Dino Runner by Ashbel remix

Dino Runner – Remixed by Washingtone!

One of our talented students(Ashbel) recently created a fun version of the classic Dino Runner game — and I had the chance to remix it with some new features!

🦖 What’s Dino Runner?
It’s a simple, fast-paced game where a dinosaur dodges obstacles to keep running. The original version was already fun, but I’ve added a few twists to make it even more exciting.

What’s New in the Remixed Version?

Winning Condition:
You now win the game when your score reaches 100. It’s a real challenge — can you do it?

Game Over Condition:
If the ball touches the dinosaur, the game ends instantly. Stay alert!

Dynamic Speed:
As your score increases, the game gets faster. This makes it more intense the longer you play!

Why This Matters

This remix is a great example of how creativity + code can turn a basic game into something more engaging. It’s also a fun way for students to:

  • Learn about game mechanics
  • Practice logic and conditional statements
  • Understand real-world applications of programming

Try It Yourself!

Want to give it a try? [Play the game or download it]

We’re proud of our student’s original version and excited about the remix. More fun and learning projects coming soon!
