In the Scratch game in this chapter, the cat will play the
part of Mario or Luigi. the player can make the cat jump
around a single level to collect apples while avoiding the crabs
who will steal them. the game is timed: the player has just
45 seconds to collect as many apples as possible while trying
to avoid the crabs!
Before you start coding, look at the final program at

Get ready to program a more complicated game than those
in previous chapters!

Sketch out the design

Let’s sketch out on paper what the game should look like. the
player controls a cat that jumps around while apples appear
randomly. the crabs walk and jump around the platforms ran-
domly, too.
