7. Aim the Cannon Ball and Set the Initial Gravity and Speed

Similar to aiming the Cannon, we will use the mouse pointer to point the Cannon Ball in the direction we would like to launch. Let's also setup initial Gravity and Speed when the Cannon Ball is in the Cannon to be 1 and 13 respectively.

Steps

1. Aim the Ball and Place it in the Cannon

Use the "point towards mouse-pointer" and "go to _____" block inside of the else side of the "if  ___ then _______ else _______" statement to put the ball inside the cannon and pointed to the Mouse Cursor before it launches.

2. Setup the Variables

Put "set variable to 0" inside of the inside of the else side of the "if  ___ then _______ else _______" statement twice.  Then change it so one says "Gravity" and the other "Velocity".  Finally set gravity to 1 and Speed to 13.
