Next, you can take on the two extra challenges to add a score to your game and to add a visual feedback effect! When you're done, you can move on to Level 4, the Class Introductions program!

1. Challenge 1: Add a score to the game, so you can try to get all the questions right. When the game ends, display the score!

2. Challenge 2: Make the text of the answer choices turn red and green to show which one is the correct answer, as a visual feedback effect.

In addition to this Online Articles Page and the instructions for our Level 3 challenges, we also have our Help Page, a Learning Quiz, an Unplugged Activity, and a Rewards article:

• Level 3: Help - This page helps you complete the instructions in the book, in case you get stuck.

• Level 3: Learning Quiz - I wrote some questions in case you want to quiz yourself about what you learned. Or you can teach others and quiz them!

• Level 3: Unplugged Activity - I wrote this page with more details than what you saw in the book. In this game, you'll have one person act as the developer, and one person act as the variable where the developer choose a noun for the variable to say in the story that they tell!

• Level 3: Rewards - If you completed the Class Introductions project that we talked about, then I set up this page to act as a reward. You can see some illustrations of me and learn more about who I am! You'll also find the Apple Award digital download, to show off your accomplishment!

After you're completely done with Level 3 (did you do the challenges?), then it's time to move on to Level 4! While you read through Level 4 in your book, you can check out the resources from SideWinder, as she teaches you how to build the Space Wars game:

• Level 4: Space Wars: All Online Resources

I hope you had fun learning about Classroom Quiz! This is something that is very important for all of the future levels! Enjoy!
