Since this is a tutorial, we will explain the way to play our game. But, if you were starting from scratch to create your own game, you would want to make sure that you've put in the time, effort, and energy to figure out what you want it to do and what you want it to look like. We outlined the design process for mobile app creation in Chapter 1, Unleashing Creativity with MIT App Inventor 2. This may be a good time to review it.
