Re: I want a basic orbit thing
Well, you might try this: Make a sun sprite and then an earth sprite. On the earth sprite, set the costume center somewhere away from the planet. Then on the earth script, set it to go to the sun's location and forever turn 1 degree. Then make a moon and set the costume center somewhere far from the image of the moon. Then on the scripts write a code that calculates the points on the circle with a radius of the lenght of the earth sprite, and have the moon go to that location and forever turn 1 degree. It's a bit complicated, but it should work.

Nice! I have a sudden urge to dowload... and add more planets! (Try stamping the moon... it looks really cool!)
