Result

Overview

In this project, a CHARACTER starts at HOME BASE and follows a PATH while avoiding OBSTACLES to get a PRIZE. To win, the character brings the prize back to home base. The character isn’t allowed to touch the OBSTACLES. If it does, it’s “zapped” and starts over from HOME BASE.  For extra credit, the player has a limited amount of time to complete the game.
