Create, collect, destroy. Control treasures in the new gamedev level [Run for Gold](https://codecombat.com/play/level/run-for-gold)
It’s a practice level for “game time” mechanic. Control several timers for unit and items.

No one provides working solutions in this forum. If you’re having trouble solving the level, please post your code and there are many here who are more than happy to help you. This is a learning forum and simply providing solutions is not helpful and in fact, counter productive.

I came across a strange behavior that reproduces once in a while. As my player stays at a location where a valuable item was spawn, the game score goes up infinitely without any further actions. It stops as I move my character away from the spot.

Watch the game score at 0:14.
