Scoring System

Score

The endless jumper is now progressively harder, but has no scoring system yet.

Tracking how high the player climbs, and trying to beat a previous record, is a core part of endless jumper games.

Let's add this inside the GameManager script.

Step 1: Create a Score Variable

We want a whole number score:

int score = 0;

It starts at 0.

We also need access to the player's height:

public Transform playerTransform;

Assign this in the Inspector.

Step 2: Update the Score

Inside Update(), we check each frame whether the player has climbed higher than the current score.

Pseudocode:

// If player Y position > score
// Update score

Code:

if(playerTransform.position.y > score)
{
score = (int)playerTransform.position.y;
print("score" + score * 10);
}

Key points:

• the player's Y position is a float;
• we cast it to an int using (int);
• we multiply by 10 when printing to make the score look bigger (this does not change the stored value).

Step 3: Add a High Score

We want a high score that:

• survives scene reloads;
• persists after closing the game.

We use PlayerPrefs:

if (score > PlayerPrefs.GetInt("Highscore"))
{
PlayerPrefs.SetInt("Highscore", score);
print("Highscore" + PlayerPrefs.GetInt("Highscore") * 10);
}

• "Highscore" is the save key;
• GetInt() retrieves the saved value;
• SetInt() stores a new one.

Now we have

• a live climbing score;
• a persistent high score;
• replay motivation.

Later, we'll display this properly using Unity's UI system.
