Re: dude how do you make a game

Open up the Scratch program. Do you see those three buttons below the project screen? Click the one on the left - a paint editor will come up. Draw your sprite, click OK, and you have your sprite!

Re: dude how do you make a game

Open the scratch program. Look at the top of the window. There is a thing that says 'File" click on it. A bar should come down. Then click "Open". Then when that window comes up, find the 'Samples" button. Click it. There are projects you can play and watch that will show you how to program  smile

Re: dude how do you make a game

Sounds like you're new to programming. Why not watch one of our video tutorials to give you a better idea of how coding works in Scratch?  smile

Drag them on to the lined space, and right click the block, and click help. you can learn what each one does.

Well, the great secret is to simply scribe a scribble and add some fancy Scratch bricks and bravo!

Re: dude how do you make a game

The Scratch wiki is a great place to go. Also, check out the 'All About Scratch' forum. Or - download someone else's project and see how the scripts work.

There are so many links on the right hand side on the homepage that will help you. It's surprising how many people have never even glanced at that section of the page  lol

Re: dude how do you make a game

When you're on scratch, click on the 'control' tab, and drag the [when flag clicked] block onto the screen to the left. From here you could try these things.

-Click on the forever block and drag it onto the first block you dragged on. Drag [move 10 steps] inside the [forever] block, and put afterwards [if on edge bounce] inside there as well.

-Under the 'looks' tab, add [set size to 50%] to the first block. Then go back to the 'control' tab, and add the [forever] block to the first block you dragged on, then put [change size by 2] in the [forever] block.

Afterwards, click the flag to see what happens, and press the 'stop all' button next to the flag to stop]

To make games you need to also use the control block [if space key pressed] and change the space key to perhaps left arrow. Then when you press the left arrow key, what's listed will happen. For further games, use the [key space key pressed?] block under the 'sensing' tab.

There are some examples to help you out, on militarydudes's post.

Re: dude how do you make a game

go to motions (blue) and see move 10 steps. You can change the # of steps, and click and hold, drag to empty space to right. There are scripts, costumes, (backgrounds for the stage) and sounds. You can record a sound or upload it. To "move _ steps", you have to go to the control yellow blocks. Go to when " " key is pressed, and choose a key. Put that in the right empty space too and attach it to move _ steps. You have to do it for 1 sprite and you can copy it to another sprite too. for that sprite, press the key you chose and it moves _ steps! put negative steps to go left and positive to go right.
