Is there a way to get the background color of the grass to switch from green to red during the running of the program? How would a student code this? So in other words, he wants it to start green and then change to red after so many seconds.
One way to do it would be to declare a variable at the beginning such as grassColor = “green” and then update the variable inside the draw loop. Here’s an example, although it isn’t so aesthetically pleasing … lol. https://studio.code.org/projects/gamelab/UaR4PT_BEeQpWet1AUURavZfeTLwlW2sEHTtb8ArIBI
I should say the first one changes after the sun leaves the screen … you could also use a time effect instead of the event of the sun leaving the screen. This version has a 3 second timer. https://studio.code.org/projects/gamelab/V4uxb2dWZHAhMjI1hmHqkhMPIxuMKA6NETpgv71Q9wA
Yeah, piggybacking on @mwood I think the answer is to use World.seconds which is a variable set to the number of seconds that have elapsed since the run button was hit.
if(World.seconds > 10){
//set the colors you want
}
