This is a tiny game to display someones name with a fun screen effect. Open the script, using the image editor to draw your name.

Ooh … @peli, this would make for a great introductory or ice-breaker activity! 😃 There’s just enough in there to play around with to make it a great activity to introduce the IDE. Cleverly simple. I love it!

The name itself would be a sprite moving around the canvas and one could use the tilemap to restrict it from going over the red. Left as an exercise to the reader.

The image editor is running extremely slow for me here, using chrome.
