Time for action – starting the game

Right now, we need to set the offscreen position for the panda and have it transition to its starting launch location, so the user can interact with it.

1. After adding the variables, create a new local function called startNewRound() and add an if statement to initiate the panda object into the scene:

   local startNewRound = function()
     if panda then

2. Add a new local function called activateRound() within startNewRound(). Set the starting position of the panda display object on screen and add ground:toFront(), so that the ground appears in front of the panda character:

     local activateRound = function()
   
       waitingForNewRound = false
   
       if restartTimer then
         timer.cancel( restartTimer )
       end
   
       ground:toFront()
       panda.x = 240
       panda.y = 300
       panda.rotation = 0
       panda.isVisible = true

3. Create another local function called pandaLoaded(). Set gameIsActive to true and set the panda object's air and hit properties to false. Add panda:toFront...
