Variables & Scorekeeper Studio
A variable is a named container that stores a value you can change. Create score jars, build a program with Add and Subtract blocks, and run it to see each step in action.
A program is ready for you. Press Run Step to run one block at a time and watch the jar values change. See how each instruction updates the scorekeeper.

What is a variable?
A variable is a named container that holds a value. You can change what is inside it any time. In this tool, each score jar is a variable. When you run Add, Subtract, Set, or Reset blocks, you are writing instructions that change what is stored in each jar.
