STEP 16: The dino stopped but the game keeps going! We can fix that by turning off the interval event.
- Go to and drag out Disable Interval so that it's indented inside the collision event.
- Go to LOGIC and . Drag String Variable onto the next line in the collision event.
- Change my_var to message and the text from "This is a string" to "GAME OVER. YOU COLLECTED "
- Did you include a space at the end of that string? Click Run and see how far you can go!

# Program variables (DON'T DELETE!!!)

gravity = 8 # controls how fast the sprite falls
flappiness = 5 # controls how much the sprite moves up
# Store and display score
