Scratch

Does anyone know how to get Scratch (or dare I say it, BYOB?) to close by pressing a button as part of a game? The best I can do at the moment is to stop everything, but a button to end the game would be far more satisfying. Thanks.

Why "Dare you say" BYOB? And no, not without a glitch or a block used through hacking/source code. Maybe an in-game button that has a black sprite the size of the screen come up and stop everything. That would create the effect that the game is over, but I don't see why you would need a script like that when you could either close Scratch, or press the stop button or use the stop all script.

Thanks for the help. The request was actually to try to meet a requirement for a project that my class is developing; however, faking it sounds like a brilliant idea - although I might just get them to put up a black stage and hide everything else, then use stop all! No intention of offending re: BYOB - I think it's brilliant - it is just that it's Scratch's big brother, so I wasn't sure if I should mention it! smile

It's technically Scratch's little brother. And it's not taboo. smile

It already exists, it's the "Stop All" button. tongue

I already went over that, technoguyx. tongue

set [quit v] to [1000]
forever
  change [quit v] by ((quit) * (quit))
end

That should cause Scratch to run out of memory and close.
EDIT: This should work on Windows, but on OS X it will make Scratch freeze and do nothing. I suggest you don't use it online either because it would probably cause Flash Player to freeze, and possibly the whole browser.

This will not works if any computer have many memory. tongue

set [quit] to (1000)
forever
  change [quit v] by ( (quit) * (quit) )
end

Even this:

set [quit] to (10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000)
forever
  change [quit v] by ( (quit) * (quit) )
end

set [quit v] to (1000)
forever
  change [quit v] by ( < (quit) * (quit) > )
end

I'm pretty sure this topic was resolved within the first or second reply, guys.

I'll report it to be closed.

Closing as resolved.
