Hi, long time browser, first time poster

I’m making a pong game, just wondering how to add a life every time you reach 1000 points. Yes, I’ve used the mod operator, but that doesn’t always work…

Say I’m on 999 points, then I hit a block and get 2 points. Thats 1001, and my mod operator doesn’t count it.

current if statement to add life:

if(score%1000==0)

anybody got any ideas?
