"The Big Bad Wolf"

Episode 10 ・ Wolf Galaxy

Get Ready!

Part 1

Last time on

Star Stuff!

Cordy and Lem brought us to Reflection Galaxy, where they trapped each of us in a room of mirrors!

LUZ

Being in that mirror room alone was kind of scary....my memories were fuzzy, and I couldn't see myself clearly.

JAZMIN

Yeah, it was super weird! But when I saw something that reminded me of our team, my memories came flooding back!

BRICK

Me too! And once that happened, I was able to break free and escape the mirror room!

EMILIO

After we all escaped, we convinced Cordy and Lem to take us directly to Wolf.

VALERIA

...And that's where we're headed now. It'll be our final showdown, so we gotta be ready for anything.

LUZ

Our story continues...

So this is Wolf Galaxy, huh? His face is everywhere...it's creepy.

VALERIA

Yeah...how'd he get this galaxy, anyway? No way it existed like this already...

LUZ

Hey! Stop bad mouthing Wolf, you two! Just so you know, the way he took over this galaxy was genius!

LEM

It used to be called "Imagination Galaxy" or something silly like that. So Wolf had his bots stamp his face right over those [blank pages]!

LEM

Seriously? That's messed up...wasn't the whole point of the original galaxy to inspire people?

VALERIA

Oh? But what could be more inspirational than my face?

???

EEP! It's him!

JAZMIN

W-Wolf! So good to see you, sir!!

LEM

Cordy and Lem, reporting in — the rebels kept trying to escape, so we've brought them to you.

CORDY

Indeed, they seem determined to keep getting in my way! Wherever I look, your group is there, ruining my beautiful work!

WOLF

And we'll keep doing it! We're gonna restore this galaxy, just like we did with all the others!

VALERIA

Y-yeah! What you're doing is wrong — we've already met people who forgot their real passion because of you and your stars!

LUZ

So? If everyone loves me, and only me...won't we all be happy? Everyone can bond over their admiration of me!

WOLF

But, but...the fact that everyone likes different things is what makes our universe interesting!

JAZMIN

Yeah! It'd be so boring if everyone only talked about you, Wolf! I mean seriously, don't you have anything else that interests you? Any hobbies?

EMILIO

Maybe after we fix up this galaxy, we can all talk about our own hobbies! You might like one of them, Wolf!

BRICK

Ha...haha...fix up the galaxy? Like I'd ever let you do that.

WOLF

Did you forget? I'm the founder of Unibots! I have control over everything!

WOLF

In fact, I can send out another "update" to all the bots you've fixed! I can reset all your hard work like it's the easiest thing in the world!!

WOLF

...Oh yeah? If it's so easy, why haven't you done it yet?

VALERIA

Because my two adorable sidekicks here must be the ones to do it — and you've kept them quite busy. But now they're back and ready to work!

WOLF

...You two CAN code a new update for the bots, right?

WOLF

...Of course. It might just...take a little time.

CORDY

Great, great! And once the bots are making Wolf stars again, I'll make them all rogue, too! So people like you can't reset and code them again!

WOLF

Making bots rogue does take quite a bit of stardust...good thing I have tons of it, thanks to people loving my Wolf stars!

WOLF

Ugh, you're the worst...!

LUZ

Now do you see? You have no chance against me!

WOLF

Cordy and Lem, get to work! I'll go gather all the stardust we need! And the rest of you...maybe just give up now, okay?

WOLF

Uh...isn't this situation pretty bad?

EMILIO

It is, but...I think he's scared of us. Otherwise he wouldn't be trying so hard.

VALERIA

Yeah. If we restore this galaxy, Wolf will have almost no power left...we can win this, as long as we finish before they do.

LUZ

We'll bring Imagination Galaxy back to how it was, so that everyone can imagine their own future. Now let's do this!

LUZ

Star Transformer...

LUZ

Make me a star!

EVERYONE

Keep Going!

Part 2

Keep this in mind as you play...

Work independently to solve puzzles!

