Scratch

Hey,

I'm completely new to scratch, and even though i do have experience with sprites, triggers and very little scripting, i need help with a few issues.

1) Boundaries: is there any way to limit a sprites movement to just a specific area?
Like make it so that a sprite cannot enter this area, or make collision between sprites?
Because its seriously weird how ur guy can go walk into the air and over water...
(depending on the background of course)

2)Gravity: Is there any way you could simulate gravity? Like say you said that
"when you press the up arrow key, the sprite will move up at 10..speed er whatever"
could you make it so the sprite would slowly fall for the exact same distance it went up?

3) Isometric: Isometric is a fancy word for diamonds. heres the easiest way to explain it

When your sitting at a desk, and theres a square perfectly parallel, what does it look like.
A: if you said a square...then you're correct.

But what happens if you move to the corner of the desk, and the square is no longer
facing you, and because your looking at it sideways, it looks like a diamond. what does it look like?
A: a diamond.

So instead of having your normally box screen, you turn the angle of the camera, or what or how the viewer is looking at the screen. But isometricy also gives a better
sense of 3 dimensionness...A box looks more like a box when its tilited, but because
your no longer looking at it like square, the movement isn't in perpendicular
directions, It's diagonal. Which means when you press the left key, you don't go left, you go diagonal left, and when you go right, you go diagonal right. Its like the rook on chessboard,s...or...slanted lines...i don't know

Thats all confusing but, is there anyway you can move a character...diaganal left?
