TIME BASED SCORE SYSTEM

PUBLISHED 10/05/2023

OBJECTIVE: Create functionality to track the amount of time spent playing the game and translate that to a integer value. Display this value on the user's screen.

private float _time;
private int _score;

[SerializeField]
private TextMeshProUGUI _scoreText;

private void Update()
{
    _time += 1*Time.deltaTime;
    _score = Mathf.RoundToInt(_time);
    _scoreText.SetText("Score: " + _score)'
}

CODE BREAKDOWN

• LINE 1 --> float variable to store the value of time spent playing ==> This value is a decimal number

• LINE 2 --> integer value to store the score value ==> Score value is _time rounded up

• LINE 7-12 --> Function to determine score and display it to the user

  • LINE 9 --> _time is updated to the most current time spent playing each frame

  • LINE 10 --> _time is rounded up each frame and stored within _score

  • LINE 11 --> _score is displayed through the text variable _scoreText
