super noob question

im using the wall breaker to make a ball bounce of a paddle. how to i make a score that goes up every time the ball bounces off the paddle? Im pretty new so i don't know how every thing works.

simo103

create an integer attribute called score

in the paddle put a rule when actor overlaps or collides with the ball then a behavior change attribute score =score+10 or whatever you want.

if you want to display this you need to create an actor called ScoreText and add a display text behavior set to show score and then drag that in your scene.

Note the actor and attribute names can be whatever you want.
