How to End the Game After Reaching a Certain Score

meridasbow

I'm using Scratch to make a game for class, where you get points for clicking certain sprites and lose points for clicking other sprites. I want to have the game end when the player gets 10 points, but I don't know how.

On a side note, how do I resize a sprite to make it smaller?

Resize a sprite with:

set size to (50) %

Some people will tell you to use a forever block to answer your first question. I personally prefer to make a broadcast immediately following any time where you change the score then run some code to check the score:

change (score) by (1)
broadcast [Check Win v]


when I receive [Check Win v]
if ((score) > (9))
do the right thing to end the game

Thank you so much!! I'll credit you for your help when I finish the game.

So you need to use the end script for this, it would look like this.

if <Score=Winning Score> then
    
stop [all v]
end

But how do you get those red blocks then

Haha they're just a scratchblocks bug. It should look like this:

if <(score) = (winning score)> then
stop [all v]
end

Well you will need to make a varible. And when you get points put change points bby 1. The script is like this.

forever
if <[(points)] = [10]> then
stop [all v]
end
end

and to resize it do this but inside put your size

set size to () %
change size by ()

when green flag clicked
set [score v] to (0)
wait until <<(score) = (10)> or <(Score) > (10)>>
broadcast [game done v] //add a "when I recieve [game done]" in other sprites and below it add scripts for what the sprite should do at the end.

More easy this…
Here's the step if you want only a background saying You win!

when green flag clicked
forever
if <(score) = [10]> then
play sound [youwinsound v]
switch backdrop to [youwinbackdrop v]
stop [all v]
end
end

And for a message

when green flag clicked
forever
if <(score) = [10]> then
say [You win!] for (2) secs
stop [all v]
end
end

Can we please stop necroposting on this topic. The red blocks don't exist - in Scratchblock mode the forum shows things it doesn't understand as if they are red blocks. They're often used in the forum to indicate a place where you add your own code if necessary.

Start your own topic if you have a question - you can still refer to this topic if required.

That's a really easy question to answer:

when I receive [ Ending]
if <(score) = (amount of points needed)> then
broadcast [good ending! ]
