Help with Platform Jumper Project

Link to the project or level: Game Lab - Code.org
What I expect to happen: Student is expecting Score to show with 2nd background - supposed to change backgrounds at 10 points.
What actually happens: Score only shows when first background is displayed.
What I’ve tried: Tried rearranging code incase it is a sequencing issue, placing showScore function in background2 function commands, and other things. What are we not seeing?

ALSO, student would like to make the player move only when touching a platform rather than basically flying all over the screen at will. Any suggestions for this are appreciated.

Thank you from MC & Mrs. C

i think this should do it Game Lab - Code.org though you will likely need to adjust the platofrm respawn along with other things the gravity is now incremental and checks if the user is on a platform before a jump can be performed by checking for a keypress AND if the player is touching a platform

the second part has two problems, your student doesn’t have the first bg setup (so for now i have defaulted it to a blank white one) and second is that your student was not checking properly with the else statements thus if score >= 30 else statement would trigger bg2 to fire instantly
