The game library #docs
|
|
|
|
The game library supports simple single-player time-based games. The player has a **sprite**, number of **lives** and a **score**. The game has a sprite, number of **levels** and a **countdown clock**. The general goal of a game will be to move the sprite and achieve a top score before time runs out or the number of lives goes to zero.

When a player achieves a goal, you can increase the game score

|
|
|
* add score points to the current score
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```

|
|
|
```
|
|
export function score() : number

|
```
|
|
|
|
### [Countdown](/microbit/functions/game-library/start-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.
|
|
|

### [Game over](/microbit/functions/game-library/game-over)
|
|
|
|
If the `life` reaches zero or the time expires (see countdown), the game enters the **game over** mode. When the game is over, `game->is running` returns false
|
|
|
|
* check if the game still running.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
let running = game.isRunning()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also end the game by calling the `game -> game over` function:
|
|
|

|
|
