Ideas for simulators
Having introduced Scratch to pupils (Age 9-11) using a Trafiic Light simulator, I'm looking for ideas to do more advanced stuff and to be cross-curricular linked.
I think I could do with 2 other projects at least, with the difficulty stepping up but I want to just move the ceiling while keeping the start of the projects very easy to do.
This would help differentiate but still keep less able pupils engaged.
But I'm short of ideas 
Any suggestions ?
regards
Simon

Re: Ideas for simulators
If they havn't already seen the Gravity Blocks, thats a good challenge for them - make blocks that fall, but that can be stacked on screen.
Requires:
A "falling" script
A means to detect when not to fall.
A means of dragging and dropping (easy in 1.2, of course 
)
