i am making a snake-type game, and am using this script for the pen:

<when I receive[ Start ]
<forever>
<pen down>
<wait( <{ Dificulty }> )secsc>
<clear>
<if><( <{ Lose }> <=> 1 )>
<stop script>
<end>
<end>

And this script for losing:
<when green flag clicked>
<reset timer>
<broadcast[ start ]
<show>
<set{ Lose }to( 0
<forever>
<if><touching color[ Pen Color ]
<set{ Lose }to( 1
<hide>
<clear>
<end>
<end>

??? What's the question? And what are the sprites again?

Arrjgsdsjjdscjhcv. How to make a snake(classic arcade game) style game that makes it so that if you run into the pen, you lose.

Is it starting or not starting? Cause it already is touching that color to begin with

AlanProjects · 2008-07-23 19:55:58

Exactly. i know the pen is always touching the sprite, but i can't think of an alternative mad it is getting annoying!

AlanProjects · 2008-07-23 19:57:06

It starts fine, you just instantly lose arghakdwjhkqwjghdcjqcdjkqwbc

Its because when you draw the line with your pen you are going over it. I would suggest making the center point of the snake a few mm's from the tail of the snake so it doesn't run into it. Or sense so that when the head (Different color than body) is touching the pen color it does that.

AlanProjects · 2008-07-23 20:42:08

oh. i'll try.

AlanProjects · 2008-07-23 20:44:13

Nope. doesn't work.

Make it 2 sprites. You know, snake is a very hard game to make on Scratch FYI

AlanProjects · 2008-07-23 20:51:40

Yeah, so? it isn't really snake, more like a game where, in an ideal world, you choose your difficulty setting on a slider, which makes the pen go down for "diffficulty" seconds, and then clear. If you run into you're pen trail, you lose.

Anything like it is extremely difficult in Scratch. All I can say is good luck

Sound interesting! The tail would only be there from time to time since the Clear command would wipe it out...still, it sounds like it would be fun. You could make the nose of the sprite a different color and then test for if that color is touching the pen color...I wonder if that would work? Or...you could use a second sprite that has a rotation center that is actually on the sprite. The pen would appear at the rotation center but the sprite would not be touching the pen color.

I don't know. i'm running into problems. because when the pen is down, it always touches the sprite you instantly lose. i could post to show you, if you want. Right now i'm working on an annoying scroller.

I was making an edit when you grabbed my quote...please look back at my original post...it has some ideas that might work.

AlanProjects · 2008-07-23 21:35:38

oh, i think those are great ideas! i'll test them. I like the nose one most.

AlanProjects · 2008-07-23 21:43:35

YEAH!!!!!!! IT FINALLY WORKS! I'll POST IT SOON!!!! smile smile smile smile smile smile smile smile smile smile smile smile smile smile smile smile smile smile smile smile smile smile smile smile smile smile smile
