 I will be checking your Coding assignment tomorrow. Have it ready.

This is what I am looking for

1) Three different backgrounds

2) When a character moves to the edge (top, bottom, left or right), it will hop to another background automatically

3) All the codes that allow you to do this


8B, 8C, 8D (Science test, water system)

- by the third week of May (after Victoria weekend, after May 19), you will have a test on water system

- need to know if you are taking good notes in class (open book test)

- a lot of the materials I cover is not in the textbook (water table, Walkerton, Flint, filtration, river and ocean profiles etc)

8C Coding homework

 Create a program that:

  1. Has a character that can move around (Challenge: Can you animate the character walking?)

  2. When the character moves to the edge, they will be transported to a different area (See gif below). The transportation does not need an animation, or needs to be in a specific room.

Hint: Look at our previous lesson on ‘The Grid’.


Minimum 3 backdrop from place to place (e.g. Amazon rain forest to Great Wall of China and then to Sahara Desert)

- add sound when the character drops in to a water well


  1. Bonus: Can you put sprites in each of the areas to make the places more lively?
