Inspired by an enormous Friends of the Library book sale we recently visited. Those of us that love books are not unlike polite dragons and their hoard. Use the mouse to guide Readmore Leermas to the floating bookshelves. Touching the shelf yields a book for her Book Lode. Like a good book, you just cannot skim! Help Readmore gather as many books as possible in 60 seconds. Once Readmore acquires a book, she retreats to the edge to see where she would like to explore next. The sale gets crowded. Bumping into another reader also sends Readmore to the edge. Dragons really must be polite!
I used the Scratch library for Sprites, Backdrops and Fonts. The little book image is one I drew. Future Updates: 1) Use costumes to set up shelves with specific topics and a reading list for Readmore to gather. 2) Have sprites appear between the shelves. 3) Add a budget. Final score is based on maximizing the number of books given the budget and maybe having to buy/find specific volumes. 4) Bonus points for finding a first edition or an autographed copy.
