Scratch

Isn't having people script it for you like cheating?

No its not , i have asked the teacher and she said thats okay.

I can help too. Please post what you need help with.

I can't script a whole game for you. Plus, learning it Is the best way. That way you can know what to do In the future instead of relying on others. If you need help with specific parts, that is what this is for. Apparently, you don't know much on scratch, so I'll try to make a little help sheet.

Move [] steps

This will move your sprite, a character, on the screen in the directoon its facing. In the box you type in the amount of steps you want it to move.

Forever

This block make it do whatever is inside it forever. So now, try putting something in it.

Forever
Move [2] steps
Wait [1] seconds

With this, the sprite will forever move 2 steps, wait 1 second, and keep repeating it.

Now, you need something to make his script work.

When gf clicked

You must connect this to the top of the script in order for it to start  when the green flag is clicked. This is in the control blocks.

Sensing blocks

When flag clicked
Forever if <touching [sprite 2 v]>
Move [2]steps
Wait [1] seconds
Move [3] steps

With this, whenever the sprite touches sprite 2, then it will do the script. Remember, this will only work after the green flag is clicked.

Looks

Hide
Wait [2]second
Show

With this script the sprite will hide, wait 2 seconds and then show.

Broadcasting

When flag clicked
Forever if <touching [sprite 2 v]>
Move [2] steps
Wait [1] seconds
Move [3] steps
Broadcast [whatever v]

With this, when it reaches the broadcast it will broadcast "whatever" now, you would put this in another sprite.

When I receive [whatever v]
Show 
Repeat [5]times
Move [2] steps
End
Say [you win!] for [3] seconds

Once "whatever" is broadcasted, this sprite receives it. This script starts when it receives it.
The repeat repeats the script in it the amount of times you make it. There is much more, but I said the basics.

Ty things out in Scratch. That is one of the best ways I learn.

One more thing I forgot:

Stop all

this stops everything in the game. It's good for "game over"

Stop script

This ends the script that this is put in.

When gf clicked
Repeat until <touching color[green]>
Point in direction [mouse-pointer v]
Move [3] steps
End
Broadcast [game over]
Hide 
Stop all

The will repeat the scripts in the "repeat until" until it touches green. Then it moves on to the next scripts after it.

Hope this was helpful!
