You can use a simple text object and initialy set text to 0,

local score = 0
local myText = display.newText(score, 0, 0, native.systemFont, 16)
myText:setTextColor(255, 255, 255)

Then on your hit function:

score = score + 1
myText.text = score

Modified code from above. (Thanks for posting that, good answer!)

[lua]local score = 0
local myText = display.newText(score, 0, 0, native.systemFont, 16)
myText:setTextColor(255, 255, 255)

score = score + 1
myText.text = "score: "…score[/lua]

Thanks this helped a lot. Also how to make it display highscore on screen and update it while playing? [import]uid: 189039 topic_id: 32270 reply_id: 128629[/import]

Have variable for highscore.
If score > highscore then
highscore = score
–update highscore text here
end

Easy. [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 32270 reply_id: 128691[/import]
