how do you make a scrolling game that alaws you to go up in it like a new terrain that if you go up you can get into it!!!!?????????

Its exacly the same as scroll X but its scroll Y.

Ok, im not sure if you can mosaic the backround, but if you could (i cant check because my scratch computer is in use)  Ok. So  make a variable called "mosaic" (if you've seen my scratch cat adventures you would know what im doing) and do this script:


                                                                <when green flag clicked>
                                                                <set{ mosiac }to( 0
         


                                                                 Now, do this:

                                                         







Continued off off the other script......
                                                         
                                                          <wait(2 or 3  )secs>
                                                          <broadcast[ car
                                                          <repeat until><( <{ mosaci }> <=>20  )>
                                                          <change{ mosiac }by( 1
                                                          <change[ mosaic ]effect by(1
                                                          <end>


                            And for your car,



                                                    <when I receive[ car
                                                    <show>       


                                                       <when green flag clicked>     
                                                        <hide>

Actually, what I meant by 'mosaic' was the 'mosaic effect'. You know, like the color, fisheye, whirl, pixel, and so on. Everything else seems to be OK.

Thank you

OK, a few things.

1. Can I get the mosaic effect going only three times as opposed to for ever? 

2. How do I type what you want me to type ('mosaic 20') inside that orange shape on the 'repeat until' block?

3. I can't find the 'hide' and 'show' keys. Are they supposed to be under 'Motion'? When I click the motion block I get the following response:
"Stage selected. No motion blocks".

I don't have 'hide' block under looks!

OK thanks, I just found it.

I'm sorry Heyrbian but I'm very confused. Too much stuff to process. Too many things don't make sense. On the verge of throwing in the towel and going for way easier Powerpoint.

I'm an ESL teacher and have never done any programming @ all. Sorry but having so many blocks and so many new names is so confusing. I also get very frustrated 'cause I really want 2 learn how 2 use Scratch cause it totally rocks and I spend so much time trying 2 figure out how 2  use it but so far I c no results. Check out my project "Do you know how to get to uni?" and u'll see what I mean. It totally sucks man. It just sucks big time. It's not what I want @ all, it's incomplete,  and I'm not even halfway through the designing stage. But b4 I throw in the towel,  would it be OK if send u an email telling u in plain and simple English what exactly it is that I want 2 design? It's such as simple ESL activity man.

Thanks Kevin. I just did that.

Hi mr pro scratcher

I need your help. when i open scratch i need my first background to open with all my sprites hidden. I have been able to click green flag and start the game, however when it is loaded up i need the sprites hidden. If you can help please can you reply or even better add me on msn [e-mail deleted]

Look forward to hearing from you fellow scratcher.

Hi stevejohnson179 and Heybrian,

When you save a project in Scratch it also saves the state of each object (sprite, background), i.e. if you hide a sprite in the development environment by double clicking on the 'hide' block, and save your project afterwards, that sprite will be hidden the next time you open this project.

Heybrian's suggestion to "initialize" or "reset" the state of each object on project launch ("when the green flag is clicked") will let the sprites flash up for a short moment, before they become hidden. However, Heybrian is absolutely right in his advice, that it is good programming practice to initialize your project's desired state on launch. That way users can always reset your project to its initial state by clicking the green flag.

Hi mchiarel,

You might want to use a separete thread for your question. In short: you can download the Java player (Scratch.jar) and embed any Scratch projects in your offline-webpages in pretty much the same way this website does. You'll find some hints how to accomplish that in this forum thread:

Was this what you were looking for?
