Casey Runner

Meet "Casey Runner". Casey can run backwards or forwards, and can also face left (the negative direction) or right (positive).

Knowing that ++ or −− make a positive, and +− or −+ make a negative (read How to Add and Subtract Positive and Negative Numbers) see if you can help Casey reach the finish line.

See who wins!
