Idea for constellations activity

[Akshay Kumar]

Hii, Johnny this video contains the game, it has 3 other games as well, out
of which the 2nd and last games are also the ones which i liked alot as a
kid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZLP4nYnKyU
The second game is a memorization game where you would be shown a few
images on the screen first and you would have to press the keys
corresponding to them in the same order later.
The last game is a number game where you have to tell at which number will
the spider exit given that it changes its lane at each T point.

Note: In the video the most basic level is shown, all these get interesting
at later levels.
