Hello! As a final project in school, my friends and I are creating an app. I want to make a screen that has a drag-and-drop game in it, but I’m not sure how to do that. Does anyone know how to do this? Thank you in advance! ---

Welcome to Thunkable. You need to provide enough explanation of what you mean by drag-and-drop and also show your work and describe where you are stuck now. ---

I agree that we need more info but you might want to look over this issue I submitted because the “drop” part of “drag and drop” is not easy to code right now. > > > \*\*Is your feature request related to a problem?

The game we’re creating uses the Canvas component. I want the user to be able to drag the sprites on the Canvas component to the sprites of each bin (compost, trash, and recycling). I also want to make the sprites (the ones that I want to hide, at first as shown in the blocks) to show up randomly on the screen one at a time, after the one before it was dragged to a bin. ![theCode](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/6/c/6cf7bdfecf37f8b1f8781554acf7e660980bf214.png) ![oneOfTheStages](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/1/f/1fdfed650e21c3ba635d3522be8c8ff2ac567551.png) ---

Although there is not the obvious `Mouse Up` event but there is a substitute to it which is the `Dropped` event. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/4/6/46f060e33866225c6630b9079aac800b48ca1aa5.png) In practice, it does the same thing. ---
