all you need to do is click on projects, hit how do i upload a project and then you will be guided through the steps to download scratch. learning how to use scratch is hard but if you look online they will explain the basics.

It says "how do i make a game", but I'll give you all a hint: use
[blocks]<if>
<else>
<end>

<key[ whatever! ]pressed?>

<mouse down?>

<when[ ]clicked>[/blocks]

If you need further help, don't ask us. Right-click the block in question and select help.

Just go to "Inspiration And More" in the forums and then press "Anyone Need Any Help?" and post a comment or question in my topic if you need help! Or you can always click the help button on the Scratch website for a complete guide on everything to do with Scratch! Happy Scratch-ing! wink

Well, for a standard boss battle, you need to set up a health variable- well, two to be precise- one for the controlled character, one for the boss. Then set up a routine for your boss, and controls for your character, and also, to be safe, set up a reset button to stop everything in it's tracks and reset- just in case you need to fix a glitch discovered by testing.

If you want to make a game, it requires usage of scripting beyond what is used in videos. Making games is to making videos as the painting of the Mona Lisa is to preschool art assignment. Don't get me wrong though. I'm definitely exagerating. If you want help though, search for scratch tutorials, look at other projects, and just experiment with the blocks. Remember, if you work hard enough, there's no itch you cant Scratch (Ugh, awful pun).

hmnwilson · 2009-01-02 16:06:11

If you want some tutorials, you can go here: http://info.scratch.mit.edu/Support
If you want to go further, try downloading other people's projects or looking at the sample projects and see what you can do with the code.

You need to download Scratch 1.3 onto your computer, and then look at the tutorials on this website (found by clicking the help button at the top of your screen).
Happy Scratch-ing! smile

That's great! You need to start by downloading Scratch, if you haven't already done so. Here is the download screen....

http://scratch.mit.edu/download

Once you have it downloaded and installed, click on the Open button and then Projects and take a look at some of the projects that come with Scratch...they will give you some idea of how Scratch works. Good luck!

You don't need permission of any kind. Just open up Scratch, make whatever you'd like (as long as it's not innapropiate, such as violence, insulting/swearing or sexual content), and upload it. Then you might want to go to "Show & Tell" and tell people about your new project, to give it some more popularity wink

To make a character move, you have to <when[ up arrow ]key pressed><move(10 )steps><point in direction(0) and that is how to make a basic character move.

One slight point: the WHEN block would be right arrow instead of up arrow. cool

bosox397 · 2009-04-14 13:59:58

It can actually be any arrow, depending on the direction, in that instance with the up arrow, he has it written write.

To go right would be point in direction 90
Left would be point in direction -90
Up would be point in direction 0
Down would be point in direction 180
