Scratch

im new will you be my friend  you people out  there

Hello everybody.

I've just got to programming after a very long break, and all I did before was BASIC.  So I downloaded scratch in attempt to update my skills.  And so here I am.

I've written some basic BASIC games previously, like battleships, and some other really simple programs.  So sitting down with Scratch, well I gave it a go, and I'm stuck.

So really this is a 'hello' and a 'please can anyone help me?' post all in one ^_^.

How do you create games w/ Scratch?

Hello Sarah,
You can click the link I gave to Sweetleaf, and then I recommend you to download other people's projects to see how they work

Thankyou yes, but I'm a little beyond that and as you know it's a question of how your logic works when applied to the logic that needs to be used in an environment like scratch.  And I'm stuck because I don't know how I've gone wrong, so it's a bit beyond guides, in that I need someone to point at the program and say why it wont work.

Hi Sweetleaf 

I'm just wondering, what exactly are you stuck with? I could try and help If I knew a bit more 

Hi all, i am new to scratch. I heard about it from my friend and created my own small game. 

Hey guys im, well, Fishboy187. I joined last Tuesday and I have 3 games on this site and I just found out about these forums. I saw the new members tab and I knew i had to check it out.

Good idea for a topic... almost like an ice breaker (im new)

Have you tried downloading other user's projects and see how they work?
And I could help you with your project, just upload it and I'll reply back in a couple of days 

Yes, I've tried pulling apart programs based on similar concepts (space invaders kindof) but a lot of them seem overly long and too complex for their own good, and I'm only constructing it slowly as I'm going along, making each step work before moving on to the next one.  I'm being far too organised compared to normal 

I just uploaded it to my profile thingy.  So thankyou in advance for your help.
