Create a new local function called gameActivate() and insert gameIsActive = true. Place the function above the moveChar() function:

    local gameActivate = function()
      gameIsActive = true
    end

Initialize all the game actions by making a new function called gameStart():

    local gameStart = function()

Start the physics property and set the gravity for the falling object:

      physics.start( true )
      physics.setGravity( 0, 9.8 )

Activate all the functions instantiated. Add an event listener for the charObject, using the "accelerometer" event for the moveChar() function:

      drawBackground()
      createChar()
      eggTimer()
      hud()
      gameActivate()
      Runtime:addEventListener("accelerometer", moveChar)
    end

Instantiate the gameStart() function and return the gameGroup group:

    gameStart()
    return gameGroup
