Sig Fig Blaster Bonus Challenge.
The teacher created a game called Sig Fig Blaster on a website called scratch.
The challenge is to get the high score, but because of some bugs in the game (for instance, holding down
the key when you fire can count for several hits and multiple points with just one shot), here are the
rules: to be considered for the competition, you must e-mail to the teacher a screen shot like the one
below, showing your score, the game over sign and no more than 50 hits out of the 50 count. The top
score will get 15 bonus points, 2nd place will get 14 pts, and so on down to the 10th place will get 6 pts. If
there is any question as to whether you actually got the score you claim you got (as in photo-shopping
the screen shot), you may be asked to come in to show that you can repeat the score (or at least score
within 5 pts given five tries.) If you are unable to do so, you may be penalized that number of points
instead of awarded!! The deadline is this Sunday at midnight.
New this year: an alternative version of the game created by Shane Robertson uses the mouse instead
of the arrow keys to aim the blaster gun. Benefit: faster aiming, Drawback: you cannot curve your shots
the way you can in the original game. You can play either one of them for the bonus.
