can you involve your mouse when programming a game, and how?
i want to know how to program my game to use my mouse ( i.e. instead of the space bar or down arrow). this, i would mainly use for aiming.

This should go in "Questions about Scratch" (reported to be moved), but you can use some blocks such as:
when [sprite1 v] clicked move [3] steps when gf clicked if <(mouse x) > [5]> move [3] steps end

You can retrieve the current mouse coordinates with the (mouse x) and (mouse y) blocks under the sensing tab. You can also check to see if the mouse is pressed.
(mouse x) (mouse y) <mouse down?>

You can also have a sprite follow the mouse...
when gf clicked forever point towards [mouse-pointer v] move (3) steps end

Fixed.
Anyway, another block you could use is:
(touching [mouse pointer v]?)

For a crosshairs for aiming, you would use this script.
when gf clicked forever go to [mouse pointer v] if <mouse down?> broadcast [fire! v] and wait endThis will work for a shooting game of some sort.
Why are the secret organizations getting all the attention?

Re: can you involve your mouse when programming a game, and how?
As was pointed out above, there are plenty of blocks that can help you incorporate the mouse into the game. Here are all the blocks that you can use:
(mouse x)
(mouse y)
<mouse down?>
go to [mouse-pointer v]
<touching [mouse-pointer v]?>
point towards [mouse-pointer v]
(distance to [mouse-pointer v])
