Makey Makey Controller with Scratch

I really became engrossed in the platform game remix. Growing up with Donkey Kong as being one of my favorite classic Atari arcade games, I instantly wanted to do my best to transform my remix into a challenging game, with sound effects, added sprite obstacles, if-then commands, etc. I was fairly pleased by the fact that I had a difficult time reaching the bowl of cheese puff snacks.

I've embedded the game below and here is the link to "see inside".

As for adding the Makey Makey controller, I wanted to see how easily I could create an impromptu controller out of whatever metal objects I had in my office. That is one of the more impressive characteristics of the Makey Makey board... it is so amazingly easy to set up a simple circuit. So within 5 minutes or less, I had added the butter knife as the right arrow controller and the Allen wrench as the up arrow. My ring served as a convenient object for clipping the alligator grounding clip onto.
