• In the Sprites category, drag "set mySprite to sprite of kind Player" to the on start block.
• Click the gray box to draw a basket or choose an image from the gallery.

Step 2: Create Falling Apples

In Game Update Every 1000ms, add:

• "set apple to sprite of kind Food" → Draw or choose an apple sprite.
• "set apple position to pick random X (10 to 150), Y = 0" (randomize falling start)
