Good Afternoon.

I desperately need help with a part of my script.
I need to create a scratch game that makes puzzles amongst other things, could you please help me?
I do not know how to create puzzles using scratch.

Sincerely
Kuhey

Since no-one is asking, here is a script for online games

when gf clicked
set [online? v] to [offline]//first set this to offline to see if online
say [online] for ([0] / [0]) secs//this will only continue the script if online, and if offline the divide block will turn red and the script will freeze because of the mathematical error
set [online? v] to [online]//if you are online then this varible will switch to online
stop script//replace stop script with your online script or do it on a different script

How do you make a script find a specific vowel in a word and replace it with a different letter e.g replace letter u in 'put' with o . But not anything like the following script,

when gf clicked
replace (letter [2] of [put]) with [o]

Sadly there isn't a quick way to do this in Scratch. Here's the shortest script that I thought of:

set [letter v] to (1)
set [letter2 v] to (1)//1 if you want the first e, 2 for the second, ect..
set [word v] to ()
set [word2 v] to [the phrase/word you begin with]
repeat (length of (word))
 if <(letter (letter) of (word2)) = [wanted letter to be replaced]>
  change [letter2 v] by (-1)
  if <(letter2) = (0)>
   set [letter2 v] to (1)
   repeat ((letter) - (1))
    set [word v] to (join (word) (letter (letter2) of (word2)))
    change [letter2 v] by (1)
   end
   set [word v] to (join (word) [what you want to replace the letter])
   change [letter2 v] by (1)
   repeat ((length of (word2)) - (letter))
    set [word v] to (join (word) (letter (letter2) of (word2)))
    change [letter2 v] by (1)
   end
  end
 End
 change [letter v] by (1)
end

Once you've run this, variable (word) will become the word you wanted.

For example, let's say I have "I got an A+!" and I want to replace the second "a" with "Chuck Norris" I would then edit the code so that it looked like this:

set [letter v] to (1)
set [letter2 v] to (2)
set [word v] to ()
set [word2 v] to [I got an A+!]
repeat (length of (word))
 if <(letter (letter) of (word2)) = [a]>
  change [letter2 v] by (-1)
  if <(letter2) = (0)>
   set [letter2 v] to (1)
   repeat ((letter) - (1))
    set [word v] to (join (word) (letter (letter2) of (word2)))
    change [letter2 v] by (1)
   end
   set [word v] to (join (word) [Chuck Norris])
   change [letter2 v] by (1)
   repeat ((length of (word2)) - (letter))
    set [word v] to (join (word) (letter (letter2) of (word2)))
    change [letter2 v] by (1)
   end
  end
 End
 change [letter v] by (1)
end

After running the code, I would get back "I got an Chuck Norris+!"

People are bound to copy/remix popular ideas. At least let's try and make this one prosperous.

Hi Scripts Workshop Team,
I thought i should tell you lot about this before i make it:

I am thinking about making a topic where scratchers help find and correct any glitches with a project. It is not general help with scripting as such and I plan to add a link to your topic for people who do want general scripting help

~Willpower~

I, in return, shall post a link to your thread.

Hi Scripts Workshop Team,
I am a teacher in need of help!  I have a student who has worked exceptionally hard on creating a mario style jumping game. He has used scroll x and velocity jumping. When the sprite jumps onto a platform, all works well, the sprite moves along the top of the platform but if it doesn't quite make the top, it ends up moving through the middle. Have looked for along time at his script blocks but can't see where to make amendments. Any help offered much appreciated.
Here is a link to his game :

thanks!

Many thanks! I would love to take you up on your offer of creating a script. Have only been with Scratch for 6 months but learnt so much already. Don't want the students to lose heart with their projects because I can't help them solve problems. Look forward to seeing the solution!
