@anyone: You wouldn't happen to know how to do "if on edge, bounce" style bouncing without that block, would you? I've been trying to do so for this pong game... The version on the Scratch Wiki doesn't work quite right... 

Sorry, I have no idea 

OK - I made an AI pong style game last night ^^ I don't think the bouncing is perfect, though (I was aiming for reflection... ie: if you shine a torch into a mirror at 45 degrees from a line perpendicular to the mirror surface (I think it's called the normal?), it will reflect back at -45 degrees from the same perpendicular... I ended up using the Wiki's bouncing method in the end, adapted for what I needed)

If you want to make 2 player pong, we could put both of them in 

You could hide variables when the green flag is clicked, then "when I recieve x" "show variable"

As for more arcade games that would be fairly small...

We could make just about anything and add pixellated graphics xD Joking, but if we can't think of any, we could do that.

A small version of a Mario Kart style game? We could top-down scroller it on a small track, with small cars, and have an AI to race against... We could probably do that with 3 sprites... 

A platformer? They always go down well...

Dig Dug..? I can't remember the rules, though xD

MLC was making Space Invaders...

@Wolfie do you mind if I change your pong a bit?
It's just the ball travels quite slowly and maybe I could change the angle?

MMkay ^^ The judges judge offline only, so we should be OK with that 

Hmm... would you like to make a 1s1s project for the library? (sorry that I took so long in replying - I'm working on the graphics for the arcade)

I'll try to make a 1s1s... although I've never really made one before

I just realised... putting Space Invaders in might make the arcade a little sprite-heavy... which could cause lag, which would lower our score...

We have 2 options to fix this:

A. Scale it down, with only one line of invaders or something... but that might make it too easy to beat.

B. Replace Space Invaders with a smaller game. (a 2 player something, perhaps?)

What do you three think? 

I might have to release my one sprite one script project at the very last minute, because it's extremely complicated and will take ages to work on, plus BulboGrubb's coming round to my house for 6 hours today which will stop me working on it...

OK. I've worked on a very simple way of porting them in ^^ Just don't make the script massively long... I have a really old computer (I'm getting a new one sometime in August or September), so if the script's too long, you might have to port it in yourself... 

Okay, I'll try to condense the script down as little as possible, or I could upload it as having three different scripts, and you could put them together...

That might work ^^ If not:

To port, all you have to do is copy one of the existing book spine sprites, recolour it, change the book title, and if you're good at word play, change the author's name    Change the second broadcast to the one you want your game to act on.

Then, make the 1s1s sprite hide when the flag is clicked, and show when it recieves the variable. At the end of the script, make it hide and broadcast "shelf".

Okay, I think I get that, but hopefully the script shouldn't be too large...

I don't know...    but we need to get working on it fast.

What do you want to do?

How about a chatbot? They always seem to go down well... I have no idea how to make one, though Dx

I think a scroller would work... if we were to make something like 08jackt's Radar... with the selectable levels and stuff... it might work
