I created a game where you move a monkey around the bottom of the screen and try to catch faling bananas. I created a variable called "Score" and set it to increase whenever the monkey and bananas collided. How can I make the bananas fall faster when, for example, "Score>10"? Everything I tried hasn't really worked.

In the number section of blocks on scratch there is a when blank = blank, try putting the variable score in one blank space and 10 in the other.

I tried that, but I had to do __>__ because i want it to work above that score as well.

im figuring it out, wait a second

ok, i got it. here are the scripts you need for the bannana:
<when green flag clicked>
<forever>
<set x to( <pick random( -238 )to( 238
<point in direction( 180
<glide( <{ speed }> )secs to x sad <x position> )y sad -181
<set y to( 178
<end>

<when green flag clicked>
<set{ speed }to( 5
<wait until> <( <{ score }> <>> 10 )>
<change{ speed }by( -1
<wait until> <( <{ score }> <>> 20 )>
<change{ speed }by( -1
<wait until> <( <{ score }> <>> 30 )>
<change{ speed }by( -1
<wait until> <( <{ score }> <>> 40 )>
<change{ speed }by( -1
<wait until> <( <{ score }> <>> 50 )>
<say[ you win ]for( 1 )secs>

Put a variable (speed) into your code as the movement distance, as above.

But save yourself a lot of code and use:

Set speed = score / 100

(or whatever divisor is approproate to the points you give out)

that... is a good idea. why didnt i think of that, instead of using that huge script above?

Thanks everyone for replying! I got it now

How can I increase the difficulty based on the score?
