Part 7: Winning and saving

Steps 26 to 30. A hidden “You Win!” message that appears when the last brick goes, then play the whole game, save it, and share it.

Untitled — NutHouse

What this part teaches

Two new ideas. First, an object can start hidden and be shown by a rule. Second, NutHouse can count copies: “no bricks left” is a condition. Then the last three steps are about being finished: play from the start, save a .nuthouse file, share it.

Step 26: A message for winners

1. In the Level tab, press + Add object, New, then Text.
2. In its settings on the right, change Words to You Win!.
3. Untick Visible when the level starts. The text stays hidden until a rule shows it.

Step 27: Winning!

1. Press + New event, click Brick, then Compare the number of these objects. Pick = equal to and 0. Press Add.
2. Under your Text choose Show.
3. Under Ball choose Stop.

Step 28: Play your game!

Press ▶▶ Play game and play Chocobreak from start to finish. Can you win? Play game starts from level 1 with score and lives reset, which is how a player will see it.

Step 29: Save it

Press ⌘S, or the Save button, and give your game a name, like Chocobreak. It becomes a .nuthouse file. The toolbar shows the name, and the dot in front of it goes away.

Step 30: You made a game! 🎉
