Worksheet

Part 1: Getting Our Maze!

DESCRIPTION

- Go to https://tinyurl.com/Code-Haven-Maze-Game 
- Click the See Inside button
- Sign in to your Scratch account 
- Click the Remix button
- Rename your project “Maze Game” 

Your maze should look like this!

Part 2: Moving in Scratch!

Let’s make the Scratch cat move up, down, left, and right with arrows!

- Make the program run forever when the flag is pressed.

- Make four conditionals, one for each arrow button that can be pressed 

- Add the correct direction inside each arrow conditional 

Here’s a block bank to get you started!

Part 3: From the Window…

When Scratch runs into a wall, he should teleport back to the start!

- The blocks below should go in Scratch’s forever loop!

 - We should have a conditional that runs when Scratch hits the wall color, sending him to the start and making him say a sad message.

Here’s a block bank to get you started!

Part 4: Field Goal!

When Scratch gets to the green area, he should say an encouraging message!

- Add one more conditional that runs when Scratch gets to the end! 

- Write a fun message for him to say to the game player :)
