jump boost

MERM

i am using toast kittens doodle jump template for my game, only im adding quite a bit. the one thing im stuck on now is that i want to have a "power up" that when the screen is touched, the doodler gets a 'jet pack' boost that you only get three unless you collect more at a really high level. how should i do this?

Does the player pick up the jump-pack boost? Or touch the screen to get the boost?

I'd make a few game attrbutes to accomplish this.

You could start with a Boolean of BoostMode. If BoostMode is TRUE then actor accelerate 90 degrees at X speed, put a timer on this to limit the player's ability to 'boost.'

That's probably how i'd do it.

what it is is that you start out with 2 boosts to use at anytime. you touch the screen to use one. as you progress, you can pick up more to add to ur "inventory" which then u can use at any time

got it to work thanks!
