Suppose we have screen 1, screen 2, and screen 3
What if I want to give 5 points for screen 1, 10 points for screen 2, 0 points for screen 3?
How can I represent the screen the user is currently on?

You can store values in variables. If you want to keep track of the screen, just set a variable to the text string “screen 1” or “screen 2” etc.
If you want to learn more about variables, Google _variables Thunkable_. The first result is usually the documentation.
