Fish !

Fish! is a simple game that can be built quickly by a novice scratch programmer. The main character is a shark which is controlled by the mouse and wanders around the screen eating fish. Yellow fish taste nice but eating a red fish will give the shark indigestion.

The basic principles behind of this type of game can be used to make many different games simply by changing the background and the graphics on the sprites. A game set in space with a rocket chasing astronauts and aliens would be simple to create using fish! as a base.
