MAIN TASK
Create a Quest & NPC
Today, we'll talk a bit about variables and use them in order to create an NPCs that will give us a quest. In order to complete the quest, we'll have to use variables to keep track of whether or not the player has recieved the quest, as well as how far along they are in completing the quest.

Basic Setup
First, let's look at the basic setup for the map. I don't go over all of this, as y'all have already learned most of this part. Make a map design however you'd like. You can also choose your own sprites.
Follow along with the video here.

Creating our NPC
Next, we'll create our NPC and have them give our player the quest. We'll use a conditional IF block so our player doesn't get stuck in an infinite loop of quest requests.

Part 3
Making the Quest
Now we need to keep track of how many fish we've rescued. We'll use another variable for that.
Follow along with the video here.

TASK:
On your slide for today...
Complete the tutorial, customize and go beyond the basic build, then make a video showing what you created.
Maybe you could add multiple quests? Or a time limit? Fish can't live out of water forever...
Maybe there are enemies chasing you... Experiment, be creative.
