I'm new and shared my first game here on SCRATCH: "Classic Pong". I'm trying to improve it, probably by putting in an option to play the game again. How do I do that?

Here's the link to the game:

Unfortunately, there is no way to do that unless you do this:

when gf clicked
broadcast [startgame v]


when I receive [startgame v]
Gamecode here...


When [replaybutton] clicked//put this in the button to replay sprite
broadcast [startgame v]

It's actually pretty simple: make a sprite by using the fill tool on the entire canvas, and add the text "Click to play again." Then add these scripts:

when gf clicked
set [ghost v] effect to (100)

when sprite1 clicked
broadcast [scratch-startclicked v]

Yeah.

broadcast [scratch-startclicked v]

does the same thing as clicking the green flag.

When gf clicked
broadcast [begin v] //put this on the stage 



When I receive [begin v] //put this on whatever sprites are going to be playing (like the ball) 
game code 
broadcast [gameover v] 



When I receive [gameover v] //this goes on the play again sprite
show


when [play again button] clicked //This also goes on the play again sprite
broadcast [begin v]

this is how.

when gf clicked
broadcast [start v]

when i receive [start v]
insert your game code here
if <(lives) < [1]> //or whatever
 do game over scene //whatever it is
 broadcast [replay v]
end

when i receive [replay v] //for the replay button
show
wait until <<touching [mouse-pointer v]?> and <mouse down?>>
broadcast [start v]

and, on a completely unrelated note,

when [quit button v] clicked
stop all

hope this helps.
--

when gf clicked
forever
 go to [my projects v]
 click [one of my projects v]
 say [I like these projects!]
 click [love it v]
 check out more projects!
 click this next block:
 obsolete!
end
