Lesson Overview

This final lesson in the unit introduces the new concept of conditionals and combines it with loops and events to create a program where sprites can react to touching each other. The project in the center of this lesson is a bit more complex than previous lessons as it provides opportunities to connect all concepts from the previous lessons together.
