Scratch

I currently working on the battle engine. any request or ideas?

Ideas: Have a contest and maybe 10 places. The contest could be about drawing a character to be featured in the game, because I think you said you needed characters. You could choose 10 people's entries, and maybe give a prize out to those ten, and also ask those 10 for some animations, aka fighting, walking, jumping, running, etc.

Stages are crucial to the game. It won't be very good to have a couple of different colored squares as a stage. Make it unique and detailed. Once again, you could have a contest for that too.

For the battle engine, I wouldn't suggest so many different keys for attacking. In Outlaw, there were a couple different keys for fighting. But for the battle engine in this project, you should make space and maybe one other key be the keys to attack because it gets confusing and annoying to remember which keys to press to attack. You may think that 2 keys aren't much to attack, only 2 attacks. But, you could make the attacks be combos such as: Space and right arrow key: Right side kick  Space and left arrow key: Left side kick  Space and up arrow key: Upwards kick.

Just some ideas for you 

I plan to have a contest for characters but they will not be a fighter they would be on a trophy because i want this game to be a mesh of scratch icons. Also the amount of moves it takes to make a character in the game is too many for the average contest entry. I plan to make stages creative and unique and not a boring square. The image i'm about to upload to this forum isn't a official stage its just a test stage for the cpu a.i. I used those style of controls before but i got even more negative comments about it than my outlaw controls. Also i'm trying to make the controls simple yet complex so that hardcore gamers like it and casual like it too.

Oh okay, that's a better idea  . Good luck on the game! Although you will get like over 5000 views anyway

More like 3000 at most

But still you get over a 1000 views per project. I only have like 4 projects that have over 100 views and less than 300.

if <your game is cool> 
   switch to costume [cannibal flower texture]
else
   broadcast [need more ideas] and wait

DANGIT! Maybe the file is too big (Scratch project file).
Did you lose everything?

I lost a couple characters. My file size is only 278kb and theres no music. It said my squeak was out of memory. Apparently my cpu Ai coding was too long for scratch and now not even a blank scratch page will open. 

By the way, shouldn't this be in the "Show and Tell" section of the forums?

What? Your scratch wont work? Firetruck! Did you try to get a fresh copy of Scratch? Because that helped me once a lot. The only problem is, the project will be lost…

Ok i just got my cpu back so im gonna start development
