gravity

think we should make a section for gravity because you have to use lots and lots of blocks  neutral
____________________________________________________________________________________
so we could set the gravity to [blank]%
and change the gravity by [blank].
____________________________________________________________________________________
so we do not have to use lots of blocks,variables and lots of others  big_smile   smile  be a voter and be  smile  or  big_smile  and not  sad

Re: gravity

the problem is that scratch isnt exclusively for platformers or physics engines so gravity would be too specific

and the point of Scratch is to program this yourself.

Gravity is 9.8 m/s/s in real life, so just make a velocity variable, and increase it by a constant that seems right for the screen. and 0 when it hits the thing.
