Frog Catch Game 🐸🪰

CS50x: Introduction to Computer Science - Problem Set 0

This is my first project for Harvard University's CS50x, an introductory course on computer science and the art of programming. The project was developed using Scratch to explore fundamental computational thinking concepts.

📝 About the Project

In this game, the player controls a hungry frog trying to catch insects falling from the sky. It serves as a practical application of core programming principles:

• Score System: Uses variables to track performance and determine game states.
• Dynamic Gameplay: Implements loops and clones to handle three insects falling simultaneously.
• Sound & Visual Feedback: Custom sound effects and costume changes based on conditional logic.
• Game Over Mechanics: A special "dead frog" costume and soundtrack are triggered if the score drops below zero.
• 

🎮 How to Play

• Left/Right Arrow Keys: Move the frog across the screen.
• Objective: Catch as many insects as possible.
• Challenge: Don't let your score hit negative numbers, or it's Game Over!

🛠️ Concepts Applied

• Conditionals: If/then logic for scoring and game termination.
• Variables: Real-time data management for the score.
• Event Handling: Responding to keyboard inputs and sprite collisions.
• Loops: Continuous motion and sprite generation.

🚀 How to Run

1. Download the project.sb3 file.
2. Open the Scratch Online Editor.
3. Go to File > Load from your computer and select the file.
