I am new to javaScript and trying to create a simon game in jS and want to increase level everytime nextSequence() is called
var started = false; //toggler
var level = 0;
$(document).on("keydown", function() {
if (!started) {
$("h1").text("Level 0")
nextSequence()
started = true;
}
})
function nextSequence() {
var randomNumber = Math.random() * 4;
randomNumber = Math.floor(randomNumber);
var randomChosenColor = buttonColors[randomNumber] //any one color
gamePattern.push(randomChosenColor);
$("#" + randomChosenColor).fadeOut(100).fadeIn(100).fadeOut(100).fadeIn(100); // animate
level = level + 1
console.log(level)
}<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>Assuming you have all of the necessary variables set (buttonColors). The variable level should be increased by one every key down, if you want to display the score through the h1 you would need to incorporate the 'score' variable into the text
so change $("h1").text("Level 0") to $("h1").text("Level " + level)
