How to Make Epic Games in Scratch: Learn Scratch Coding and Game Development with Step-by-Step Programming Projects for Kids and Beginners (1)

How to Code Epic Games in Scratch is a fun, beginner-friendly guide that teaches kids, parents, and educators how to create real games using MIT's Scratch programming language. With simple, step-by-step lessons, gamers learn how to build animations, interactive stories, platformers, side scrollers, and more, all with no prior coding experience required.

This project-based book walks learners through five complete game builds while introducing key programming concepts such as loops, conditionals, events, variables, and problem-solving. Each chapter includes challenges, quizzes, tips and tricks, debugging hacks, and creative tasks that help kids think like real game developers.

Perfect for Homeschoolers, families, classrooms, after-school programs, and independent learners, this book makes coding accessible, exciting, and confidence-building. Whether you're brand new to Scratch or ready to level up your skills,

How to Code Epic Games in Scratch gives young creators everything they need to turn imaginative ideas into playable projects they can proudly share online.

From the mind that brought us Jackson Academy, game developer and creator Sulaiman Jackson is back with an interactive workbook that introduces programming concepts using Scratch, a visual programming language loved by millions of young creators worldwide.

Developed by youth, for youth, this guide blends fun projects, structured learning, and comic-like entertainment, perfect for classrooms, homeschoolers, or self-paced study.

Trusted by millions of young programmers, artists, and developers, this book has:

- Step-by-step projects that build real skills

- Aligned with beginner programming standards

- Perfect for ages 7-17, or any aspiring coder

Used alongside the popular Epic Games Scratch Coding Course, this coding workbook takes you from an average gamer to professional game developer and programmer.

Sulaiman Jackson is a game developer, author, digital creator, and educator with a passion for making technology, programming, and game development accessible to the next generation of creators.With a background in video game software development, Sully has spent years combining programming, game design, digital art, animation, and education to create engaging learning experiences for young people. His work is centered around a simple idea: one of the best ways to learn technology is to create something with it.As an educator and creator, Sully has helped introduce students to coding, animation, digital art, game development, and other creative technologies through hands-on projects designed to transform students from consumers of technology into creators.He is also involved with Jackson Academy, an educational organization focused on providing young people with opportunities to explore technology and the creative arts. Through educational programs, workshops, books, and digital content, his work has reached learners both in the classroom and online.Sully's experience as a game developer strongly influences his approach to teaching programming. Rather than introducing coding as a collection of abstract concepts, he believes students learn best when they can immediately use those concepts to build something exciting. Games provide an ideal environment for this approach because they bring together programming, mathematics, logic, problem-solving, art, animation, storytelling, and creativity.That philosophy inspired How to Make Epic Games in Scratch, a project-based introduction to Scratch coding and game development. The book was created to help young programmers understand not only how to follow coding instructions, but how to begin thinking like game developers. By building interactive projects, experimenting with game mechanics, solving problems, and modifying their creations, readers can develop programming skills while experiencing the excitement of bringing their own ideas to life.Beyond Scratch, Sully's creative interests span game development, software, digital media, animation, graphic design, 3D design, and emerging technologies. This multidisciplinary background allows him to approach technology from both a technical and creative perspective.His goal is to show young creators that the games, animations, websites, applications, and digital experiences they interact with every day aren't magic-they were created by people who learned how to turn ideas into instructions that computers could understand.And they can learn to do the same.Through his books, educational content, and creative projects, Sully hopes to inspire more young people to experiment, build, design, program, and discover what they are capable of creating.Don't just play. Create.
