    Hi HN! I'm a 4th grader and made this game called Mouse Escape with my dad. It's kind of like Pac-Man, but you play as a mouse escaping from humans and eating cheese! We made it together using AI and it only took 1 hour. Would love if you try it and tell us what you think :) Play here: https://www.roadcrosser.com/mouse-escape Thanks! -anonymouse

    Sprig is a tile based game engine made by Hack Club that's like Scratch's older brother but has it's own set of unique limitations. All sprites need to be made in Bitmap and uses a midi like event sequencer to get any music into it, since it's meant for a different set of hardware, you can only use very basic controls too. I made a version of PacMan inside it that has randomly generated mazes every time and mostly works well!
