Im making an endless runner game and I want the player’s speed to increase every time his score increases by 10. How can I do this?

- Introduce some difficulty scaling variable in scope high enough
- Raise this variable every 10 points of score using the same method that shows score in UI
- Apply this variable to whatever aspect of the game You need, like mobs speed = speed * this variable, or for x in range(this variable) spawn mobs every minute and so on
Thanks, but how can I check whenever the score is increased by 10? I was thinking something like this:
*everytime score is increased by 10:*
playerSpeed += 1
How would I change this into actual code?

You were making endless runner, so surely You were following tutorial from documentation. There is a method that counts the score, isn’t there ? I thought there was setget function described ? I mean a place in your code when new points are added to old points ? In this same place You can check current score and apply calculations to it, for example :
on mob_killed():
score += 10
difficulty =ceil(score/10)
This calculation will result in ceiled integer of division score by 10, in other words, it will be 1 higher every 10 score. You can also make some maxscore variable, check if score is higher than maxscore, and if it is - raise the difficulty level by one and raise maxscore by chosen amount.
And in your movement code, calculate speed with difficulty however You like:
speed += difficulty
speed *= (1 + difficulty)/100
speed = speed.pow(difficulty)

Ok so I got it working now. I wasn’t initially using setget but after you mentioned it I looked it up and decided to use it. Thank you!
