Created for TEEN Game Design Class. Credits to the book "Scratch 3 Programming Playground," pages 58-81 for the basis of the coding. Thanks to GameDesignTeacher for the base sprites, sounds, and backdrops. I added player direction and ball direction because it was annoying me that I could only throw the ball in one direction. Also, I added the Timer variable and disabled the controls when Timer reaches 0. Also, I increased the size of the sprite Hitbox from 100 to 150. I changed the background music to the current music, which I found in the Scratch Library. 2 Player version: Added a second player and second ball, and recolored both cats. Made it so that the cats start at the origin Added a second score, and the Winner sprite. Also, added code to pause the game, play music, and show a sprite before completely stopping the game. Added title screen. Additional sounds from the scratch library. The Basketball Hoop I found on wikipedia: (Douglas Road Metrorail basketball hoop) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Douglas_Road_Metrorail_basketball_hoop.jpg (Creative Commons 2). I edited the hoop image to remove its background.
