Mini Game

In Globaloria we had to make a mini game. We had to do 7 steps and upload everyone to our Wiki Projects Page. Making the game it self, wasn't hard. But the coding was confusing. Instead of just adding the codes to the bottom, you had to figure out where to put the coding because sometimes it belongs at the top of the whole code and sometimes you were just adding it to the bottom of everything. When I was putting in the first part of the code, my carrot wasn't moving at all, I checked everything, but found out it was my clouds in the background that had the coding and that's why my carrot wasn't working. After that incident, everything was smooth sailing and Had no problem with the mini game, making it or uploading it.
