I think you should be able to spam the A button instead of having to deal with the pop up of 25 to roll again. Otherwise, great game! ---

I don’t know how to do that. When I tried it, the coin froze on top of the pole and it wouldn’t work for some reason. Is there any code there is to spam? ---

> [@UnsignedArduino](#): > > I think you should be able to spam the A button… Sorry if I confused you, but I meant that I should be able to press the A button really fast that would allow more than 1 coin on screen at a time. ---

Great idea, kept trying for 5 minutes and finally got a 100 slot 😁 😁 😁 While trying found a bug that if A is pressed while the first coin is still in the air, game will be over. (Hey, I still got hope 🤣) ![Screen-Recording-2020-07-09-at-2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/0/0beadfde94f80452e6a5bb3df411f83a99a6209a.gif) ---

Thats because if you have lower than 25 points, you lose. I made you automatically lose because you had lower than 25 points and you wanted another ball ---

you need 25 points for another ball to come down ---

Oh, is it that when there are not enough points for another coin, the game’s over? That’s reasonable. But from the player’s view, there’s still some hope(coin) in the air, what if it falls into a 100 😁 It seems a little bit more reasonable that when there are not enough points for another coin AND no running coins in the air, the game’s over. Using arrays instructions can get the current number of running coins in the game, as the following code snippet shows the number of coins when B is pressed. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/2/2101df1e6124c297f73db28fd7a5f9da8b8654e6.png) And if one more step forward, to make the game over automatically instead of triggered by player pressing A, the decision making logic can go to: a) an event that hints the game might be over b) a periodically check Again, just some thoughts from a player’s view. 🙂 ---

Hmmm, looks like the bug is somewhat related to multiple coins. During testing, I didn’t reproduce it with one running coin while reproduced several times with 2 and more coins. Maybe have a look into the bouncing code? Also, `mySprite` is a variable that can store ONLY ONE item, imaging it like a bowl that can only hold one item, setting it multiple times results in having the LAST item in the bowl. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/d/d23ecbf6cc6da3613315862495cdde9657b8b737.png) While `sprite` in event callback is an event variable holding the exact sprite in the event, like `sprite` in the following code is holding the sprite that is hitting the wall. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/8/8937dd14a5fdd428d45338f3cadf3c1a8282043d.png)
