Planning Your Masterpiece 📝

One. Choose Your Theme 🎯 What excites you most? Pick something YOU love!

2. Sketch Your Ideas ✏️ Draw your sprites and backgrounds on paper first!

3. Map Your Project 🗺️ Think about:

• What happens when the project starts?
• How will users interact with it?
• What makes it fun or interesting?

4. Plan Your Code 💡 Which programming concepts will you use for each feature?

5. Gather Your Assets 🎨 Start creating or finding your sprites, backgrounds, and sounds!

Step 2: Build Your Creation! 🏗️

Let's Start Coding! 💻

One. Set Up Your Stage 🎭

• Add your backgrounds
• Create or import your sprites
• Set up your variables
• Get everything in place!

2. Code the Core Features ⚙️ Start with the main part of your project:
