Fancade 1.6 adds a new script block called [[Menu Item]] and a currency named [[Coins]]. This page is a guide on how to use them.

Update [1.6.6](https://www.fancade.com/wiki/version-history#fancade-1-6-6) added a script block called [[Menu Item]] and a currency named [[Coins]]. This page is a guide on how to use them.

          Currently the only way to access the shop is by winning or losing.

          ## Coins

          To use the coins, just take a number variable and connect it to the `Coins` input in the score block.

          To use the menu items, first take a block out of the inventory, and after placing it in the floor you will see two kinds of inputs: a Picture input and a Variable input.

          To add items to the shop, take as many Menu Item blocks as you need, and after placing them in the floor you will see two inputs: a Picture input and a Variable input.

          The Variable input uses a variable to save the current state of the upgrade.

          ## Variables

          The [[menu item]] has the input called variable, this input can only accept number variable type inputs and not number value type inputs. Though this maybe the case you can somehow do sorcery with it by using the same variable before the menu item and giving that variable a value.

          - For example you use the variable `!var` and given it a value of 2 before feeding it to a menu item (with a setting of `max 5` /`price 100`/ `price double`) the upgrade will be then immediately upgraded to level 2 with a price of 400 for the next upgrade.

          The Variable input in the Menu Item block can only accept number variables, but you can initialize said variable beforehand so that the upgrade starts in a certain level.

          - Playing with it's variable is not as simple as it is though. setting the value of the variable before the menu item means overwriting the existing value of the variable, one work around to it is by using [[max]] math block which outputs the higher number, that means on start being the variable having value of 0 feeding it to max with the other input of it having value of 2 the max will output the 2 and will feed it back to variable, then if the variable has a value of 3 now with the same case with max the max will output 3 as it is higher than 2 and will feed 3 back to itelf preventing value overwrite. This method though is not absolute as it doesn't work with on/off type items, in this case if blocks and truth values will be the one to help. 

          If for example you set a variable to 2 before feeding it to a menu item with settings Max 5 and Double 100, the upgrade will then be pre-set to level 2 with a price of 400 coins for the next upgrade.

With this in mind you can try to get more complex and have your shop with items that can be bought/upgraded interestingly.

Playing with the variable isn't as simple as that though. Setting the value of the variable means overwriting it's existing value. One possible workaround is by using the [[Min]] and [[Max]] blocks. With this in mind you can make your shops more complex and varied; it allows you to have items already set or preupgraded, and can ease testing/debugging.

          ## How to use the bought upgrades

          To use these, take the saved variable (!Var) you sticked into the Variable input and use it in whatever you want. Normally the variables are equal to the upgrade level of the certain upgrade. For example, if used a Max 5 upgrade then the variable can be equal to the values of 0 through 5. If used a On/Off upgrade, the variable can only equal \-1, 0 or 1. If used a No Limit upgrade, the variable can equal 0 through 16777216 because float rounding

          rounds down the next number. (pedanticism)

          To use the upgrades, just take the value of the variable you used for the item and use it in whatever you need. The variables' values depend on the current upgrade type and it's value. 

          For example:

          - If set to "Max **n**", the variable can be between 0 and **n**, inclusive.

          - If set to "ON/OFF", the variable can only equal \-1, 0 or 1.

          - If set to "No Limit", the maximum value of the variable depends on your system's maximum exactly-represented integer for floating point numbers. You will never need to worry about this last one, as that number is *really big* (the maximum unsigned 32-bit number is [4,294,967,295](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4,294,967,295)).

          ## Buggy effects of negative numbers

          Negative values do work with other settings besides on/off, but they change the button to look like OFF. They still work, and the algorithm that calculates the price runs like usual.
