[blocks]
<when green flag clicked>
<forever>
<if><touching color[ whatever colour the ground is
<set{ gravity }to( 0
<change y by( 1
<else>
<change{ gravity }by( -1 (or however fast you want to fall)
<end>
<change y by( <{ gravity }>
<end>
[/blocks]
also add this to the same sprite
[blocks]
<when green flag clicked>
<forever>
<if><key[ up ]pressed?>
<set{ gravity }to( 5 (or however high you want to jump)
<repeat until><< <not> <touching color[ whatever colour your ground is >>
<change y by( 5
<end>
<end>
<end>
[/blocks]
add both those scripts to the same sprite

Just ask as a reply a question, then we quote it and we answer it. So, if you want the answer, just ask and check here every few hours.

He doesn't mean that - he wants to know how to use the ask block. 
You have to use the "ask [] and wait" block, and some other blocks if you want Scratch to react differently to certain answers, like this:

How long does it take for projects to show up on the "recently shared" projects gallery on the website? I posted mine over 12 hours ago and it hasn't shown up yet.
Sometimes they don't show up - if a lot of people post projects all at once, only three will show on the front page. After a while (usually about half hour or so), projects on the "latest shared" list slip off the bottom, and are no longer visible on that page...
Hope this helps
