The score does not increase when the flappy bird goes through the pipes. The first set of code is for the world class the second is for the actor class "Score." Any thoughts on this problem would be greatly appreciated.

The Score class seems to be (or ... is) functional and the Score object is referenced properly. So, the problem must be in the logic of your act method.

Do you mean the act method in the World class or the Actor class?

You only show one act method above. Alone, line 56 and 57 would show the Score object working.

This code works just fine for this game and the act method is exactly the same.

I see the score in the original game it starts out as 0 but never increases.

Are you saying you do not see the Score object at all in your game?

The second game works just fine but it is the first game where you see the Score object but it does not increase when the Flappy Bird goes between the pipes.

Does it increase at all ... ever?

No the first one does not. The second one works. I just don't see what is getting in the way of seeing the code

Maybe you can upload the scenario with the Publish source code check box checks so it can be experimented with.

The problem, as I believe was pointed out in a comment on the scenario, is that you zero the pipeCounter field in your createPipes method. So, it will never gain a value as high as that of FIRST_PIPE.

Dan - you were correct. My student found the if statement in the createPipes method. Once the if statement was commented out the program worked.
There are more replies on the next page.
