Purchase options and add-ons

This is the second title in The QuestKids children’s series that was launched by In Easy Steps in 2018, designed to make learning fun for children.


Coding with Scratch – Create Awesome Platform Games shows kids how to create amazing platform games with Scratch. They will learn how to:


  • Use code to make a series of games where sprites leap from platform to platform.
  • Design different levels, draw graphics, and make simple animations.
  • Use variables to keep the score and to simulate gravity in games.
  • Make code blocks and functions.
  • Add sound to bring games to life.

Starting with an introduction about how Scratch works, this book is suitable for beginners but with lots of tips, challenges, and extensions for experienced Scratch coders.


To create the games in this book, children will need a desktop computer or a laptop. The games require a proper keyboard so will not work well on a tablet or iPad. It is recommended that children should be supervised when using the internet, especially when using a new website.


This edition is in UK English.

After learning to code as a child I decided to study further and completed a Computer Science Degree at University in the UK. Following this I decided to train as a primary/elementary school teacher. I taught in the UK and in Singapore. After spending many years developing educational software for fun, I co-founded 2Simple Software in 2000. After many years of developing software, growing the company and working with some fabulous people I sold my part of the business in 2011.

Since then I've divided my working life in three ways. I teach, I write software and I write books.

At the moment I teach Coding in a London primary school and run a 'hub' for other local schools on ways to Teach Coding in the Classroom. I'm currently working on a few software projects of my own, but also do some work with Discovery Education and the London Grid for Learning. I've written quite a few books on Coding for kids. My most recent publication is "25 Scratch 3 Games for Kids", but I'm working on a couple of new ones too.

When I'm not working I like spending time with my wife and my two teenage kids, plus my friends and wider family. I also enjoy reading, cooking, playing the guitar and creating things.

If you have any queries about the activities in my books, or are getting a bit stuck then please get in touch! I do regularly get invited to speak at educational conferences, or to make author visits to schools - please let me know if you are interested in discussing either of these.
