Scratch

That's really cool - What kinds of things do you learn in this class?

whats Visual Basics?

funkeymonkey, visual basic is a different programming language which is a lot different from scratch. My dad does it and from the look of it it does calculations and buttons and not much games. Plus the code is all numbers or words.

Coding in numbers & words isn't so tough.

See if you can spot the similarities to my sprite movement done right project in this actionscript code.
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/archmage/72848

This is basically sprite movement done right coded in actionscript.

//This goes on the player sprite
onClipEvent (load) {
    //When this sprite loads declare some variables
    var xVelocity:Number = 0;
    var yVelocity:Number = 0;
    var maxSpeed:Number = 20;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
    //Every time another frame goes by execute this code
    if (Math.abs(xVelocity)<maxSpeed) {
        if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
            xVelocity += 2;
        }
        if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
            xVelocity -= 2;
        }
    }
    if (this.hitTest(_root.ground)) {
        yVelocity = -1;
        if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
            yVelocity = -15;
        }
    }
    xVelocity *= 0.9;
    yVelocity++;
    _x += xVelocity;
    _y += yVelocity;
}

well today im having my second class! lol    hopefully i get better!

Allright - but I'm not going to add this to all my old flash games, just to avoid errors    !

I will use it in my next flashgames, but there is no reason to use it in my working (and finished) games, or...?

Im just finished my VB class 2 days ago at the end we did a slot machine program with money and the code

Call Randomize

Int(Rnd*4+1)

The First Game I made used Flash and Applescript, and to script and code you had to type everthing for games.

Good Luck!

lol, my dad does stuff Kinda like that, he's a High School Multimedia/Using The Internet/Drama/More Teacher! lol

Nice.
