Scratch

I've never done it. I would love to find out how too.

i totally forgot how to switch to turbo mode XD how do you do it again...?

OK, i figured it out    that's pretty awesome! But would it work if the player was controlled by the arrow keys instead of following the mouse?

I kinda need it by today, so that's fine you dont have to. Thank you for offering though! ^_^ im pretty sure the game wouldn't work in turbo mode either, so i'll just find an alternative. 

The stuff doesn't need to be that complicated 

The easiest way to do it is to use 4 invisible sprites that always move to where the player is (using the go to block). The sprites should be positioned at the four sides of the player (top bottom left right) and have a variable that will tell the player whether that side is being touched by black.

If it is, the player should act accordingly by moving a couple pixels/steps in the opposite direction.

The game chop shop by m44 is an example of what I mean.
There's also a nice Wiki article explaining in detail what I mean, you can find it here. The part you're interested in starts at about two paragraphs before the big mario with the four black T's sticking out!

thank you so much! This should really help ^-^

EDIT: Oh, i probably should've mentioned this, but is there a way to do that if im not using the <scrollx> kind of scripting? It's still kind of a scrolling game. I set it up so the player moves like the one in this game: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/Flippers777/1232819

well, instead of changing the scroll value, you can change the player's position directly 

when gf clicked
forever
if <key [right] pressed?>
change x by (5)
if <touching color [black]?>
change x by (-5)
end
end
if <key [left] pressed?>
change x by (-5)
if <touching color [black]?>
change x by (5)
end
if <key [up] pressed?>
change y by (5)
if <touching color [black]?>
change y by (-5)
end
end
if <key [down] pressed?>
change y by (-5)
if <touching color [black]?>
change y by (5)
end
end
end
end
