Tell the engine that we want to receive input. 2. Store a flag in the current script component instance that tells us if the bunny is moving or not. 3. If user clicked and the bunny is not moving. 4. Send a message to this script component ("#" is shorthand for that) saying "go to" and the clicked position as part of the message data. 5. If a "go to" message is received, set the speech label text and then animate the position of the current game object ("." is shorthand for that) to the position send in the message data. When the animation is done the function `landed()` is called. 6. When `landed()` is called on animation complete, set the label text, then calculate a position on the opposite of the screen and send a message called "go to" to the component "script" in the game object "bunny 1". Supplied with the message is the opposite position as message data. 7. If someone sends us a message called "i'm there" we react by just changing the speech label text. --]]
