Sprite Sprint

Program a sprite step by step through a maze — but the medal you want needs the shortest program and a loop.

How to play

Build a sequence of move and turn blocks (with Repeat and If-Path-Ahead) so the sprite reaches the goal. It is not enough to arrive — gold rewards solving with the fewest blocks, which usually means folding repeated steps into a loop.

• Add blocks from the palette, then press Run to send the sprite
• Reach the goal to earn bronze, silver or gold by efficiency
• Hint reveals how few blocks the optimal loop-based solution uses

Controls

• Desktop: click palette chips to add blocks, click ✕ to remove, type a count into Repeat; use Run, Clear and Hint buttons
• Phone & tablet: tap the palette and program blocks directly

Game modes

• Daily: the same seeded maze for everyone, in Small, Medium or Large
• Practice: generate fresh mazes at any size with New Maze

Tips & strategy

• Spot the longest straight run and wrap it in a Repeat to slash your block count
• If Path Ahead lets one program survive branching corridors

What you'll learn

Sprite Sprint turns maze-solving into a lesson in writing tight, looped programs, building real programming logic.

• Skills: loops, algorithms, programming logic, problem-solving
• Best for: roughly grades 4–9 (ages 9–15)
• For parents & teachers: writing tight, looping programs to solve mazes.
