Right-ho. 
For an arrow keys game:
CAT
<when[ left ]key pressed>
<repeat until><< <not> <key[ left ]pressed?> >>
<change x by( -10
<when[ right ]key pressed>
<repeat until><< <not> <key[ right ]pressed?> >>
<change x by( 10
<when[ up ]key pressed>
<repeat until><< <not> <key[ up ]pressed?> >>
<change y by( 10
<when[ down ]key pressed>
<repeat until><< <not> <key[ down ]pressed?> >>
<change y by( -10
<when green flag clicked>
<forever>
<if><touching[ DOG
<change{ Touching }by( 1
<wait until><< <not> <touching[ DOG >>
DOG
<when green flag clicked>
<forever>
<point towards( CAT
<move( 10 )steps>
Hope this helps! You can try using other blocks to add effects and stuff (have a look in "Looks" and "Sound")

Re: Need help with making a game.
Heres mine:
(for cat[sprite one])
<when green flag clicked>
<forever>
<if><mouse down?>
<point towards( mouse/pointer
<move(4)steps>
<end>
<end>
(for dog[sprite two])
<when green flag clicked>
<forever>
<point towards( sprite1
<move(2)steps>
<end>
Instructions:
You play as a cat and click to move. The dog only goes half as fast as you.
