How do I get "Lives" to increase by 5 anytime "Score" gets to specific numbers.

MurphyD50

Hello, I am currently working on a colour guessing game which has a SCORE and LIVE variable.

The SCORE records the progression of the player after every gain - i.e The SCORE starts at 0 and anytime a player guesses right the SCORE increases by 1.

The LIVE provides the number of chances available after an incorrect guess - i.e There are 5 lives provided by “LIVE” and it reduces by 1 anytime an incorrect guess is made.

Now, here is the deal.

I want LIVE to increase by 5 anytime SCORE gets to a multiple of 10 (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, e.t.c.).

Thanks.

Make a new variable. Set the variable to 10 when the game starts. Wait until score=New var; then change lives by 5, change var by 10. Repeat.

Maybe

when green flag clicked

set [ counter] to [0]
forever
change [ counter] by (1)
if <(☁ score) = ((counter) * (10))> then
change [ ] Livesby (5)
end
if <[counter] = [100]> then
set [ counter] to [0]
end
end

Quite a complicated way but could work

Yea that's way better than my way

NormalMaker

when green flag clicked
forever
wait until <<not <((Score) / (10)) contains (.) :: operators>> and <not<(Score) = (0)>>>
change [Lives v] by (5)
end

IndexErrorException

Here is a simple way that is also the proper way to do it:

when green flag clicked
forever
if <( score) = [chosen number]> then
change [lives v] by (5)
end
end

Fantastic explanation.

Clarity 100%.

Worked perfectly, thanks.

forever
if <not <(Score)< [15]>> then
change [live] by [5] 
end
end
