Could anyone be my tutor for scripting :S
I've mastered the start bricks, motion, looks, sound, ifs, and sensing.
Could someone teach me how to use pen, variables, and operators?
I joined yesterday, so I think I did good.
I was up all night studying scripts/projects and making them.

Re: Could anyone be my tutor for scripting :S
Variables:
The "For All Sprites" means that the variable can be used by everything, and "For This Sprite Only" means it's ONLY for the sprite your currently making the variable for.
The "Set" and "Change" is for Increasing/Decreasing the variable. That's kinda the point of variables. Hiding and Showing is for if you can see the variable on the screen.
Lists are for putting down various things-Voting, keeping track, lots. That's why it's called a list, because it contains a list. XP Deleting is to delete something on the list that you don't want on there.
Pen:
The stamp tool is to just stamp the current costume so you see multiples of it. It's quite useful.
Operator:
Tell you next post.

You learn programming best by actually programming. Try download some projects you like, check the techniques used, then making your own version from the ground up.
Hi, I am Archmage coder extraordinaire. I do Scratch,pascal,java,php,html, AS2 and AS3. Leave me a message if you want coding advice. Also check out my personal website, lots of good stuff about web development, Flash, and Scratch (v1 and v2) !

My scratch folder contains 216 megabytes of unuploaded stuff.

That doesn't really mean anything. If you need coding experience that is the best way to get it. After you understand everything, if you use other languages that are not so limiting you will get much better.

Re: Could anyone be my tutor for scripting :S
Alright, Operators:
The pick random # to # block is for picking randomly, if you wanted to say, make a dice, or chance.. Also good. The And, Or and not blocks are for, well, using sensing and whatever it says. Say, If not touching color black.
Honestly, that's about all I know about operators. (It's all I use. T^T)
I hope you found this helpful.
