Help- Scoring with UILabel

[mitchsamuels]

I am so confused. I have tried everything I can think of.

Can someone help me out with scoring,

I want it so every time someone touches the screen, a UILabel (player_Score) increases by one number every touch.
Could someone post the code?

Sorry, I am new to Xcode and everything.

You could use this.

-(void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event 
{
        //called whenever someone touches screen
	UITouch *touch = [[event allTouches] anyObject];
        

        //setup an int score in .h and use it like this
        score += 1;

       //setup a label and string that the label displays
       NSString *string = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"%d", score];
       // make a label called label
       label.text = string;
       [string release];
       
}

Hope this helps

or more simply

player_score++;

I when its only incrementing by the number one I try to stick with the increment operator, (++) when its a larger number I will use the +=.

Thank you! Just one question, when I touch it, it goes up by 4, not 1. Is that part of the code that you gave me, or is it something in mine?

did you try changing

 score += 1;

to

 score++;

Yeah. I looked through all the code, nothing to do with a 4. I have also tried:

 score += 0.25;

But it had an error and said "Invalid operands to binary +"

That exact thing happened to me- I had to start my entire project again () i mean the entire thing going up by 4 not one, then a few projects after, it started going up by like 56 IT'S CRAZY

Going up by 4 usually means you accidentally defined score as a pointer.
