Yeah, your game is picking up traction and your users love the cute little Dappies! Together with the product team, you have decided to let users collect Dappies in their personal collection. But to achieve this, you have to interact with the smart contracts using transactions.

Hey! Let's give our users the chance to collect Dappies! 🎁

Users will purchase Dappies in our store. For this, they need to enable a collection.

I think we need to transactions for that - could you take a look?

Thanks 🙏 By the way, great work so far!

Housekeeping: collection deletion

After you've mastered the implementation of scripts and transactions, it's now time to wrap things up for this mission with some housekeeping: allowing for deleting a collection.
