ScratchJR Maze Game Design Tutorial (Lesson 2)
In this post, the maze game in ScratchJR will be further enhanced by building a maze to navigate.
For projects or games in ScratchJR, the start and end screens play an important role in enhancing the completeness of the product, demonstrating the professionalism of the program. We will create a start screen to introduce information and an end screen when the player wins the game. Below are instructions for creating the start and end screens for the ScratchJR maze game.
How to create an opening screen for ScratchJR program
Step 1:
You reopen the previously created maze program. Next, click on the plus icon on the right side to add a new animation.
