Making it your own

Here is the best part of every chapter and build. What will you do to remix the build and the code to make it unique to your own creative power? While Simon Says is a standard game, there are a lot of ways to enhance your build.

Here are a couple of ideas to consider applying to this game:

  • What new graphics could you display besides the solid bars? Arrows? Images?
  • What new sound effects could you add? What are your favorite jingles from movies, cartoons, or video games that you could add?
  • Could you change this from a Simon Says game to a Bop It game? Instead of tilting the Intelligent Hub, could you have the player activate one of the gesture controls such as shaken, tapped, or falling?
  • What if you used a touch sensor or even rotated a motor to add new levels of difficulty to the game?
