And now… the quiz! Download the provided project, and fix/set up the code so that the two bugs do NOT leave the room. The egg/bug must still move to the edge of the screen The must not move beyond it You need to solve this problem using the conditional statements we saw last lecture It’s ok if they move partially off-screen, then stop It’s ok if you only fix this for the particular direction egg/bug are moving in.
