Now it’s time for you to practice the past few lessons. You’ll look at a program that we have provided. It’s called ‘Get the Ghosts’, a little shooter game. Play it for a minute or two and then reproduce the entire game!
Part A – Observe the Game
Play GetTheGhosts01.exe for a minute or two, it’s an application in your resource folder. It’s not a complete game yet, but it will be one of the games we add on to as we learn how to program.
Part B – Watch
Watch the video: 02-05-A
Challenge 01 – Clone the Game
Now that you’ve watched the game, you’re job is to clone it. Start from a brand new empty project file and reproduce the program so that it is an exact match (or almost an exact match) of what you see in my program. The sprites and sounds can be found in the Lv02 resources folder.
*Remember to use the coding cheat sheet for help with code*
Challenge 1 Solution
The solution is a three part walk through of me making the game.

Congratulations! You’ve completed Level 02!
In the next level, we will introduce you to creating, changing, and checking your own user created game variables. Your programs will advance to an entirely new level… Level 03!
