Max 6 Programming Challenges
- Cylon Kitt Challenge. Try after Patch 004 (solution)
- Marquee Challenge. Try after Patch 007; use triggers (solution)
- Beethoven Challenge. Try after Patch 010; note that the patch turns itself off after running through the notes once (solution)
- Mouse Distribution Challenge. Try after Patch 014; note that you have to send a “mode 1” message to the mousestate object (solution)
- Dick and Jane Challenge. Try after Patch 024; this version uses the route object on messages with two elements (solution)
- Happy Face Challenge. Try after Patch 034 (solution)
- Cartoon Bomb Challenge. Try after Patch 046; this version uses the line object twice
