I was just trying out the old hello purr and it seems image.click is broken. Won't play a sound, and I also trying setting background color when clicking and changing label text. Nothing seems to happen.
HelloPurr should be using a Button, or at least the versions I have do. If you are using an Image, make sure that it's Clickable property is set to true.

Oh whoops, I didn't actually look at the old tutorial. Just did it from memory, and we were actually testing how GenAI gave instructions for simple apps. GenAI didn't mention the clickable property! Sorry about that, and thanks for the quick response. Works if you make the image clickable. Thanks!
I encountered one of those AI generated tutorials at

Ah, interesting. I was actually trying to see how helpful genAI can be with giving you help if you asked it to help you build an app with App Inventor. As a test, I told it to help me build an app with a picture of a cat. When the user clicks on the picture, it should meow. Gemini did give the clickable property as a possible issue to troubleshoot once I told it that it didn't work. ChatGPT was a big fail, telling me to make an imageSprite on a canvas instead. Claude got it right the first try, mentioning that the clickable property needs to be set. Definitely need to let people know that these tools are not necessarily accurate and may give you bad advice or the wrong instructions altogether.
Oh, we do, but the number of users who use AI to generate their app blocks/code increases by the day...
