How to make a point counter system?

Help with Snap!
1

I want to make a point system(For example something that will count how many times that the player sprite has touched the coin sprite) but don't know how to make one. A little help?

Thanks,

Vanny

do you want it to be customised? :thinking:

Well, at this point I just need help on doing something that will count how many times that the player sprite has touched the coin sprite, I don't really need it to be customized.

[scratchblocks]
when <touching [coin v]> :: control hat //in the player sprite
change [points v] by (1)
wait until <not <touching [coin v]>>
[/scratchblocks]

How do you get the "points" option in the "Change ____ by __" block?

Make the variable!

I don't know how to make variables, or even other blocks.

How to make:

  • Variables
    • Global
      • Go to the Variables palette
      • Click Make a variable
      • Enter the name of the variable (e.g. points)
      • Click OK
    • Sprite-local
      • Go to the Variables palette
      • Click Make a variable
      • Enter the name of the variable (e.g. points)
      • Click for this sprite only
      • Click OK
    • Script-local
      • Go to the Variables palette
      • Drag a script variables block
      • Click the arrows to add or remove script variables
      • Click the variables at the top to change their names
      • Alternate method: create a block with an upvar (see below)
  • Blocks
    • Right-click the editor, then click make a block...
    • Or: go to any palette and click Make a block
    • Select which palette to put the block in
    • Type the text for the block labels
    • Select which type of block to make: Command, Reporter, or Predicate
    • To make it sprite-local, click for this sprite only
    • Drag blocks and attach them to the hat in the block editor to build the definition of the block
    • Use the plus signs in the block prototype in the hat to add text labels and inputs
    • Click an existing text label or input variable to change it
    • When making or editing an input, click the right-pointing-triangle to see a big menu of types
    • Right-click for more options

I am a "her" not a "him". I just decided to say this in case if you need that for later.

I am so sorry for being rude, I don’t mean to do that :neutral_face:

What I do to avoid assuming genders is type "They" or "them" instead.

Its okay btw.

13

Btw you should read the snap manual :grin: it will help you learn Snap blocks

14

yeah, it's not like everybody can tell what gender someone is by looking at their username.

can you access the reference manual?

17

Yeah, I never really bothered reading it though because I code in Scratch and since Snap! is kinda like Scratch I thought I wouldn't need it. Pls don't hate me.

oh, don't worry, I never read it either. I do learn things quickly, but mostly from the forum (and me testing things out). There's helpful stuff in the manual.

I read the first few pages, and then I was like "This is too long, my eyes hurt" so I stopped reading it. lol

I just don't like to read about how to code, I like figuring it out myself.
