I'll do it, on next day. I promise. 

Isn't that kind of contradicting yourself? You say, and I quote:

I will create lot thing!!!!! No kidding!

Please Comment!

in vain so people notice it, and next thing, you're saying:

I'll do it, on next day.

Not to be eavesdropping or anything, but do you know what you are doing? I mean, I couldn't make a help thread myself. It's hard.

What're you meaning?

Anyway Ity's easy to make new forum just cilck which is your topic on forum topic. Then you scroll down til you see "Post New Forum"
Cilck on that, then type your idea topic, that is what you talking about, then type your message. Then cilck on "OK" It'll automally send it to Scratch's fourm or if you want test your message (This test if your message actually work), then cilck "Pretest"
You can't replace it if already on Scratch forum. It's work on mine, do your?    <- ?????

I'm two years older than you on here so I should know how to do that, right? 

Anyway, a help forum is still a good idea.

I need help to finish a project.  I have finished a game for my technology class, and the first level works fine (it's scrolling).  But when I go to the second level to the sixth level, it launches my sprite towards the top of the game screen and he won't come down.  Help!

Well use this script to make your person go down, called gravity.

<when green flag clicked>
<set{ gravity } to ( -0.0 )>     This gravity set -0.0, If you set them as  -0 or 0 the mistake happen...

<change x by( <{ gravity }>    <repeat(          or       <forever>  I prefer Forever.
                                            <end>                     <end>                                         


<when green flag clicked>
<set{ gravity } to( 0.0
<forever>
  <change x by( <{ gravity }>
<end>

<when green flag clicked>
<set{ jump }to( 0
<forever>
<if> << <key[ up or space  ]pressed?> <and> <( <{ jump }> <=> 0 )>  >>
        <set{ jump }to( 1
        continue jump script.
<end>


Gravity code now.

<when green flag clicked>
<forever>
  <if> << <( <{ jump }> <=> 0 )> <and> <<  <not> <touching color[ floor color >> >>
     <repeat until> <touching color[ floor color
       <change{ gravity }by( speed of fall , like "-4 or -2 anyway it must equal number.
        <end>   
  <else>
      <set{ gravity }to( 0.0
  <end>


Test it! I'm sure it'll work... Tell back if it's actaully worked. 

thanks for replying i learned how to make the bullet shoot. If you want you can see my game that i made. I learned how to make powerups and it is pretty cool but it wasn't what you probably had in made but just check it out

CHatter, you get two variables, X Pos and Y Pos. While moving, you set the variables to your location. Create a sprite of just the walls. Then put If toucking Walls, set X to: X Pos and Set Y to: Y pos.

Hope that helped.

switenky, your idea is great, but you seem relativly new here. Perhaps you should wait until you have a little more experiance? What if people started asking you for health bars, dual systems of gravity, 360 degrees algoriths and such? Not saying that many people use that, but it could happen. Just a thought.

TheSaint, my dad taugh me alot thing he knew how, now I know a lot, like velocity, even Scrolling or health bar. Plus math programming, like ABS or SIN

Switenky...wow you're cool!!!! Ok I am new here and me and my dad are learning scratch together. Anywayz...ok here is my problem..... ok we are doing our first game....similar to pac man.  When our character moves...it doesn't stay within the game.  it goes through the walls (game walls).  How do we make the character stay within the game design?  Thank you!!!!!! 

Chatter, I did that before, too. I got that idea it worked properly.  But I decided to delete it. But you can see..
       http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/bigB/15121 Is where I got script from. SO, you can copy that script.     

I never have or played Halo. I don't sure what you means, but here's script

<when green flag clicked>
<reset timer>

<when green flag clicked>
<forever>
  <set{ time: }to( <timer>

I hope this helps all new scratchers
