2. In this course, we will study, learn, and/or creating games in Scratch that makes it interactive so that you will appreciate how
logic and critical thinking works. This is our Scratch Programming Playground.
In today’s lesson, we’ll start with creating levels in the game while also creating the Maze Runner Game that we will
continuously work on.
The Maze Runner
3. You’ll create a game that lets the player guide a cat through
a maze to reach its goal—a delicious apple! You’ll learn how
to move the cat with the keyboard, how to block its
progress with walls, and how to level up.
Maze Runner Game Mechanics
To prepare, you must know how the game looks like before
we get the blocks. You will know the sprites and a backdrop
needed for the game.
