Just use one box for each category, there's got to be a way to do that right?

I'm working on it. I've been busy with school and homework though...

hehe, ironbizmark. Sorry man, but scratch 2.0 beta allows for hiding and showing lists which would probably be better for inventory  . I hope it's not too big of a deal if we just do it with lists :S.

yah, no kidding! I'm kinda just figuring out 2.0 beta atm. Let's wait till tomorrow to work on it    (so excited)

yes, they do! I've learned how to make blocks. It's pretty useful.

ok, so cloud variables aren't enabled yet which is too bad. Because, what if we made this game an actual massively MULTIPLAYER rpg? I know that would be hard since we won't have any experience with cloud variables and stuff but our game may turn out to be the first multiplayer rpg game in scratch 2.0. Wouldn't that be something to boast over!

The problem is I don't really know the true capabilities of these variables because no one has really seen them to look. So planning that part of the game isn't really possible till later.

2.0 came out?

I have no idea how they'll block chat projects but I know they'll have to enable them in the final release.

I learned a bit more about variables these last couple days and it's way easier to make multiplayer games using text. After all, cloud variables are text. Basically, let's say someone wants to attack someone else. First off, there would probably be an amount of time before he reached the guy he's gonna attack. That would be a cloud variable that says how long it will take to reach the destination.

Next, when the guy arrives, our scripting will manage the results. The end result will determine who lost the most health. Health for each player would also be managed by a  cloud variable. Depending on the strength of each others weapons, one would lose more health than the other. The cloud variable "health" is what I'm not sure about. Because the idea of these variables is that they're the same for each person. But with health, it's not supposed to be the same for everyone.

Each person will have to have their own separate health bar, cause if all of them had to share one bar of health... well that obviously wouldn't work, lol.

I'm thinking cloud lists will solve this problem. Because a cloud list is basically like a cloud variable, but can hold an infinite number of variables which is what will be needed for each person to have their own health bar. So when someone first clicks that green flag, their health will start at 100/100. This information will be added to a cloud list and thus, saved there. Whenever that health changes, the list will update itself.

Does this sound feasible?

Well, I developed a base for the inventory including the lists for each category (the boring part  ), this is on the scratch 2.0 website that I made it so you'll have to there and look at my projects. However, because some of my scripts have been disappearing it's problematic.

Basically, when you click a category, all the other category buttons hide themselves and the one you clicked glides to the upper middle part of the screen. When you do this a corresponding list is shown (with the new "show" and "hide" list blocks). And that's it so far 

After thinking about it for a while I finally think I have a way to get randomized weapons for your level. First off when filling the prize list with items first add to list the bad ones, then gradually add the better ones. THen finally the best ones at the very end. Then when picking a item random between one and your level and adding that to your inventory. Here's a picture of those scripts:

oops, the last block of code should say add to inventory.

Found a glitch>
If you accidentally hit the space bar to often and get the words ahead of your actions you get stuck. Fix it by maybe making it impossible to continue without following all instructions.

Am i accepted then?

Cool!
