Hi @kit,

  1. Create a variable called “clock” and set it to the number of seconds required
  2. Add a repeat x times loop block with the clock variable value as the x parameter.
  3. Inside the loop block, put wait 1 second and change variable by block (1 or -1 depending on whether you want to increase or decrease)
  4. Set the text of your text object (your timer) to the value of your clock variable

you just need to add an “If”.

If clock variable is equal or less than zero, restartthe game.

I did this coding and it works completely fine. But because I added this none of my other coding is working anymore. How am I meant to keep the timer working and also keep my other coding working aswell?

Hi @Winnie_Peasland You have to insert your code into a “Run Separatly” block.

Hope this help!

How do I make a score board so every time an object is clicked the score goes up by one.

Hi @Winnie_Peasland,
you can either make a cospace property (in my opinion, better to use for a scoreboard), or you can make a variable with the count of the score. Here is an example of something similar to a scoreboard, this project has a stopwatch instead and will save on the next scene as well.

CoSpaces Edu :: Speedrunner v1

(all projects are remixable now so you should be able to look at the code)

Hope this helped!

How would the code look like if I was to do a property. Thanks for your help so far though!
