I have gotten my text/score working but it’s static and doesn’t change. I wanted to know how I can change the score to show that an object has hit the bottom of the screen.
Please let me know what I need to do to make this work.
[code]
local scoreApple = display.newText( “”, 301, 19, “Stencil”, 16 )
scoreApple:setTextColor(255, 255, 255)
–Change the value of myText
scoreApple.text = “0”

Just bumping this because I moved it from the wrong forum to the right one (this one). [import]uid: 59140 topic_id: 12058 reply_id: 43972[/import]
You need to first set up a way to know when the object hits the bottom of the screen as you describe. From there, you should call a separate function that changes the .text property of your text object to reflect the new score. [import]uid: 52430 topic_id: 12058 reply_id: 43985[/import]
Hey Jonathan thanks for the response. I am still a little bit new to Corona right now but have been learning a bunch. I’ve got a system for detecting when the object reaches the bottom of the screen but I don’t know how to add a separate function that changes my .text property. Help is greatly appreciated. By the way I downloaded your game (which is a lot of fun) with the source files. So if you know where the code is that would help me, let me know!

You need to have something similar to the line 4 of your code:
scoreApple.text = "0"To update the score you should use
scoreApple.text = newScore
