This online game was developed with Scratch, a project of the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at the MIT Media Lab. Scratch is provided free of charge.

With Scratch, you can program your own interactive stories, games, and animations—and share your creations with others in the online community.

Scratch helps young people learn to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively — essential skills for life in the 21st century.
