Greenfoot is software that uses the programming language Java to make simple games.

​

This is called object-oriented programming (OOP) because objects are coded to interact in a visual environment.

​

Work your way through the following tutorial to create a game similar to one required in the WJEC 2017 specification Component 2 exam.
