input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
2016-03-26 00:47:20 +01:00
game.addScore(1)
})
game.startCountdown(10000)
```
### Score
When a player achieves a goal, you can increase the game score
* add score points to the current score
```
export function addScore(points: number)
```
* set the current score to a particular value.
```
export function setScore(value: number)
```
* get the current score value
```
export function score() : number
```
### Countdown
If your game has a time limit, you can start a countdown in which case `game->current time` returns the remaining time.
* start a countdown with the maximum duration of the game in milliseconds.
```
export function startCountdown(ms: number)
```
