Add Cloning Code for the Traps

Because you’ll want several traps in the maze, you could dupli-
cate the Trap sprite, but there’s a better way. You can use the
clone blocks to make clones of the Trap sprite. Make the Trap
sprite’s code look like this:

the repeat 6 loop will run the create clone of myself
block six times to make six clones. these clones will then run
the code in the when I start as a clone block. this script first
moves the Trap sprites to random positions in the maze. after
the wait 2 secs block pauses them for a bit, the forever loop
switches between the trap off and trap on costumes, which
sticks out and retracts the spikes.
