  Hello there AlexandHannah!

Welcome to Scratch!  There are tons of tutorials for Scratch on Youtube, Scratch's own video tutorials, and even simply here on the site in projects!  If you need help with something more specific, just reply back on this topic.

Thanks 4 relpying TRocket,
Well, I'd like to have help to make a game with a point cointer and keyboard control (eg. up key to make sprite go up)
xxxxxxxxxxxxx :-) :-0 :-(

For a point counter:

when gf clicked //block found under control
set [variable v] to (0) //under variables>make new variable
forever //block found under control
if <mouse down?> //blocks found under control and sensing
  change [variable v] by (1) //block found under variables
end

This is example is rather simple, and will count every frame (or every time the script runs) that the mouse is down.

For keyboard control:

when gf clicked
set y to (0) //found under motion
forever
if <key [up arrow v] pressed?> //found under sensing
  change y by (1) //found under motion
end
if <key [down arrow v] pressed?>
  change y by (-1)
end

This will allow you to move a sprite up and down using the up and down arrow keys.

To AtomicBawm3,
How do you make points (eg. bananas one up, crisps one down) and how do you make sprites not touch the certain colours (walls) and how do you make sprites move left/right with the arrow keys?
Thanks 4 Ur help,
HannahandAlex

To AtomicBawm3,
I can only move up with my sprite and there's a glitch that my point counter's going up all the time! Also when my sprite moves up it's like 0.01 MPH! Eekster! It's not as good as I thought (in terms of the up and down sprite and point counter)
Thanks,
HannahandAlex

Ok, for the point counter, if you want it to only go up when the mouse is first clicked, you have two options:

when [Your Sprite v] clicked //found in control
change [variable v] by (1)

For the speed of the sprite in the other one, I put a "1" in the little text box.  If you would like it to move faster, change that number.  Make sure the "-1" for the down arrow gets changed to be the same number but negative as well.
