THANKS ROCKIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, how do you make more than one level? I never figured that out.

The background can actually have costumes (just like sprites), so you can just change the background.  One easy way to do this is to watch the "x position" of your player sprite.  If the sprite gets near the right edge, you can switch the background costume and send the sprite to the other edge of the screen.  (It will walk off the right edge, then enter a new scene from the left side.)

In the Sprite:

If "x position" > 238
set x to ("x position" * -.95)
Broadcast "NextBackground"

In the Background:

If I receive "NextBackground"
next costume

You could go the other way by monitoring for x < -238 and broadcasting a message to the background to tell it to go to the previous costume.  Of course, you'll need to check to see that there is a next (or previous) background to "jump" to.

Hi ILikeFood,

you could let the bullet glide to the location of the mouse pointer.
In your bullet-sprite you could try scripting something like this:

[blocks]
<when green flag clicked>
<hide>
<forever if><mouse down?>
<go to x   <{ startX }> )y   <{ startY }>
<show>
<glide( 0.2 )secs to x   <mouse x> )y   <mouse y>
<hide>
<end>
[/blocks]

This script will make the sprite glide towards the position of the mouse at time it was clicked. Moving the mouse afterwards will not affect the movement's destination. To make the sprite go faster you could experiment with different values in the glide-block. For example, if you want the bullet to move at the same speed regardless of how far it has to go, you could replace the number in the glide block by the following expression:

[blocks]
(( 0.002 <*> <distance to[ mouse pointer ))
[/blocks]

Did that help?
