How to Make Countdown a Maze Game on Scratch

 We will make a countdown maze game example with Scratch. For the countdown maze game example we will make with Scratch, we upload the maze picture we downloaded to our computer from the scene section to the scratch program. Then we select the object that we will move in the maze section from the choose a sprite section and add it to our scene.

We bring the object to be moved to the red point, which is the starting point. First of all, we create a variable named Duration to calculate the elapsed time in the maze from the "Variables" menu

When you click the green flag, set the duration variable to 40. Our goal is to get the ball to the finish line in 40 seconds. If our ball object to move, we give the x and y coordinates to go to the red starting point. Our object will not move only once. First of all, we add the "Forever" code from the "Control" menu so that it moves every time we press the arrow key. Now it's time to check which direction key is pressed. For this, we add the "If" code from the "Control" menu. If it is inside, we can check which button is pressed or not from the "Sensing" menu. We start checking whether the "Up Arrow" button is pressed or not. If the up arrow key is pressed, our object will move in the positive direction in the Y coordinate. In this coordinate, we can increase Y by 3 and make it go 3 steps. We check in the same way whether the down arrow key is pressed or not. This goes in the negative direction in the Y coordinate. Then we can increase Y by -3 so that the object goes down. When we press the Right arrow key, it moves in the positive direction in the X coordinate, and when we press the Left arrow key, it moves in the negative direction in the X coordinate. If we want the game to end when the object touches the black lines, from the "Control" menu, if we use the code inside, from the "Sensing" menu, "Is it worth its color? We use the “ code and make the color black. If it hits the black lines, we use the "Hello de" code from the "Looks" menu and change it to "Sorry you lost". In the next code, we give the starting point of the object and make the object go there automatically. We always stop the increasing time with the stop all code from the "Control" menu. We also prevent the object from moving. If the object has reached the end point or not, we get the code from the "Control" menu, and if it touches the green color from the "Sensing" menu, we remove the text " Congratulations You Won". And we add “Stop all” code to stop the time. We check if our time is over with the "If" code. We get the time variable in the variables menu. We put the time variable inside the two expression equals code in the operation section. In the other part, we write 0. Thus, if the duration variable is equal to 0, the message "Sorry your time is up" appears.

In order to make the time countdown, we wait 1 second in the repeat code and decrease the duration variable by 1. Thus, the duration variable decreases by 1.

Blinking LED with Mblock and Arduino

  We will blink the led with the mblock program. The list of materials that will be used in our led circuit before moving on to the codes of the application we will make with the Mblock program: 1-Arduino Uno 2-BreadBoard 3-LED 4-220Ω Resistor 5-Jumper Cables We need supplies. We add a 220 ohm resistor to the long leg of the Led that we added to our breadboard. We connect one leg of the resistor with a jumper cable to the digital pin 8 of our ardunio uno material (You can connect your jumper cable to any digital pin you want between 2-13). The circuit diagram is below. Now let's come to our codes in mBlock; In the Mblock program, we add the Arduino program starter code from the Robots menu. After adding the forever from the control menu, we add the code to whichever digital pin we connected our led to the inside of the "Robots menu ... we add the code to make the pin low. We write 8 because I connect it to digital pin 8. We do not light our led with the code of s...
