Scratch

Just looked at the mario script (which finally opened after waiting a while) and I thought it was interesting how you handled slopes.

The player takes a very long time to load....

From what I see, I get the script. But I can't scroll down without scratch freezing.

ROFL yeah. Took me about half an hour to delete the comments. But a dedicated scratch like me just takes my time ^^

Can you upload a copy? PLEASE???

Now it's time to draw the levels.

I just fixed the script! Now it doesn't take 100 seconds to change a number in the script, but instead around a tenth of a second (if you don't know the difference, let's just say it's a MASSIVE improvement.)

Aww D:

Sorry you had to do it all manually lucario. :X

I'm just wondering, because my computer lags so I don't want to scroll down and up and down to figure out the answer:

How does dying work?

I mean, is it if you touch the death sprite? I have a feeling that it is.

(I'm thinking of adding enemies but I need to know this first).

What? How is it lagging? It's the smoothest thing evar here...


Dying works by detecting ig the player is touching the "die" sprite, then plays a hard coded animation and then broadcasts "FadetoNewLevel", but sets the "Died" variable to 1 so the fade doesn't advance the level.

If you want to do enemies then I would have to suggest adding an "if touching colour" block to that part. Making "if touching"s for a lot of enemies is just silly.

...the script is tiny, so you'll surely easily understand it.

That script is only tiny to you.I grasp the basic idea of what it's doing,and it takes advantage of the sequential order of scripts to be able to lower the sprite steadily and avoid crashing into the ground or falling too slowly.However,the movement script is slightly confusing to me.I'll probably eventually get it,but unless that comment was subtle sarcasm,then take notice that your several years older than most scratchers(according to various posts you've made)and what makes sense to you is just a bunch of variables and math functions i've yet to learn(in the case of Gale3D,not this)to me.

...anyway,nice job on the smooth sensing(especially on ramps and smooth surfaces,which are notoriously hard to do on scratch),and I expect quite a few remixes if this doesn't get buried underneath your other simulations.

I'm 14. There are a lot older than me.

Yes,but the average age for a scratcher is 10-12.True,there are several thousand scratchers well above that age,but most people might have trouble understanding it.

Here's what I have so far ^_^ http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=301336#p301336
