Gravity
Hi everyone,
I'm new at scratch and I want to make a game with gravity. I was hoping someone could explain to me how to add gravity to my game so that my sprite always comes back down to earth. I would really appreciate your help.
Thank you, Estelle.

Re: Gravity
Welcome to Scratch 
Simulating gravity is actually pretty simple; just put this script on the sprite that's falling/jumping...
when green flag clicked set [y velocity v] to [0] forever if <touching color [#36E813]?>//Change the colour in this block to the colour of the ground. if <key [up arrow v] pressed?> set [y velocity v] to (10) else set [y velocity v] to (1) end else change [y velocity v] by (-1) end change y by (y velocity) end
