We have been looking around and don’t seem to find the answer. kaitie_o_bryan April 4, 2019, 1:05am 2 Hi @geri_hamada, There are a few different ways to use a timer - and countless ways to “keep a score”. If you have a specific problem you are working on, perhaps I can help point you in the right direction, but if you just need more info, I suggest checking out this post: How to design and code a Timer in AppLab? That should give you some ideas! In particular, I always like the examples! KT geri_hamada April 4, 2019, 7:36pm 3 Okay . . .thanks for the information . . . but now my students are asking for help in sprite lab to make a timer or keep score. Is that possible? bhatnagars April 4, 2019, 8:11pm 5 I was not able to find any documentation to create a timer in Sprite Lab. But, you can do it in AppLab and GameLab. Here is a post on the forum that explains how to make a timer in GameLab. @Katie has already shared a link for AppLab. geri_hamada April 5, 2019, 6:47pm 6 Too bad!! My students are working with the sprite lab and were hoping to get some help. They have also tried looking on the internet and there seems to be nothing. Well, if you think of something . . . any suggestion would be appreciated! frank_w_lee April 6, 2019, 3:39am 7 I’m not familiar with all the mechanics of sprite lab, but you can apply the basic principles of score keeping from the Game Lab lessons in CS Discoveries. Here’s an example I made: https://studio.code.org/projects/spritelab/1_87sl9JGaSOZFf0p9rDLCejzyS-YfnUgjrhFhDCSRA Click the sprite to increase the score. I wasn’t sure how to display the numbers, so all I could find was a “title” block. It also seems to register a click as continuously repeating clicks, so not the behavior I was going for. Nonetheless, there’s the skeleton of a scorekeeping algorithm which is to initiate a variable with a value of 0, then on some event, increase the value of that variable by some number. As for timing, there does not appear to be any functions specifically for timing. The only possible chance might be to do something hack-y like have something loop thousands of times in order to create a pause or use some other action that takes a finite amount of time (like a sprite movement maybe). 1 Like richard.knuckey May 5, 2020, 12:41am 8 Hi @kaitie_o_bryan Are you able to point me at the most simple of simple tutorials for creating a score on applab? mwood May 5, 2020, 3:03pm 9 @richard.knuckey, Here’s a quick and easy tutorial on keeping score in a simple counter game from the CSP curriculum. https://studio.code.org/s/csp5-2019/stage/5/puzzle/1 Mike richard.knuckey May 5, 2020, 10:34pm 10 Thanks again Mike. But that link just points to the sign in page (?) mwood May 5, 2020, 11:05pm 11 @richard.knuckey, you may have to sign in to access it as it is part of the CSP course, however I edited my original post so the entire URL is there … (may not be clickable, but you should be able to copy and paste). And here it is again … https://studio.code.org/s/csp5-2019/stage/5/puzzle/1 thanks, Mike 1 Like richard.knuckey September 24, 2020, 1:26am 12 Hi again… I’ve got a student wanting a button to fade in onto the home screen on a applab project. The button will then activate the second screen. I suspect it’s something to do with the Set Timeout control… Any help appreciated! Here is the project Check out what I made I wrote the code myself with Code.org jdonwells September 24, 2020, 2:01pm 13 Check out what I made I wrote the code myself with Code.org 1 Like hbm September 7, 2022, 7:47pm 14 For Sprite Labe, it’s actually quite simple. You will want to make a sprite with a behavior, you build yourself. Timer - Sprite Lab - Code.org 1 Like hamiltondfp December 10, 2022, 2:24am 15 I couldn’t find an answer to this. But here is how to build a timer in Sprite Lab. Just add some logic to be processed on each completion and then add the “reset timer” block (found in the World category) at the end. colemb2 October 23, 2024, 4:22pm 16 You can’t directly build a timer, but you can track the time using the Title or the Subtitle on every button click. By adding a simple logic, you update Time and it will display time. Doesn’t work if you aren’t playing, but it will update as soon as you start again. image910×335 48.2 KB the logic is- if Time(the variable) is less than the app’s time counter, update Time and then display it. colemb2 October 23, 2024, 5:03pm 17 A second way that will update automatically is to create an invisible sprite, then give it a looping behavior. Change the Loop to only be 50 pixels in distance, and then edit the behavior to update and display time. image530×818 117 KB Related topics Topic Replies Views Activity How to design and code a Timer in AppLab?
