And we’re back! I hope you used your couple of weeks space between Joy of Code episodes to catch up and get a bit of practice with Greenfoot — and now we’re off again.

  1. Great job, very inspiring videos, i can’t wait for the next one! What i am only missing is some notes (a page in pdf or just some text in your blog) outlining what was the video about, definitions, rules, tips and so on.

  3. Is there a way to add mouse inputs to the turtle game as if there are (x) amount of lives the turtle has? Or just to be able to have a turtle already on screen and add another turtle with a mouse click and be able to control both?

  4. Is there a way to make something execute once and only once when touching the walls? having trouble with atWorldEdge causing things to execute several times (for instance i tried making an array out of my colors.. to see if i could.. and it strobes through the array at WorldEdge.)
