Term 4 2025 Competition Brief
Overall Challenge:
To create a game or a simulation
that relates to Magnetism!
Any student of any skill level can join in the competition and has a chance to win prizes for coming 1st in their skill level.
To create a game that uses the theme “Magnetism”. This means that your game or simulation must include, in some way, magnetism (attracting or repelling one object to/against another). This could be making a sprite “stick” to another when a button is pushed, having a magnet pull another sprite along or something completely different! It’s up to you to create something that fits the theme, so get creative!
Once the project is completed, students should send their scratch project to https://forms.office.com/r/r5iZVMGzh6.
Where they will be judged on:
Students may choose which level they wish to enter into and should specify when completing the Google form which one they are entering. Here are the different tasks for the different levels.
Once the project is completed, students should send their scratch project to https://forms.office.com/r/r5iZVMGzh6.
Where they will be judged on:
- Originality (How original the game/simulation is; if lots of other students use the same exact idea, then it will be less original).
- How effective/efficient the code blocks are (if 50 blocks of code can do the same thing as 100 blocks, the 50 blocks of code would win. The game/simulation should also work as intended).
- How much fun your game or story is (and if it can be played from start to finish as intended).
