You could assign the starting time to a variable and when you finish the level get score based on a set value minus the difference between start time and time remaining. ---

How much you wanna bet there were splash blocks underneath those comments Creating a comment is simple actually In blocks, double click and pick the “add comment” option In JavaScript, type // and type away. ---

😆 Thank you!! Just right click on the block and there’s an option to add a comment, after that I moved them to cover up the random block they were attached to. It’s my attempt at recreating Javascript’s inline comments! ---
