Hi there! I’m Alice, and I work with the product engineering teams at Code.org. I’m super excited because you’ve just reached the last level of our Star Wars coding tutorial. Congratulations! You’ve learned all the skills you need to start creating your own game.
Now that you’ve completed the tutorial, it’s time to let your imagination run wild. There are no more instructions or puzzles to solve. Instead, you get to decide how your game works. Plus, you’ve unlocked some cool new sounds and commands to make your game even more exciting. You can include all your favorite characters too!
In the game I created, R2-D2 collects all the characters, and when he does, you win! Every time R2-D2 collects someone, a different sound plays. It’s super fun, and my highest score so far is 322 points. Can you beat that?
Once you’re done making your game, you can share it with your friends. Just click “Share” to get a link. You can even play your game on your phone. How cool is that?
Remember, the most important thing is to have fun while you’re coding. Keep experimenting, and who knows? You might just create the next big game. Happy coding!
Imagine you are a character in the Star Wars universe. Design your own character by drawing or using a digital tool. Describe their special abilities and how they would fit into your game. Share your creation with the class and explain how your character could be used in a game.
Using the skills you’ve learned, start coding a simple game where your character interacts with other Star Wars characters. Decide on a goal for your game, such as collecting items or reaching a destination. Use the new sounds and commands you’ve unlocked to make your game exciting.
Pair up with a classmate and test each other’s games. Provide constructive feedback on what you enjoyed and what could be improved. Discuss how you can incorporate each other’s ideas to enhance your games.
Create a storyboard for your game. Plan out the different levels or stages, the challenges players will face, and how the story progresses. Use drawings or digital tools to visualize your ideas. Present your storyboard to the class.
Once your game is complete, share it with your classmates by providing them with the link. Organize a game day where everyone can play each other’s games. Vote on the most creative, challenging, and fun games, and discuss what you learned from each one.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Hi, my name is Alice, and I run the product engineering teams here at Code.org. I worked on this tutorial that you’re playing through right now, and you just made it to the last level! Congratulations! You’ve learned everything you need to know to create your own game.
Now, there are no more instructions or puzzles to solve—you can make your own game and choose how it works. One more thing: you’ve unlocked new sounds and new commands to do even more and include all characters.
In my game, when R2-D2 collects all the characters, you win! My game makes a different sound every time R2-D2 collects someone. My high score so far is 322 points.
When you’re done making your game, choose “Share” to get a link you can share with friends or play your game on your phone. Have fun!
