Problem 1.1.7 in PLTW's new CS course challenges teams of students to design a game or story. This project demonstrates one architecture for designing a story that relates the scenes of a story to the states on a state map. Each scene has one or more exits that take the narrator character to a different scene. The exit sprites, which have a thematic costume of a pink arrow, are activated when the narrator touches them. Each of those sprites broadcasts two messages to enact the change in location on the state map. One broadcasted message stops the current scene, and another message starts a new scene. The character's size and location, and the visibility of exits and other objects is set upon entry to any scene. Look at the scripts for each sprite and the background. Can you understand the framework established and follow the conventions to add another scene? Can you create a state map describing the interconnections among the scenes of the story?
