Let’s make things more interesting by keeping score.

• To keep the player’s score, you’ll need to create a variable. Click the bright orange Data category in the blocks palette and then click Make a Variable.
• Type score as the name of the variable, make sure that it is available for all sprites, and click OK to create it.
• You’ll also see the score in the top-left of the stage.
• When a new game is started (by clicking the flag), you should set the player’s score to 0. Add this code to the Stage in order to set the score at the start of the game.
• Whenever a ball touches ground, you need to add 1 to the player’s score. Add this code to your Giga sprite.

• Make game even more interesting by adding lives to the game.
• Create one more variable, name it lives, make sure that it is available for all sprites, and click OK to create it.
• when a green flag clicked, set the lives to 3. The number of lives, the game should start with.
• When Giga touches the ball, the lives should decrease by 1.
• To make game even more exciting, You can also add sound effects for loosing lives.
