STEP 11: Any code that we add to make_blocks() will run each time it is called. So each time the interval happens!
- From the toolkit, drag out Random Integer so that it's indented in the make_blocks() function.
- Change my_var to y1 and change the range of random integers from (1, 10) to (-250, -100).
- Go to GRAPHICS and and drag Rectangle inside the function.
- Click Run to see a rectangle created each second! We'll use the random number in the next activity.

# 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 = 8 # 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")
