Click the green flag. Gently coral/push/poke/nudge the grub towards the food with your hand. I would like to thank all MIT staff and challenge participants who have made these projects such a wonderful learning and happy experience.

My chosen blocks were the video sensing blocks. While I have used them simply in class to make keepy uppy type games, I have not really taken time to explore all they offer. This project has allowed me to discover a few things - about the transparency - 0 makes the screen very clear! .... and motion detection - that I could direct it to a sprite. I also found it useful to click video off while experimenting with other code and had the video on/off block as a temporary block while working. My initial project just had the grub continually eating, but I went further to add a hidden count down time to stop the action. I had fun creating and animating the grub. I can see that this activity could lend itself to creating games where the sprite is moved to a point scoring goalpost, and am wondering if I could create a tranparent maze for it to travel through....
