Create a game

[GioRinaldi]

Hello,

I am working a quiz game app.
Is it possible that the user starts the game with a default number of life (like 3-5) and every time he/she insert a wrong answer the number of life decrease by 1.
When the number of life is equal to 0, the game is over.
Thanks

It’s probably gonna be easier to let it start with zero as the default, but for display purposes, always add 3 to that number. Set the game over when the value is -3 (displayed as 0).

Otherwise, if you are submitting a form to start a quiz, you could pass in a column value defaulted to 3 as your initial value.

Bonus! This might make it easier.

Default values in forms and add screens!

I had to take a break from my day to announce that forms and add screen components can now have default values. In this case, I default a choice in a form in my expenses app: [2020-08-13 11.07.05] The default value is a computed column–it changes based on who owes whom!
