Be able to use conditional statements.
Be able to use arithmetic operators and loops.
Be able to import sprites and images to customise your virtual pet.
Use correct grammar, punctuation and spelling of keywords throughout this project.
Use a variety of software to manipulate and present digital content.

To earn your last badge, you need to customise your pet.
The time you have to do this will depend on how quickly you finished the other lessons.
Customise your script to make it your own project. You can add anything that you like, but some ideas might be to:
- PetFitness - If your Pet doesn't exercise it can grow fatter, maybe it performs a little animation when you tell it to exercise.
- PetToilet - Maybe your pet becomes stinky if it doesn't go to the toilet.
- PetCleaniness - Make your pet take a shower or bath when he becomes dirty.
- Pet Behaviour - Maybe your pet runs about the screen, or starts messing with other sprites and you have to punish your pet to make it behave.
- Music - Add a BoomBox that when it plays music your pet starts to dance.
- Background - Change the background, add items of scenary or other sprites that can interact with your pet.
The quality and complexity of your customisation will determine which colour badge your teacher awards you.
Here are some sprites that you could use:
