Variations

• • Currently, the frog and aphid keep moving after the game has ended. Prevent this by setting their Enabled properties to false in GameOver and true in RestartButton.Click.

  • Technically, the ladybug should disappear when it is eaten by the frog. Change the game so that the ladybug becomes invisible if eaten by the frog but not if it starves to death.

  • Replace the ladybug, aphid, and frog pictures with ones more to your taste.

  • Add ambiance with a background image and more sound e‚ffects, like a warning when the ladybug’s energy level becomes low.

  • Display a score indicating how long the ladybug has remained alive. You can do this by creating a label that you increment in Clock1.Timer.
