Hi,

I am a teacher and my students had to do blockly to get into programming.

I really like the games they are awesome but unfortunately for me the students looked up the solutions on Youtube.

What I want to do is to make own blockly games which look a bit different to test, if they really understood the idea of the games.

I already downloaded the source code on git.

What I wanted to do is to make as a first a maze like level and to exchange the human with a pirate ship and make the background blue. The goal is then a treasure.

For a following level I wanted to incorporate that they first have to get a key and also incorporate hindrances as rocks (So its like the bird levels).

The next would be to mark where the treasure is hidden (so they have to draw as in turtle).

So as far as I can see I just have to change the images mostly, but I cannot really figure out how to do that.

Maybe you can help me for my project?

Thanks a lot

Kim

That's actually a bit amusing. When we change the solutions we get complaints from teachers that their lesson plans are broken. But when we don't change the solutions, we get complaints that students are using YouTube. :)

Sure, the images are here:

https://github.com/google/blockly-games/tree/master/appengine/maze

Just replace pegman.png, tiles_pegman.png and marker.png with your own artwork. Those first two files are automatically sliced up into 20 sprites that are used in the game. You don't even need to recompile anything.