 

If you get stuck, remember to:

  1. Understand the problem
  2. Plan a solution
  3. Try the solution
  4. Reflect on the solution

 

Do your best, coders!

Check In!

Part 3

We're almost done...the last Starpad's right there...!

LUZ

Oh yeah? Too bad, because we're almost done, too!

LEM

Cordy here. The code for the new "update" is ready to go...finally.

CORDY

And I've got all the stardust we need! In just a moment, all the bots will permanently be making Wolf stars!

WOLF

Oh no...we just need to buy a little more time...

LUZ

Hahaha, too late! I'm about to win, and there's nothing you can do—

WOLF

Wha-huh?!?! / Agh! / GAH!

WOLF / Cordy / Lem

Hey, what just happened to all my code?! No way...are you...?!

CORDY

...ED?!

EVERYONE

No time to explain! Everyone, go hit the last Starpad!

ED

R-right! Down the ladder!

JAZMIN

Cube in the cube tray!

BRICK

Cross the bridge!

EMILIO

There it is — Luz, go!

VALERIA

In the name of the stars...Wolf, you're going down!

LUZ

(whoosh)

LUZ

Did...did we do it? But what happened to Wolf and Cordy? And where'd you come from, Ed??

LUZ

Teehee! We'll explain everything — let's head back to the station.

ED

...Okay. While we walk back, let me tell you all about an idea I have. I'll need your help, Brick...

LUZ

Great, everyone's here!

ED

...???

EVERYONE

Time to introduce ourselves for real! I'm Eddy!

EDDY

Hey everyone, I'm Edwin! I'm the one who stopped Wolf just now!

EDWIN

I'm Edgar — I was in charge of stopping Cordy!

EDGAR

And I'm Eduardo! I'm the one who cleared the code and stopped the hack!

EDUARDO

...So this whole time, you actually were four different people?!?!

VALERIA

Yep!

THE EDS

I have so many questions...how did you know we were here? How were you able to stop the hack??

LUZ

Well, we've been secretly monitoring your team for a while now! Basically ever since you visited Fruit Galaxy!

EDDY

Yep! You see, we were the ones who originally designed and coded the first Unibots...

EDUARDO

But then these guys came in and stole our creation! And didn't even give us credit!!

EDWIN

Hey!! That's not true!! We were just borrowing your—

LEM

Shh. Here, eat some fruit.

EDGAR

Mmmph?!

LEM

Anyways — when Wolf took over the bots, we were planning to do something about it...but you all made the first move!

EDGAR

That's why we decided to support you all instead. When we saw you moving to Wolf Galaxy, we followed just in case — and even brought your spaceship!

EDUARDO

Wow...thank you all so much! I don't know how we'll ever repay you.

LUZ

Repay us? No, you've got it backwards! You helped all of us by restoring our galaxies. We're repaying you!

EDDY

Heh...alright, we're even then. Still, thanks a lot — you helped us win against Wolf.

VALERIA

On that note...you've been pretty quiet, Wolf. How does it feel to lose to "a bunch of kids"?

VALERIA

...

WOLF

Not too surprising, seeing as you don't actually code anything yourself...

EMILIO

You don't seem to treat Cordy and Lem too nicely either...

JAZMIN

Oh would you SHUT IT?! You brats ruined my perfect plan!!

WOLF

It was working, too! People were becoming fans of me against their will...I almost had total control over this universe!!

WOLF

And why shouldn't I have that control?! I'm the best! I deserve it! The rest of you aren't worth a speck of stardust!

WOLF

...Brick, did you get that?

VALERIA

Sure did! Smile for the camera, Wolf — you're on my live stream right now!

BRICK

I'm...what?!?!

WOLF

And we've got tons of viewers, too! Let's see what the audience is saying!

BRICK

Did you hear that?? He really was trying to take over the universe! Good thing we learned to make our own stars!

STAR-MAKER A

Wow, how did I ever like this guy?! He only cares about himself!!

