Scratch

There are TONS on the site.

Although, most are just demos.

It's pretty much impossible to make a good Tower Defense game in Scratch, because that many sprites will completely crash it.

You wouldn't actually have to make too many sprites. Make a decent amount of sprites, and just change the rate they come in. E.X. = Level 1 (after sprites "dies") wait 10-ish seconds, then on level 22, wait 1 second! It looks like there's more but you just change how long it take for them to get back into the game.

How would stamping do anything? Stamps go on the background (only, I think), and for tower defense, you need moving sprites.

yup. piece of pie.

variables, stamping, and

WO-LA.

In many cases it would be more efficient to use many sprites instead of 1 stamped sprite because it would take the stamped sprites too long to stamp everything. So a proper tower defense game is impossible in scratch. However, you can still make a scaled down TD game with a limit of 10 of each kind of sprite.

It doesn't matter if the towers are set or not

Render with stamp, clear, re-calculate variables, repeat.

BTW I'm trying to remix an engine ATM

Actually,check the link I submitted in my last post.THAT game uses lists to recors the position of a stamped sprite and the tower type.A sensor sprite then goes to each position,and if it senses an enemy then it broadcasts a signal to the appropriate projectile.

how do you make it so that it checks all of the list? so you can have infinite towers.

You just use the length of list block for how many times you need the area to check,and you use a counter to change which one it checks.

The only way to run a scaled down TD at reasonable speed in scratch is to stamp the towers. All you need from the towers are the coordinates since they don't move. All the enemies and projectiles in real TD games is what scratch can't handle.

Lol. I'm dead. Back to fruit catching rhinocerouses.
