So I have to make a simple game for my summer homework, basically I'm making a game where you as a bat have to catch blue dots to gain score, but the problem is that this does not work, here's a screenshot

The script needs to be inside a forever loop with a when green flag clicked to start it or you could try putting it inside your existing forever loop.

You need a forever loop:

forever // This is in the control tab
 if < touching color [#0000FF] >
  change [Score v] by (1)
 end
end

Also you don't need an

stop script

on the final of the

when [arrow v] key pressed
change y by (1)
or
change x by (1)

fix:

when gf clicked
forever
forever
if <touching [Spirte2 v]?>

forever
if <touching [Spirte2 v]?>

That would just slow it down.

Try this:

when gf clicked
forever
if <touching [Dot v]>
change [Score v] by (1)

beacuse

when gf clicked
forever
if <touching color [#58A571]> then
turn right (15) degrees
end

i aslo had a touble with a game i made i made it so that if my cat touchs red then it shrinks

if <> then
say [MEOW] for (2) secs
set size to (10) %    
end

sorry

if <touching color [#f0f]?> then
    
set size to (10) %

end
    
end

Hey you need to add wait something like 0.0001 so it can register that it touches

I had a similar problem with a project. It worked on one of the sprites, but not the other. When I put the forever block around it, as suggested above, it worked just fine on the second one. Can anyone explain why this is needed?

There's two issues here.
1) the code is never being ran. Every block of code needs a "when " block right above it. In this case, you'll probably want this one

when green flag clicked

Otherwise, the code will never run unless you run it directly by clicking it.
2) Once it is ran, it stops. It needs to be in a loop

when green flag clicked
if (touching [... v] ?) then // this check is done once, then the script stops.
code
end

when green flag clicked
forever
if (touching [... v] ?) then // this check is done constantly, and runs the code whenever it's true
code
end
end

And this works, however, I have a little bit of advice to make the code run better. Doing it this way will have the code constantly checking, over and over and over, and if you ever decide to make a big game with a lot of scripts, these add up. I suggest trying this.

when green flag clicked
forever
wait until <touching [... v] ?>
code
wait until <not <touching [... v] ?>>
end

What this does is it waits patiently until it's touching the other sprite, then it runs the code, then it waits patiently until it's no longer touching the sprite. After that, the process repeats. In your case, where you're counting up a score, this is probably what you want.
