Hi, I'm up to date with the game now and I've managed to increment the score as shown in the video.
But I then got a bit daring and decided to try and change the text based on the incremented score. It's age old problem, "1 flies" doesn't make all that much much sense does it?
Here's the script I used to try and fix it.
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
using System.Collections;
public class ScoreCounter : MonoBehaviour {
public static int score;
private Text scoreCounterText;
//Text is a special class provided by Unit not built into c#
void Start() {
score = 0;
scoreCounterText = GetComponent<Text> ();
}
void Update() {
//scoreCounterText.text = score + " Flies";
if (score == 1) {
scoreCounterText.text = score + " Fly";
} else {
scoreCounterText.text = score + " Flies";
}
}
}
i keep getting an error though and can't play the game. Any idea why? :)

Treehouse Moderator 91,253 PointsYes I just tested it just now. Must have been a bug creeped in to Unity that was solved by simply restarting Unity :-)
