Programming velocity and speed in Scratch
What Happens Next?
The Space Maze game showcases the difference between velocity and speed that can be applied to future projects. Even though I didn't discuss it, my version of the game ends when the rocket touches the head. It's anti-climatic, for sure.
If you want to extend the current game, you could make the UFOs shoot at the rocket, make the head float around the stage, or add another level.
Happy scratchin'.
