    You could make an invisible actor that spawns the falling actor by some random timer. Then you could use scene gravity and an actor that you control with the accelerometer and not affected by gravity. Then you can make a rule to count the score everytime the spawned actor collides with the "receiver". I think that this is the general idea.

    cool, now you can make random movement to the spawner actor and also you can attach a behavior to the catcher to control it by touch/mouse or keyboard.

    completed upto catching an object, how to add score option in it? e.g. every catched objects should be counted as a single point...

    you mean something else?

    Open the catcher actor and check the behaviors, at the end you will find a DISPLAY TEXT behavior, change the color of text to red or something and check that everytime the spawned actors touch the catcher it adds 1 point. I checked it and it is working fine, maybe it is the white color i used for the text, let me know.
