Score tally
So I am creating a "jeopardy" like game. What I want to do is, as they answer the questions, whether they get the right or wrong, I want to show their total score progress as the answer the different questions. I have assigned point values similarly to that of the gameshow but are unsure how to show that on the score board. Any help is much appreciate.
Attach your .story file here. Once we can see what you have, somebody will surely offer you some useful advice.
Hi,
Within the text box you want your score to show in, put the following on the end %[variable name]% so for e.g. mine is Score: %score%
this will show the variable counter.
Hope this helps :)
I would attach the project except it has information that can't be published. The best I have is a screen shot to show where I want the tally to show. But I don't know how to make it so. I have the points set on 6 out of 20 questions, ranging from $100 to $500 with negative representation as well for the ones they get the wrong answer. It would tally at the end of the game for points but was hoping to make a running tally to show their progress as they move along.
Hi Allen,
in the box you want the tally to be, put %[variable name]%
e.g. %score%
This will give you the total of the variable. so if you answer 6 questions all winning you £600 then your score will show the total of the variable which is £600.
Hope that makes sense
If you can tally the total points, you can follow the same process as you progress through the course to get the current total. Then as Jay suggests, use the reference function inside a text box or on a shape to show the score.
