Saveing a game?

In other programming languages you can save a game and save stuf on another backround only, can you do that in scratch and if so, how?

Re: Saveing a game?

Could you ask the question again? I'm not sure if I understand. You can save a game in Scratch on any background you want. That is, you can set the background picture to any gif, jpg, or png that you want. Or are you asking if it's possible to have multiple "levels" or "scenes"?

Re: Saveing a game?

I'm not sure, but Secnarf2 may have been asking for a way to save the state of a game so that one can log out and come back  later to continue the game.  Without file I/O that seems not possible in scratch.

Re: Saveing a game?

It is not possible to do that in scratch normally you would store a cookie in the users browser to save a game file but scratch doesn't have that functionality.

How about doing some kind of password for each level and a screen at the start that allows you to type the password in so you can jump straight to the last level you played - Paul.

Re: Saveing a game?

Can anyone tell me how to import digital pictures into scratch so that I can use pictures of myself to create an animation?

Yh, simply save the picture that you have then go into 'load new sprite' and find it in your pictures. You can do the same for backgrounds except that each picture has to be reasonable small, 480x360 if my memory is right.

Re: Saveing a game?

I've made a tutorial on how to add passwords and saving points which should help you out.
