Corona sdk Scoring

Solar2D Lua Language
#1

I’m trying to make a simple corona sdk game but I can’t get it working. The score text just doesn’t change.

 

 

The functions:

 

function points(num)
addPoints()
score = score + num
scoreTxt.text = "score: " … score
scoreTxt:setReferencePoint(display.TopLeftReferencePoint)
end

function addPoints()
num = math.random(100, 350)
end

Some other information:

score = 50;
num = 50;
scoreTxt = display.newText (“Score:”, 0, 0, “Helvetica”, 20)
scoreTxt:setReferencePoint(display.TopLeftReferencePoint)
scoreTxt.x = display.screenOriginX + 10
scoreTxt.y = display.screenOriginX + 5

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

Where in your code are you calling the points() function (which is what causes the scoreTxt object to actually update)?

As above, your function addPoints() doesn’t call points()

Sorry for late reaction but everything works fine now.

Just forgot to call the function :stuck_out_tongue:
