how do you make a game and not a animation

Probably the easiest way to learn is to download a few simple games and look at the way they are made.  The key characteristic of a game is that there is some way for the player to interact with the project.  There are many blocks that you can use in your projects to make it interactive such as:

[blocks]
<when[ left arrow ]key pressed>
<when[ SomeSprite ]clicked>
<if><mouse down?>
<if><key[ left arrow  ]pressed?>
<if><loud?>
[/blocks]

There are others as well:  The Ask / Answer blocks for example.

Which ones you use depends on what you are looking for from the player and how you want your game to work
