Please Help Making A Coin Counting Game
Hi,
I have a project to do at the moment. I am new to Scratch
For it I am trying to make a game to help little children practice coin values.
I am finding it very hard!!
What I need help with is to know if it is possible to....
1) If the Piggy Bank is one sprite and the coin is another. How can the coin recognise is is been put inside the piggy bank?
I'm trying to set my project so that there will be a challenge at each scene. e.g: put 3 cent in the piggy bank and player has to pick the right coin.
2) Put a counter on top that gives them a point every time they get a coin in the bank.
Please help I'm lost!!

Re: Please Help Making A Coin Counting Game
1) Yes if you use the touch block
2)you need variables to count
Could you upload your project you have now? This would help me, to help you because I would know what you know and what you have yet.
I like the Idea so I realy want to help 
Check out my new game

Re: Please Help Making A Coin Counting Game
Thanks so much Tohmis, I am really clueless at this stage. Your help would be much appreciated.
I just have the idea.
All I really have at the moment is rough sprites and I was trying to make sure I could definitely use them. (A piggy bank and cent coin!)
I will just try and put introduction and a bit of background to the project on it and then upload it tonight or tomorrow morning so you can have a look at it.
I will message you then.
Again, I really appreciate your help.

Yes, I do. You're using the right idea, except you're going to keep on adding points, and more points, after you get that first coin in. Before I move on and fix it, do you want points counted for incorrect coins?
As for the bunch of questions, it's okay. It just shows that you're curious, which is always something nice.

Re: Please Help Making A Coin Counting Game
Thanks to both of you.
No I don't want the points counted for the wrong answer, just that it pops back into it's previous place. So one point for getting it right. I hope then to make more questions for the next scene

Okay, so my original guess was correct. Well, I've decided to edit your project a tiny bit and fix some issues. If you ever want to look, it's here:
