- 19. Challenge! • Create anew program (Press ‘File’ and ‘New’). Don’t save your old project. • In your program, I would like you to: 1. Add an apple sprite and put it on the right hand side of the screen. 2. Move your cat to the left of the screen. 3. Change the background/backdrop. 4. Make your cat walk across the screen until he reaches the apple. 5. Say ‘Yum!’ when he reaches the apple (Add a ‘wait 5 sec’ block (‘Control’ category) after this ‘Yum’ block so that he won’t immediately turn green!). 6. Turn green after saying ‘Yum!’. 7. Save by hitting ‘File’ and ‘Save as’. Save the file into your USB key folder (under the ‘My Computer’ heading).
