If you find that when you try and view a project online and it never finishes loading, that is often an indication that your Java heap memory is running out.  That is something that you can configure:

First, you should download Scratch at: http://scratch.mit.edu/pages/download/
Then, play around with the blocks. Just drag n' drop! It's fairly straightforward. If you need any more help, feel free to ask!

Click on add a new sprite and then add scripts to the sprite to the custom of your game.
Hope that helps! big_smile

No, no no. I mean, how do I use sprite sheets like this one:

How do I get the sprites out?

Use an image editor, crop it, and then import the cropped images.

Edit it on a photo editing software program.You can simply use MS Paint but I use Archsoft Photoshop because it contains way more features!Or you can use cropping software.Either way works.

Thanks for all the help guys, you rule. But I found a new way. I coloured the background in white and deleted all I didn't want.

Re: Hi new Scratch members! Need help?

How do you make gravity.
This is how i tried it on 1 sprite but it doesn't work very well

When green flag clicked
forever
point in direction 180
move 3 steps

I also need to know how to scroll and make things into platforms instead of sprites just falling through them.

Thanks.

Re: Hi new Scratch members! Need help?

Hi,

I also need to know how you get a sprite to move to the x position of the mouse pointer (like in the pong game,). I've messed about with scratch a bit but am making my first serious project.

Thanks.

Actually, there are a lot of pong games here on Scratch. You can download any and look at the scripts.  smile

I think this could solve the problem:
[blocks]
<when green flag clicked>
<forever>
<set x to( <mouse x>
<end>
[/blocks]


Hope it helps.  smile

Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>

Re: Hi new Scratch members! Need help?

I'm making a game and I made it so whenever you walk into an enemy you lose a life and you teleport to beginning. But whenever I try to hit something, I die. What scripting should I use?

also, when my attack sprites are played, they interfere with the regular sprites. Is there a way to stop the regular sprites and start the attack sprites then stop and pay the normal sprites again?

Also, when my lives reach 0, is there a way to make a gameover screen?


Any help would be DEEPLY appreciated.
