Re: ITopic: How to Make a Better Project.

but wait...how come Ryuku used sprites from Maplestory and still got a ton of views, if you said its better to make your own? does customizing a sprite template count as "making your own"? Cause I think it's really unfair.  Pr

Re: ITopic: How to Make a Better Project.

I made a good project, it's not that glitchy, runs pretty smoothly, of course, you do get a little bit of lag, but doesn't all projects? Click here to see it.


I might return for a little while.

Re: ITopic: How to Make a Better Project.

Actually, I find the following script works fine for moving diagonally.  Anyway, good tips  smile

<when green flag clicked>
<forever>
<if><key[ Up Arrow ]pressed?>
<change y by( 2 )>
<end>
<if><key[ Right Arrow ]pressed?>
<change x by( 2 )>
<end>
<if><key[ Left Arrow ]pressed?>
<change x by( -2 )>
<end>
<if><key[ Down Arrow ]pressed?>
<change y by( -2 )>
<end>

Re: ITopic: How to Make a Better Project.

Lets see...
A project with no sprites, no backgrounds and just:
A green flag hat, is 1.36KB.
A forever loop, is 1.34KB.
A green flag & forever, is 1.37KB.
http://kirby.classicgaming.gamespy.com/kirbypedia/images/6/69/Kirbylooks.gif is broken.
Should I Test my project?
If some scripts are starting too soon, put a wait 0 secs in front.
If variables aren't showing correctly, make sure to save and upload them with them showing in the right place and right setup.

Other cool tips is to totally add music... if ya don't know how i'll show you... please be aware that computers vary and this may not work.
- Go onto itunes if you have it
- Right click the song you want
- Click "copy", and then right click agian and press "add to Window's explorer"
- Now wait wait wait!!! A screen should pop up after a while
- On the left hand side, under "other places", click " my music"
- Now click the folder labled itunes
- Right click on an open white space and paste. It will convert song autimatically to mp3 so it can paste.
- walla!!! Now just go to scratch, import sound, go down to "my music", click "itunes", and double click the song you chose and it's on scratch!!!!!!!!

I figured this out by myself just messin around

Well, nice try but Scratch doesn't accept mp3 files. It will accept aac, wav and those other ones. mp3 WONT WORK.

mp3 does work. At least, it did for me. But it takes up a lot of space.
