Implementing Lives System in Scratch Game

This tutorial covers implementing a lives system in a game, where players start with three lives. The tutorial explains how to set up a variable for lives, decrease lives when certain events occur, and handle scenarios when lives reach zero. It provides two options: restarting the game or ending it with a game over screen. The tutorial also includes designing a game over screen and ensuring all game elements respond correctly to the game over state.
