Distance Based Game

In this guide, I used Default Portrait Game Type and used Distance as the scoring method.

After clicking on create Lets go to the Mind Map by clicking the Menu Editor button on the upper left hand corner then double click the World UI.

Once you have the World UI opened, lets drag a Label to your desired area where you want to see your score.

While your Label is selected, scale it down to your desired size, set function to Score, then select distance and current as seen in the illustration below.

Now lets preview our game to see if it displays the score.

Now let us go back to the Mind Map and double click the Game Over UI.

I dragged 2 labels for the current and best score.

I scaled both labels down no 0.6 and then I click the fonts on the over the upper right hand corner.

In this illustration, I clicked on Main Color, new window will open, Since I want something gray like the game over font , I slide down the marker and clicked okay. Then closed the window.

Now I dragged another label and set the function as Score and amount to Best. to get the best score.

Now I dragged another label and placed it next to score. This time I used Current as the amount.

Here is the preview of the game.

​Point Based Game
​
Below are the options I used to create it.

Let us drag an image that we can use as an action.

Since the image is big, I scaled it to .13.

Then I selected the Action image on the left so I can edit its options.

Now on the options panel, I renamed the image.
Selected Coin as the action type.
Made reward coins to 0.
And reward points to 1.

Now I copied the cupcake and pasted it in the scenes where I want it to appear.

Then I went to the World UI so I can add a label for scoring.

On the world UI, I dragged the label to my desired location.

And selected the option on the side. Let us make sure that the score type is set to Points and amount is Current.
