Scratch

have you seen the little pac man example project that comes with the scratch program? thats a kind of similar to what you're trying to do, i believe

but the way i'd do it is probably just make it if the ant is touching black, have it move -2 or so steps so it goes backwards
and then with the movement
uh
wait

okay so with the normal movement you could just do when up arrow pressed point in direction 0 move 2 steps and the same thing with left and right and down but with different directions and yeah

i think you'll have to use the way where you make a new script for every direction though because the way when it's all in one script doesn't seem to work well for me but i might have just done something wrong

okay i'm assuming the enemies are the same color
if they're not, then you might want to consider it for sensing purposes

so when the ant is touching the color of the enemy guys you make it so the score goes down by one, then you might want to make it wait a second or something because otherwise you'll lose the game pretty quick

and for the background, you make a script for the stage thats like forever if score=0 switch to backgroundwhatever
but backgroundwhatever is going to be the name of whatever your ending screen is
and you'll have to make a script for the ant so when score=0 it hides

and don't forget to set the stage to the maze background when the green flag's clicked, and to set the score to whatever it's supposed to start as, and to make the ant sprite show when the green flag is clicked too

i would just show you pictures of the exact scripts but you're doing this for a class :p
