Having trouble?
Look at the script you wrote before and add three new blocks:
when flag clicked
set [score v] to (0) // add this block
forever
go to x (pick random (-240) to (240)) y (180)
repeat until <touching [catcher v]>
change y by (-5)
end
change [score v] by (1) // add this block
start sound [pop v]// add this block
