Assignment 11 - Score Multiplier and Bonus Points

Introduction:

In this assignment, we'll introduce a score multiplier feature. If a player hits the ball multiple times without missing, their score will increase faster. This concept is similar to a combo multiplier in many games, encouraging players to keep the ball in play to maximize their score.

Task:

  1. Multiplier Logic:

    • Create a multiplier variable starting at 1.
    • Every time the ball hits the paddle without the player missing, increase the multiplier by 0.5 (up to a maximum of 3x).
    • When the player misses, reset the multiplier to 1.

  2. Update Score Function:

    • Modify the update_score() function to display the current multiplier alongside the score.
