Required Customizations
Required Customizations
Complete the following customization challenges to improve your app:
Challenge #1: Personalize the game by adding your own image for both the background and the “mole” or the "Android."
Challenge #2: Keep score. Add a label (“ScoreLabel”) to the user interface and use what you have learned about incrementing values to increase the score when the Android is touched. (Hint: You can create a variable, or use the text property of the label component.)
Challenge #3: Timer. Add a Label that Counts down from 20. The game should stop when the countdown reaches 0. (Hint: You can use the same clock component to activate the countdown).
Challenge #4: Re-set Button. Add a Button that re-sets the Score to 0 and the Timer to 20.
Challenge #5: Android Squash. When user whacks the android, make the android squash. (Hint: When sprite.touchdown activated, set picture of sprite to a new picture image).

Challenge #6: Set a winning score: Try adding in a winning score feature that congratulates the user when they reach a certain score. When the player reaches a certain score, you could use a TextToSpeech component and have it say something or use the Player to play a sound.
Challenge #7: Change the speed of the mole when the player reaches a certain score. (Hint: Use a conditional and the set Clock1.TimerInterval block.)
Challenge #8: Add an obstacle: Add a second ImageSprite with a picture of something that the user should not hit, such as a flower. If the user touches it, penalize her by reducing his score or ending the game.
Challenge #9: Add levels: When the user hits the "mole" a certain number of times, show the user that the level has changed.
