end game

Need help. Final project for class. Have a game where two players choose to remove either 1,2, or 4 cubes from the screen. Need to figure out how to end the game when the player with the final choice has 4 or less cubes on the screen and have the message You win pop up.

You could use a number variable which keeps track of how many cubes are in play by setting it's value to the number of starting cubes, then subtracting 1, 2, or 4 as they are taken away. Then, add an event called "when a variable changes" and use the number variable as the variable. Inside the event, check to see if the number variable is 4 or less with an if statement.

Thanks for the suggestion but i am now more lost than I was before. I still can't get the game to end when there are 4 or less cubes left on the screen. I have a world variable as a list for the initial number of cubes say 30. i need the game to end when this list is down to 4 or less and announce which player is the winner.

Have an if method where you drag and drop your number variable into the if slot and select the <= option. Set that number to four. eg: number variable<=4

Now all you have to do is make an event for what happens when that happens. Make sure you put your if statesman in a infinity loop.

if number variable <= 4
you win opacity set to 100%
else
do nothing

No dice still won't work. No message and no end game.

COuld you post you world so I can take a closer look?

world attached.

Okay have gotten somewhere. the end game still is not working completely. Need to get the game to end with the final cube still visible and need to create a function to determine exactly which player is the winner.

Anybody?

So just to clarify, you need the world to say you win or you lose when there are 4 or less cubes left, right?

And using the number variable didn't work? If the number variable properly tracks the number of cubes in play, and if you event checks it to see if it's less than 4, it should work.
