CODING PATH B
Creative Coding Challenge
Design and build an interactive game using Scratch, Entry, or MRT AI Scratch App that responds to the Highway Collapse rescue theme. Optionally, use camera-based motion control for advanced gameplay.
Your Mission 🎯
Design and build a game that responds to the challenge theme. Your game should include:
- A clear goal or mission
- Player interaction — controls, decisions, actions
- Rules or obstacles that create challenge
- A beginning and ending, or a clear game flow
- Visual and logical elements that connect to the theme
💡 Students should aim to create a game that is both meaningful and fun to play.
Allowed Tools 🛠
✅ Scratch✅ Entry (playentry)✅ MRT AI Scratch App
Not allowed in this category:
PythonJavaScriptOther text-based languages
🎮 Both Scratch and Entry are block-based coding platforms suitable for game creation.
🤖 Use the MRT AI Scratch App if you want to add camera-based motion control to your game.
🤖 Use the MRT AI Scratch App if you want to add camera-based motion control to your game.
AI / Motion Control (Optional Advanced Feature) 🤸
Want to take your game to the next level? Use the MRT AI Scratch App to control your game with body motion!
- 🤸 Pose / Motion — move your body to steer a character, jump, or dodge
- ✋ Hand tracking — use wrist coordinates to aim or move
- 🖼️ Image recognition — show objects to trigger in-game actions
- 🔊 Sound recognition — use voice as game input
⭐ Projects using AI/motion control will be scored on the AI / Motion Integration rubric criterion (up to 20 bonus-equivalent points). This is the key differentiator for top scores.
⚠️ If you use motion control, it must be the main way players interact with the game — not just a small extra feature.
Evaluation Criteria 📊
| Criteria | Beginning (1) | Developing (2) | Accomplished (3) | Exemplary (4) | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theme Interpretation | Not related | Loosely connected | Clear theme response | Creative, deep interpretation | ×5 = 20 |
| Gameplay Quality | Not playable | Basic interaction | Engaging game flow | Polished, balanced, addictive | ×5 = 20 |
| Coding Logic | Broken / minimal | Basic scripts | Variables, events, conditions | Modular, efficient, well-structured | ×5 = 20 |
| Presentation | No explanation | Brief text only | Video + description | Clear demo + detailed explanation | ×4 = 20 |
| AI / Motion Integration | Not used (baseline) | AI added but minimal role | Motion controls main character | Fluid, creative motion gameplay | ×4 = 20 |
Total: 100 points
📝 Students who do NOT use AI/motion will receive a baseline score of 2 (Developing) for the AI criterion — they can still score up to 88 points through excellence in other areas.
Submission Requirements 📦
- A video link (YouTube or Google Drive) showing gameplay — max 3 minutes
- A code link — upload your project file (.sb3 or .ent) to Google Drive and share the link
- A short project description explaining the game idea and theme connection
📁 Upload your code file to Google Drive, set sharing to Anyone with the link, and paste the link when submitting.
🤸 If using motion control, your video must show you playing the game with body movements.

Important Notes ⚡
Students should build an original game. Simply changing images from a common sample project will not score highly.
“Imagine a world in crisis. Now build the game that saves it.”
