What we are looking for in your entries:
- Originality (How original the maze and it’s additions are, if lots of other students use the same exact idea then it will be less original)
- How effective/efficient the code blocks are (if a 50 block of code can do the same thing as a 100 blocks, the 50 block code would win)
- How much fun your game is with all it’s additions (and if the game can be played from start to finish as intended)
Students may choose which division 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.
Beginner:
- Be able to complete the maze

- Add at least 1 new feature to the game such as enemies, timer, moving obstacles or something else
