Timers and Scoring help!

so i wrote this with some help

local physics = require("physics")  
physics.start()  
  
physics.setGravity( 0, 10 )  
  
--system.actvate( "multitouch" )  
  
--physics.setDrawMode("debug")  
  
--media.playSound( "13 300 Violin Orchestra.m4a" )  
--local stopAfter200Seconds = function()  
 --media.stopSound()  
--end  
  
--timer.performWithDelay( 10000, stopAfter200Seconds )  
  
  
  
  
display.setStatusBar( display.HiddenStatusBar )  
  
local background = display.newImage("nuclear\_iphone\_wallpapers.png")  
  
local can = display.newImage("can.png")  
can.x = display.contentWidth/2  
physics.addBody(can, { bounce = 0.3, friction = 1.0 })  
  
local can2 = display.newImage("can.png")  
can2.x = can.x - 105  
physics.addBody(can2, { bounce = 0.3, friction = 1.0 })  
  
local can3 = display.newImage("can.png")  
can3.x = can.x +105  
physics.addBody(can3, { bounce = 0.3, friction = 1.0 })  
  
local leftWall = display.newRect(0, 0, 1, display.contentHeight )  
local rightWall = display.newRect(display.contentWidth, 0, 1, display.contentHeight )  
local ceiling = display.newRect(0, 0, display.contentWidth, 1 )  
  
physics.addBody(leftWall, "static", { bounce = 0.1} )  
physics.addBody(rightWall, "static", { bounce = 0.1} )  
physics.addBody(ceiling, "static", { bounce = 0.1} )  
  
local floor = display.newImage("floor.png")  
floor.y = display.contentHeight - floor.stageHeight/2  
physics.addBody(floor, "static", { bounce = 0.2, friction = 1.0})  
  
function moveCan(event)  
 local can = event.target  
 can:applyLinearImpulse( 0, -0.1, event.x, event.y )  
  
end  
  
--local resutButton = display.newImage("Black\_Button1.png", 4, 10)  
  
can:addEventListener("touch" , moveCan)  
can2:addEventListener("touch" , moveCan)  
can3:addEventListener("touch" , moveCan)  
  
resetButton:addEventListener("touch", setup)  
  

i would like to add a score for every time you touch one of the cans and also
i would like to add a timer that countdowns and stops when one of the cans hits the floor
also if there was a way to add some sort of a splash screen that would be nice
