How to change backdrop after a certain score is reached

BeulaBetty

I am new to Scratch and learning to code the games in the tips section. In the Pong game, I would like to change the backdrop, angle and speed of the ball after the score for catching the ball reaches 10. I have found where the change backdrop block is but I don't know how to link the change to reaching a score of 10. Please help! Thank you

There are multiple ways to do this. I will show two ways here, the first is the one I would use.
Right after you change the score:

if <(score) = [10]> then
switch backdrop to [ v]
end

when green flag clicked
forever
if <(score) = [10]> then
switch backdrop to [ v]
end
end

This issue with the above code is as long as it is level 10 it will continue to switch backdrops to whatever 30 times per second until it no longer = 10.

wait until blocks would be more efficient I think.

wait until <(score) > [9]>
switch backdrop to [backdrop2 v]
wait until <(score) > [19]>
switch backdrop to [backdrop3 v]

To clarify, only the second piece of code will do that (that’s why I would not personally use it).
The first piece of code will only check right after the score is changed, meaning that it will only change the background once.

Thank you!

I have tried what you suggest and it works well, except the backdrop changes at scores 8 and 17, instead of 10 and 20, for some reason

Hi, it is better to create your own topic explaining and sharing your project.

Create your own topic and share the project. There's not much point to your post otherwise.
