Re: How do you make a game?
Well, it depends what kind of game you want to make. Pick a type, and then try looking at the example projects that come with Scratch for some help.

Hello, um_123! Have you downloaded the Scratch program yet? If not, I recommend you do that here. If you have it, open it up and start programming.

Re: How do you make a game?
It depends on what kind of game, ganres include:
Point and click
Text
Platformer
Puzzle
Top down
45*
I'd say the easiest so start with is a text game, it is very easy.
1. Make a sprite (very small)
2. Make the sprite ask: (Example) "You wake up, a bed south, window east, door west, picture north.
3. Make different answers do differend commands and let ideas emerge!
4. Repeat until your game is finished.
Please read this until the end, because at some point, you will get a clue on the mystery, what mystery you may ask? Well, you will find the answer in the beginning, if you miss it, read it again, maybe you will find my treasure, who knows, it's hidden in the middle, you wanna know where in the middle it is? Check the end.
