We have taken many steps to create our crate system. Now we can add our first crate: a crate in the GameScene class that will award health points to the player. Follow these steps to wire up the heart crate:

2. At the bottom of the GameScene didMove function, add the heartCrate to the node tree and call the function that makes it award a heart:
