Re: Mesh - how to get it, use it, and program with its features

I have a mac, and when I right click, a bunch of circles appear. I tried control click, and that doesn't work. Help?

That sounds like you're Alt-clicking...  hmm

Are Windows right-clicks the same as Mac right-clicks? I have a Windows, and I don't know much about Mac... ^_^

On a mac you option-click (click while pressing the option key)

Or, if you have a non-Apple (two-button) mouse, right click works two.

Mesh projects don't have to be games! They can be anything you want - just like normal Scratch projects.  smile

That is right. Kinda sucks how it fails miserable online.

He's saying he's activated mesh, thus, feedback that your guide works! Though he'd didn't really need to quote someone.

Re: Mesh - how to get it, use it, and program with its features

My little note: I got from a different tutorial that you close Scratch without turning fillscreen back on. When I did, I reopened it and it said it couldn't find the changes file and some other one.  yikes  But I fixed it: Turn fillscreen back on, then select the other option in the dev menu: save image for end-user. It fixed that annoying I can't find these files thing.  smile


bye 1.4, we all loved you. but we all outgrew the site. 2.0 is a welcome change.

Re: Mesh - how to get it, use it, and program with its features

Let me rephrase that. I need to know how you can press things on the keyboard of one computer and press the same keys on another and control two different sprites. Help?

On each computer, when a key is pressed on them, have them broadcast to the other computer and tell them to move the sprites.

Re: Mesh - how to get it, use it, and program with its features

I see a few people are having trouble with the mac right clicking, but I have found a solution  big_smile ! Go to the bottom section of the browser, and on the left, above the scroll bar, there is a minus button. Click that, and you will see "accept (s)" somewhere towards the bottom.

Hope that helps, it sure did for me!

Re: Mesh - how to get it, use it, and program with its features

@Jonathanb: It would probably be a good idea to create a new change set, and name it something like 'Jwosty-mesh' (Replace 'Jwosty' with name or username [optional]), so if you mess up you can get the original Scratch back. One time that hapeened to me and I had to re install it...  tongue

Re: Mesh - how to get it, use it, and program with its features

Is there any tutorial for making mesh games?

Edit: I found one.

Edit: A new question

Can you make a mesh game with only one program?

Yes, just make it so both pc's run the same program. This is done by auto generating numbers of the projects,
