# Dragging - Apple Picker

Screenshot of a game with a tree containing a red apple. The base of the tree has a partially filled crate labeled "apples".

The goal of Apple Picker (opens new window) is to drag as many apples into the basket as possible within the given time limit. After an apple is collected, it moves to a new location on the tree.

# Customize

You can customize various game settings by adding parameters to the end of the URL.

The easiest approach is to use the link generator (opens new window) to create your URL. Customize the parameters on the form, click "Share link", and copy the generated URL to play the game with your settings.

# Build URL manually

You can also manually customize the URL by adding various parameters to the end after a #.

Each setting is specified in the format settingName=settingValue. For example, you could append timeLimit=120 to set the time limit to 120 seconds:

https://mouse.techlit.tools/drag#timeLimit=120

Separate multiple parameters with an &. For example, this URL changes the time limit and shows a "play again" button after the game ends:

https://mouse.techlit.tools/drag#timeLimit=120&showPlayAgain=true

Below is a list of all available parameters. If you leave a parameter off of the URL, the game will use the default value.

Setting name Type Description Default value
timeLimit number Game time limit in seconds 60
newAppleInterval number Adds a new apple each time this number of seconds goes by. Set to 0 for no new apples 0
startingApples number The number of apples on the screen when the game starts 1
showPlayAgain boolean Show the player a "play again" button after the game ends false
useSound boolean Play a sound effect when the player puts an apple in the basket. true
disableTouchScreen boolean Prevent touch screen interactions false
