Well, you can make that with paint or any other painting tool on your computer. wink

next, you paint a background and make something happen to change the background, and you have levels. also try to set a goal, like "get all the orbs".....Please take my quiz, it is in my sig

Do you mean you've programmed it to move left and right? Or do you need help figuring out how to do that?

SCAPE · 2012-01-05 18:32:40

Well, what do you want to do? There are plenty of tutorials scattered around the forums for this kind of thing.

Cyber_King · 2012-01-06 15:22:25

There are some great prebuilt games in the starter projects. However, the best way for a starter to make a game is to go find a project on scratch that is a "Platofrmer engine". These contain prebuilt code, so all you need is art!

In the prebuilt projects screen (In scratch, this is below your preview screen, next to "Paint sprite"), you can find a "Jetpack monster". If you insert code to teleport him back to the start when he hits an enemy, you can build a game that way. I have a project based on the Jetpack monster. If you want it, it's open sourced. So go ahead and try it out. smile

TheDogIslandFan, the 180 second rule is to keep new scratchers like yourself from spamming up the forums. sad

Welcome to scratch! I would reccomend looking around in the scratch files and seeing what scripted sprites you can find-people have gotten famous that way, you know! Find something you like, recolor it, maybe add some backgrounds, and you've got a pretty good game for a starter!
