Use the left and right arrow keys to move around the stage and collect gold coins that fall from the sky. Use the space bar to jump. CHALLENGES: 1) Program the score. Add points when the leprechaun collects coins, and lose points when the coins touch the ground. 2) Make the game get progressively more challenging by speeding up the coin fall speed. (Hint: If the score = 20, then change speed.) 3) End the game if the leprechaun misses three coins. (Hint: Create a "Missed Coin" variable.) BONUS CHALLENGES: 1) Add sound effects when he collects coins and/or misses them. 2) Program a simple musical jingle to repeat in the background. 3) Draw a rainbow in the background of the stage. 4) Add another falling object to avoid. Lose points if the leprechaun accidentally catches these. 5) Make a leaderboard! (Hint: You'll need another variable and to use the Username block in the Sensing palette.)
