For this part, “set true upon…” , do i write that in variables too? I don’t know how to do this part.

Instead of reset here we agreed to say

gameOverScreen=true;

The reset is called in keyPressed then. Here you say

gameOverScreen=false; obviously

and pedY = height-25; etc.

I’m kinda getting a deja-vu moment here. I’ve a simular question also with a game that involves a player dodging cars and the question being on how to implement a scoring system with a hard cap…

The issue in this post was the saved coordinates of the pedestrian not matching up with the sprites coordinates. It was this thread:
