SFA STEM Circuit Challenge 2
A downloadable game
SFA STEM Circuit Challenge 2 is a 2D puzzle game designed for students aged 8-12 about completing circuits. The students play as a robot who can move using the arrow keys (or WASD keys) to push computer chips that conduct electricity throughout a circuit-themed labyrinth. The chips are color-coded, and will only work if pushed to their correct spot. The robot can also use his laser eyes (the Space key) to blast destructible red bug blocks out of his way in his mission! The robot must avoid the mysterious purple hazards on his journey, but if he touches them more than 3 times, he will explode!
In the event that players get stuck and can no longer complete a level, the 'R' key may be used to instantly restart the level. If you want to reset the game to the title screen, the 'F2' key may be used to do so.
SFA STEM Circuit Challenge 2 is open source, and the code can be found by following this github link: https://github.com/JAEOStudios/SFA-STEM-Circuit-Challenge-2
Use with the Makey Makey device
SSCC2 is designed to be functional with the Makey Makey educational device. It can be used as a controller for the game by using the Directional Pad on the Makey Makey, as well as the Space button for firing the robot's laser and navigating menus. Further information about the Makey Makey, such as how to set the device up, can be found in the documentation that came with the device.
Custom Levels
SSCC2 supports user modified levels, and fully custom levels! This gives older students a chance to practice their design and logic abilities by creating circuit puzzles of their very own to solve! A video version of this guide can also be found here:

This game is done as a passion project in collaboration with my volunteering with Stephen F. Austin State University's STEM Research and Learning Center. It is used heavily by the center with the Makey Makey device, but I wanted to release it for all to use as wanted!
