  • Create your own project with these 3 rules. Your project should:
    • have at least two sprites, at least one of which must resemble something other than a cat
    • have at least three scripts total (i.e., not necessarily three per sprite)
    • use at least one if/else condition, one loop, and one variable
  • Once you've created your project, share the project on Slack so others can play around with it!
