Scratch

I know it's pretty basic stuff, but I've seen loads of really good games, and they don't have the mouse over script. If you don't know what I'm talking about, I'll give you an example. If you are using Windows, move your mouse over to the Start button, you'll see that it becomes highlighted, on a mac, move your mouse to the top left corner of the screen and put the cursor on the name of whatever you have open (finder, etc), it will be highlighted. You may think it is not important, but it makes the game seem more professional, so even things like this can get you more love - its! I know it is simple, but for those of you who are new and can't work it out, simply do this:

When Green Flag Pressed
[Start Forever]
If touching mouse pointer - switch to costume 1
If not touching mouse pointer - switch to costume 2
[End Forever]

That is assuming costume 1 is the highlighted costume and costume 2 is the unhighlighted one.

I don't know whether I'll get this right, but I'll have a go at doing this with the blocks feature in the forum:

<when green flag clicked>
<forever>
<if><touching[mouse pointer
<switch to costume[1
<end>
<if><<  <not>  >><touching[mouse pointer
<switch to costume[2
<end>
<end>

Thanks.
