Re: Ask me anything
Uh... Um... Hmm...
Will these blocks be in 1.5?
They report back with your computer's system time.
Right now I'm working on a Day / Night sim.

Come on, I said about Scratch!
By the way, this is what my password says when I type it in: ********
let's see what's every possible combination with 8 characters... I might make a project that works that out...
OK I was just about to then I got suspicious and worked out that there are I think 6634204312890625 possibilities... now all we need is a computer that will sit there for years testing every possibility!

If thats the case, are you compressing it already or has it got a lot of music files?
If you compress the file then it usually fits and lots of music also tends to bump the file size up so you could try removing one or two

The NSA has a machine that can do that in 5 minutes.

Re: Ask me anything
How many projects will there be on Scratch at midnight, New Zealand Time, on the 8th of March, 2012?
No, seriously.
How many versions of Scratch have there been in the past? It's currently 1.4 at the time of posting.

Hmph enjoy your fall - I get a lovely spring... without pans of new leaves.

Counting the numerous betas and 1._.1s?
That's a question to ask the Scratch Team.

We'd have to do 256^8 (256 is all ASCII [or Unicode?] characters) possibilities.
Also, these Date/Time blocks look awesome.

How do you make a platform game? I know how to make gravity. But how do I make platforms and levels? Or to be more precise how do make a door dissapear and reappear?
Try reading this tutorial, if you want scrolling: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/Rukqo/115602 For the door, use the Show and Hide blocks. For levels, use a variable and use different costumes on each part of the level.

Re: Ask me anything
our teacher told us that we were going to make a pong game but the only problem was that we were not allowed to used "if on edge bounce thing". can u show me a script for bouncing off using the x velocity and y velocity thing?

Re: Ask me anything
<if><( <abs( <y position> <>> 169 )>
<set{ yvelocity }to( (( 0 <-> <{ yvelocity }> ))
add that script to script that tells the ball to move, in your pong game

So your password is a swear word. An 8 letter swear word at that. hmmm
"Something most Flash developers couldn't do."/"If 50 people did this, I would be amazed."/"Truly the best game on Scratch."/"So realistic, dark, and even beautiful, this game is better than 90% of escape games!" Real comments! CLICK HERE to see for yourself!

I think you'll find it's 16777216. If you're going to make a project that works that out, just make an anagram solver, that's what I'm doing at the moment.

i don't know how to make a list and what is it for?
To make a list:
Go to the "Variables" section of blocks and click "Make a list".
What are lists for:
Lists are for storing large amounts of data that cannot be stored in a variable. You can think of a list as a storage container for variables.
