, players search for target objects in the real world to trigger treasure rewards in Scratch!
Students will combine augmented reality (AR) and AI image recognition to design a game for finding virtual treasures in the real world.
