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  clicked
broadcast startgame ▼
when I receive startgame ▼
Gamecode here...
When replaybutton
 clicked
put this in the button to replay sprite
broadcast startgame ▼

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  clicked
set ghost ▼
 effect to 100
when sprite1 clicked
broadcast scratch-startclicked ▼

Yeah.


broadcast scratch-startclicked ▼

does the same thing as clicking the green flag.

this is how.

when  clicked
broadcast start ▼

when i receive start ▼
insert your game code here
if lives
 < 1
or whatever
do game over scene
whatever it is
broadcast replay ▼

when i receive replay ▼
for the replay button
show
wait until touching mouse-pointer ▼
?
 and mouse down?
broadcast start ▼

and, on a completely unrelated note,

when quit button ▼
 clicked
stop all

hope this helps.

go to my projects ▼
click one of my projects ▼
say I like these projects!
click love it ▼
check out more projects!
click this next block:
obsolete!
