bool levelFinished;
int rubies=0;
int rubyReward=7;
int rubyMax=50;
while(rubies<rubyMax){
rubies += rubyReward;
}
levelFinished=true;
To increment a variable, you should use += And is not necessary to explicit int, do it just the first time you declare the variable

13,627 PointsAlso you can do this
rubies = rubies + rubyReward;
is the same as
rubies += rubyReward;
