Re: variable question IMPORTANT
Oh... The problem was that it didn't work when Shots was 0. (Because you can't divide by 0).
This works:
I just made it for percent. You can change it if you want decimals.
By the way, great game.
Is that good?

Yeah, it works great in a remix I'm working on. This is a GREAT game!!
Question: when Accuracy is set to a percentage, is there any way to get rid of all the decimals??? Seeing something like: 83.574639485756% just doesn't do it... :-/

I messed around with it and couldn't find any trick. The only thing I can think of is just get rid of the join and put the percent outside the variable. That's not as cool though...

Re: variable question IMPORTANT
You could try multiplying the percent by a power of ten, rounding it (change it by -.5 first), and dividing it... I did that, and it worked.

Hmph enjoy your fall - I get a lovely spring... without pans of new leaves.

And it seems to work too if you insert "round" into the script line for Accuracy given by scmb1:
Set (Accuracy) to [join (round (hits/shots * 100)) %]
But maybe we're saying the same thing!

Use the image BBcode for images

Like archmage said, I used BBcode. To get the images, I made the blocks on Scratch and took a screen shot. Then, I uploaded them to ImageShack (I use ImageShack because you don't need an account) and used the url in my BBcode. I find that easier to do than using the forum blocks.
About rounding: If you want no decimals, use your method. Chischb's method allows to round to certain number of decimals. For this use, I think your method works fine, but when it is necessary to be a little more precise, Chischb's would be good.

Re: variable question IMPORTANT
Thanks to archmage and scmb1 for the tips on BBcode and on rounding and decimals.
Extremely helpful!
(Now I understand better the coding when I "preview" a posting before submitting it.)
The Scratch Forums are terrific.
