Using AlpineJS for Scoring App

I’m working on building a score app for playing straight pool as a Laravel app. So far I’m able to count a players score for a single rack. However, there are still a few things I’d like to do that I’ve not learned yet.

  • I’d like the current rack count to stop at 1 (no negative numbers) which activates the re-rack button and resets the current rack score back to 0.
  • Each time re-rack is pressed I would like the score to add be added to whatever total is at the bottom. So if the players play a race to 100 balls I would want it to keep up with it as they go.

Currently I’m counting in 3 locations (lines 31 & 32, 58 & 60, 65 & 66). Some how I need to figure out how to add lines 58 & 60 to 65 & 66 each time the player presses re-rack in order to keep a cumulative score. I’m stuck on how to figure that out and how it ties together with the re-rack button.

Could someone provide some guidance on how I might tackle the items above? I also may not being doing this in the most efficient way and open to a better approach with using AlpineJS.
