How to Create a MOBILE APP in Thunkable: Calculator with Mario Brothers Skin and Sound Effect

"There's an app for that!" - Let's create your own MOBILE APP 📱! In this tutorial, we will show you how to start building a "Mario-themed Calculator" mobile app in less than 10 minutes. This calculator 🧮 is built with a screen with standard calculator buttons: digit 0 to 9, +/- (Plus/Negative), . (decimal point), arithmetic operators ÷/×/-/+ (division/multiplication/minus/plus), and = (equal).

The calculator is special in a way that it is skinned with Mario-themed colors - red, blue, and yellow. Mario coin sound effect is added and used on button clicks. For demo purpose, only digit 1-3, plus, and equal buttons are wired up with logic.
