Engine Ideas

Hello, I used to make engines or standard scripts that could be practically or impractically used in a Scratch game.  It was my intention to make each as flexible as possible so several people could incorporate the same engine into two or more very different projects.

However, I spent an extremely long time away from the Scratch program, and my knowledge has, well, dried up somewhat, and so I am at a loss for ideas on what engines to create.

That's where you come in.  If you would be so kind as to suggest any kind of engine, one you don't know how to make or think a New Scratcher wouldn't know how to make, something useful or ridiculous, anything at all really, I would be very grateful.

Re: Engine Ideas

I think you should make a platforming game engine because many new scratchers would like to make this type of game but don't have the resources on the website.

Re: Engine Ideas

Ah yes, silly me, I forgot to list engines I've already created to prevent repetition.  Let's see, I've made:

A platforming engine with slope detection and such
A string engine
Infinite Scrolling
Turn Towards Engine
Gravitational Planets Engine
Rotation/Orbit Engine
A Frames Per Second Checker
A Jump Height Checker
An Adjustable Scrolling Camera
A... Javelin... Throwy.... Thing
A Portal Engine

And that's about it.

Re: Engine Ideas

How about an engine for a top-down shooter? Like bullet heaven?

Re: Engine Ideas

Hm, there are quite a lot of ways to interpret an aircraft engine, what kind of engine it would be. I'll have to think about this.

Re: Engine Ideas

Maybe a flight engine? (So like, for a 2d platformer the ability to fly then land and have gravity resume as normal)

Necropost.  I doubt this thread is still alive.

Even so, it is partly relevant to this topic, so it possibly it is not a necropost.

Re: Engine Ideas

I made a physics engine. It can go up slants, and it has a debug mode.
