STEP 7: Each time the interval event runs, we get a point. That means we need score to increase!
To change an existing variable inside a function or event, we need to make the variable global.
- No more spinning please! Find this code in the interval event and delete it: sprite.turn_left(15)
- Go to the LOGIC tab and toolkit. Drag Global Variable out so that it is indented inside the event.
- Drag Add Value onto the next line. Make sure it's also indented! Change all my_var variables to score.
To navigate the page using the TAB key, first press ESC to exit the code editor.
# Program variables (DON'T DELETE!!!)
block_speed = -6 # controls how fast the pipes move across the stage
block_gap = 200 # controls the space between the top and bottom of each pipe
block_interval = 1 # controls how often a new pipe appears
gravity = 8 # controls how fast the sprite falls
flappiness = 5 # controls how much the sprite moves up
# Store and display score
score = 0
score_text = codesters.Text("Score: " + str(score), 100, 200, "yellow")
