 * Stage 2: Design - Note that you do not have to create a game for this assignment. You only need to demonstrate that you can use keys to control a sprite, you can use a broadcast command and you can use a logic or conditional command. You could do all by telling a story rather than by creating a game. **
 * Create a program that uses at least 2 keys to control the sprite. the buttons that are used are the up, down, left, and right arrow
 * Create a program that uses a broadcast command to have a sprite communicate with another sprite or stage. In the beggining, the mouse says Oh no, the cheese! then the cat laughs.
 * Create a program that uses a logic or conditional command, for instance if sprite touching If the mouse touches the cat, then the game stops. But if the mouse touches the cheese then you win and the mouse says something.


 * Stage 3: Plan **
 * keys to control
 * broadcast to control
 * logic or conditional command

 * Stage 4: Create **
 * Stage 5: Evaluate **
 * Answer the following questions **
 * 1) **Remembering**: What did you do in the project? What was your inspiration? I made a cat that has to get to the cheese without touching the cat. my inspiration was Tom and Jerry.
 * 2) **Understanding**: What was important about it? What did you learn? The important was the broadcast and that is what I have learned.
 * 3) **Applying**: Where could I use this again? I could use it in another game.
 * 4) **Analyzing**: Do I see any patterns in what I did? What did you get stuck on? How did you get unstuck? Who in the class viewed your story? Who helped you with useful tips and suggestion? No. I had problems with the broadcast. I got out of it when I tried to redo it. The teacher had viewed my story. The video had helped me with a lot of parts.
 * 5) **Evaluating**: How well did I do? D id you include everything in your design? If something was not included, explain why. What are you most proud of? Why? I am proud of the mouse and cheese because I have drawn it.
 * 6) **Creating**: What should I do next? What do you want to learn next? I think that I will try to make a more challenging game.
