Try It Yourself: Working with a BallDropping State

As you play the game, you might have noticed that as soon as the ball collides with the goal, the game is abruptly paused and the user is shown his or her current game points and prompted to tap the screen to continue. A better experience would be to give the appearance of the ball falling to the middle of the hole. To do this, an additional state needs to be added to the GameState enumeration to represent the transition between Active and BallDropped. This state is the BallDropping state. By completing the following steps, you will implement the code necessary to work with this new state. If you closed Visual Studio, repeat the previous exercise first. Also, be sure to keep Visual Studio open at the end of this exercise because you will use this application later.