STAR-MAKER B

Looks like our friends stopped his evil plan...I knew I could count on them!

STAR-MAKER C

...And there you have it. The show's over, Wolf.

BRICK

No...no no no you can't!! I'm WOLF! The universe's biggest star!!

WOLF

...Ugh! Would you give it up already?!

CORDY

...C-Cordy?!

WOLF & LEM

You two have been making me do all the work around here! It's no wonder we lost!

CORDY

Especially you, Wolf...you know we look up to you, but you just treat us like bots!

CORDY

N-no...that's not...that's not true! I care!

WOLF

C'mon...let's get out of here before we embarrass ourselves any more.

CORDY

...Well, that's our cue to leave, too. Don't worry — we'll make sure they don't try anything like this again.

EDDY

If you ever need help, give us a call on our Talk-Its! Bye for now!

EDWIN

...So much just happened. But I think we won?

LUZ

WE WON! Group hug, everyone!!

BRICK

Yay!! Now the universe will stay diverse and beautiful!

JAZMIN

And we inspired other people to make their own stars, too!

EMILIO

And made a few friends for life. I'm so proud of all of us!

VALERIA

And look — we've got a ton of stardust now. Each one of us could make a new star for this galaxy!

LUZ

This is Imagination Galaxy, so...what if we each made a star to represent our wish for the future? Don't worry about making it look perfect.

VALERIA

Let's Discuss! (4 mins)

If your wish for the future became a new star, what would it look like? Optionally, draw it on paper!

Okay, let's share! I'll go first — I want to keep doing both art and coding...maybe I'll combine the two somehow!

VALERIA

I want to keep getting better at baking, and make a brand new type of dessert that people will love!

EMILIO

After this, I'm going back to Bakery Galaxy! I gotta test and debug my new recipe ideas!

EMILIO

For me, I really like playing MyBlox, but now I wanna try making my own game!

BRICK

I'm gonna stay here for a bit and help this station get going again! Plus, it'll be a great place to think of ideas for my new game!

BRICK

That's so cool, Brick! I want to keep teaching others...either about gardening, or coding bots, or both!

JAZMIN

I think I'll keep traveling to different stations and see if anyone needs help...maybe make some new friends, too!

JAZMIN

...What's your wish, Luz?

VALERIA

Me? I've got a blank page and a lot of ideas...I'm not sure what to choose yet.

LUZ

You don't need to have everything figured out right now. I'll go wherever you go, Luz. What do you think?

VALERIA

I may not know where we're headed yet, but I know we'll make a great team! I'm excited for whatever comes next...

LUZ

After all, there's a whole universe out there — so let's reach for the stars!

Thanks for playing!

Tinker to understand how BOOM and WEAK work!

  • Touch and push objects
  • Use blocks to make and break rules
  • Pause to read rules
    with the Inspector
  • Ask, "What do I notice?" after trying something

In problem 1, which of Zorro's observations is the most useful?

  1. The lava is orange
  2. There's a lot of snow
  3. There's a rule for ROCK IS DEFEAT
  4. Walking on lava seems scary

Be ready to vote then discuss
why after time is up!

Think about this question while you play...

What does the
yellow computer do?

  1. Lets you message other people
  2. Tracks the amount of stardust
  3. Tells the bots what to do
  4. Plays videos

Be ready to vote then discuss
how you know ​after time is up!

Keep this in mind as you play...

Watch out for rogue bots!
You can't change their code. Read and run the code to figure out what to do.

If you get stuck, you can
rewind with Z and reset with R.

Use   wait for   to make a bot wait
for a specific event, like pressing a button or flipping a switch.

You can also use the Inspector
to read rules and learn more about state blocks!

  • What do I notice and what could be useful?
  • What is the goal?
  • What is blocking me
    from the goal? Why?

To understand a problem,
ask yourself these questions:

Once you understand a problem,
plan a solution by asking yourself these questions:

  • How can I break this problem into smaller steps?
  • What order should I do these steps in?

Work independently
