how do u make your sprite move using arrow keys?
There are two common ways. The first:
The second:
The second way is a better choice - it's all in one script, and it's smoother. The first way is sort of sticky, and you have to hold the key for a bit before you move rapidly.
Note that you can change the amount of X and Y the sprite moves by - increasing the amount will increase the speed that the sprite moves at, and the opposite for decreasing the amount.
Any questions?

You can't make the background scroll itself. However, you can use Sprites to make a background and scroll those, similar to the one in Archmage's project

to do a timer, lets say you want to make it count down from ten,y ou should name the variable "time" your script should be something like this:
*When Green Flag is Clicked*{Repeat Until<(Time)=1>[change Time by -1]} i hope that helped! 
To keep score, if you want to do something like, a soccer goal, you should name the variable "score" and the sprites "ball" and "goal" then do the variable stuff on the goal's script, the script would be like this: *When Green Flag is Clicked* {Forever{If<touching Ball>[Change Score by 1]}} try it! it should work!
