3.08 Add a timer

Now you’re going to add a timer so that the player only has ten seconds to catch as many ghosts as possible.

Create a new variable called ‘time’.

Can you add a timer to your Stage to give your player only 10 seconds to catch ghosts?

Your timer should:

• Start at 10 seconds
• Count down every second

The game should stop when the timer gets to 0.

I need a hint

Ask a friend to test your game. How many points can they score?

If your game is too easy, you can:

• Give the player less time
• Make the ghosts appear less often
• Make the ghosts smaller

Change and test your game a few times until you’re happy with its level of difficulty.
