      2. Combine multiple shapes to form complicated objects/shapes. (Eg. Trees)
      3. Use outlines to depth and clarity and accentuate features.
      4. Incorporate polygons to create unique shapes more efficiently (without several rectangles/triangles).
  3. Prescribed Criteria 3
    1. Use multiple colours
      1. Use several colours in the image for different objects or variations of the same one.
      2. Include a colour theme that is suitable for a space/stars theme. (eg. Black backdrop, white stars)
      3. Incorporate gradients for lighting.
      4. Incorporate transparent colours.
  4. Prescribed Criteria 4
    1. Create three functions that draw something.
      1. Have at least 3 functions to draw different objects/shapes.
      2. Have a function to randomise the location of stars and draw them and make the image unique each time.
      3. Have a function to randomise the location of trees and create unique ones
      4. Use functions to randomise the location of fireflies.
  5. Prescribed Criteria 5
    1. Create a coherent animation related to the STEM video Game theme.
      1. Create an animation with moving features
      2. Use for loops to limit the amount of a certain item being drawn.

      4. Use for loops to create several objects randomly positioned in the sky.
  6. Prescribed Criteria 6
    1. Use FOR loops to create and position multiple items.
      1. Use for loops to iterate the placement of multiple items.
      2. Use for loops to limit the amount of a certain item being drawn.
      3. Use for loops to create several objects randomly positioned in the sky.
      4. Use functions and classes to allow for each object to uniquely be animated.
  7. Prescribed Criteria 7
    1. Animate at least two aspects of this drawing.
      1. Have at least 2 aspects of the drawing move or change.
      2. Animate space themed elements such as rotating planets and moving asteroids and fire particles.
      3. Animate a scrolling background

      3. Include a moon with a white-black gradient.
      4. Use a semi-transparent black rectangle to create a darkness effect.
  2. Self-Determined Criteria 2
    1. Use unique colours (transparency, gradients) and shapes to enhance animation.
      1. Use unique colours and shapes.
      2. Use polygons to create multiple unique asteroid shapes.
