Scratch

Nice game!

Try using the Timer from the Sensing commands:

When Green Flag Clicked - Reset Timer  (you need to do this for each level too)

When testing if touching Sprite3 include a test:

if Timer < 45
Broadcast Win
Else
Broadcast Lost

Instead of 45 make a variable and reduce the value for each level.

When I press the Green Flag it only has the white outline for a second and dosen't work!

You should not need to change anything so that it stops working. Just add the timer bits.



This is the general idea - although this will not reset for each level etc, etc.

Never mind I think what I'll do is I'll do a number coundown changing "costumes" each second and when I recieve lose return to beggining.

Is that right?

make a variable for all sprites called "score"

have a big game over sprite

when green flag clicked
    hide
    set score to 0

when I receive eat_fish
    change score by 1

when I receive eat_sunglasses
    show
    move to front
    stop all

put this in a sprite....[blocks]( <when green flag clicked><set{time  }to( 50(<forever><change{time  }by( -1<if><{( time <=> 0 )<stop all>) [/blocks]

Hope that helps.

how do you make it so that after a certain amount of time the game stops?????

When the green flag is clicked, you make the game reset the timer. Make it so when the timer equals a certain amount, it stops all.

If this doesn't work, use a variable instead.

Better yet, make it so that when the timer is GREATER than a given amount, it stops all.  It's not a good idea to try to test on an exact comparison of a floating point number (number with a decimal place in it).  The internal representation of the number doesn't always line up with what you see on the variable display and the match might not happen.

Ooh! I remember now... Scrach doesn't seem to sense quick things like using the equal sign. Using the greater sign would work better.
