STEP 5: This game is a competition with gravity! Let's add gravity and controls to work against the gravity.
An event sets up code that runs each time a signal is received. In this case, we'll use a signal from your keyboard.
- From , drag out Set Gravity. Change 10 to the variable gravity. What value does it hold?
- Go to the toolkit and drag out Space Bar. Change 5 in .jump() to the variable flappiness.
- This event runs code every time you press the spacebar on your keyboard. Click Run and try it out!

# Program variables (DON'T DELETE!!!)
block_speed = -6 # controls how fast the pipes move across the stage
block_gap = 200 # controls the space between the top and bottom of each pipe
block_interval = 1 # controls how often a new pipe appears
gravity = 10 # controls how fast the sprite falls
flappiness = 5 # controls how much the sprite moves up
# Store and display score
score = 0
score_text = codesters.Text("Score: " + str(score), 100, 200, "yellow")
