I have a program now where you control one sprite and the other one randomly bounces around and you have to avoid it. How do I count the number of times that your user controlled sprite hits the random one? The object of the game is to avoid the other sprite.

do a "When [name of sprite] hits [color outlining other sprite]" block. Then put under a "Change variable by -1" or +1. depending.

Uh, that doesn't exist. I think you mean this:

when gf clicked
forever
if <touching color [color outlining other sprite]?>
change [whatever the variable is called v] by (1)//or -1 if you want it to go down.

But that would only work if the sprite was outlined by 1 color.

Instead, you could use this:

when gf clicked
forever
if <touching [other sprite's name v]?>
change [whatever the variable is called v] by (1)//or -1 if you want it to go down.

wait until <not <touching [sprite whatever v] //So it doesn't add more than one each time it touches.

Fixed.

So to summarize the posts above me, this script would be inserted at the player controlled sprite:

when gf clicked
forever
if <touching [opponentSprite v] ?>
change [points v] by (-1) //or +1
wait until <not<touching [opponentSprite v] ?>>
end
end

How do I change a variable only when one of my sprites hits another?
