Scoring Issues in Game Lab

CS Discoveries Coding and Debugging Help

The following information is from one of my 7th grade students working on their Game Project from Unit 3 of CS Discoveries using Game Lab.

What I expect to happen: for the scoreboard to work properly, and for each time the cow jumps over the flower a point is added, and for every time the cow hits a flower one point is deducted.
What actually happens: the cow hits a flower, but nothing happens.
**What I’ve tried:**tried moving some lines of code, and tried moving the score box, and adding more lines.

@thelma.johnson ,

On this one, score is actually a sprite and not a number, so you can’t add a number to a sprite.

Maybe they meant for there to be a score (a number) and a scoreboard (where the number is displayed…)

score (the number) should just be declared as a variable, probably equal to zero.

Have them look at that and don’t hesitate to get back to us if they still run into any issues.
