6,715 PointsWrapping It Up! problems with adding up scores!
I have trouble with adding up scores after collecting coins .After changing the player to "mikethefrog" and try to add life counter. I simply copied the code lines for adding/removing scores for creating life counter but as the result my player can not add or remove any score. Would some one please help me?

231,261 PointsThe score is changing, you just don't see it updated on screen. That's because the variable named "text" which gets assigned on line 121 to the game object for displaying the score gets immediately reassigned on line 122 to a different object (the one for life).
One easy fix would be to use a different new variable to hold the object to display life, and also reference it when updating.
