Remember when you first joined scratch? Learning what to do? Ever Epicly  Failed trying to make this amazing thing?

Introduce yourself here!

Please Post your All-Time Beginner Fails, give us guys a heads up!

Thankyou!
Well, so far my All-Time epic Beginner Fail is this;

I spent 1 and a half hours tryign to make another maze game, i tried to share it, but the file size was to big!    But that's not all, i tried to delete some more stuff, still wouldn't work, then i tried to convert the movement of some things to reduce the script.

Well it worked pretty well, so i decided to copy all of that script onto my other sprites, i clicked the green flag, and they all appeared in the same co-ordinates,
FACE-PALM FAIL D: I just ended up ruining and deleting 1 and a half hours of work. 
Well, so far my all-time epical beginner fail

So go ahead, don't be embarassed, post your Fails! 

Hahah! Al, I failed epicly by forgetting to save my project on a memory stick so I could upload it (don't ask) and then when I saved it on the memory stick and DELETED the copy on my laptop, it didn't WORK! So I lost it forever lol 

I used to think I was horrible, and all I would do is complain about how bad I was. I am now happy to say that I am a pretty good game maker.
-12three-

My first project was a game with 4 buttons that just had to be clicked in a certain arrangement. It had 32 scripts. I think this topic is great. It's a reminder that we were all new at one point, and should be more accepting of newbies still learning the ropes.

Lol, mine worst fail of epicness ever was when I didn't know how to hide sprites, so I had a separate costume that was just a dot, lol...

Lol that must've took you a long time if you made a huge game with loads of sprites

Ha! Al, have you seen how BIG Hamsterville is? I believe it is the largest project ever with 230 sprites and 2451 scripts!

My first game was extremely funny... 
It was supposed to be a meteor dodging game, but ended up looking like meatballs trying to crash into a pen (Plane  ) So I called it Meateor Survival

Lol! That reminds me of a film "Cloudy with a chance of meatballs" XD

When I started I tried to make an animation, but I didn't know you had to click green flag to start it! XD When I finally found the flag, I didn't know you had to have the [When Green Flag Clicked] block at the beginning! xD

When I first got scratch, I opened it up, and started messing around and clicked the green flag but nothing happened. This was my script:

Yup. I didn't even know what blocks did.
I was so mad I punched myself, then downloaded 10 PDFs on Scratch. Then I was so mad that I punched myself AGAIN.

Well, the most epical fail of mine now is my Scratch won't upload!!! D: Soooo... yeah, i'll probably just be hanging out on the forums until my scratch gets fixed    And i don't know what TBG is, i aimed at this to be in New scratchers forum, as i intended for people to introduced themselves and post their fails, and yes, Cloudy with a Chance of meatballs IS an Epic! movie!

Yuppers, it did.
But then I saw this
[blocks] <hide> [/blocks]
and
[blocks]<show>[/blocks]
blocks,
then I thought,

I wonder what those do...

so I double click on the
[blocks] <hide> [/blocks]
block, and then my sprite disappears.
I think,

What the heck?

and

I hate being a n00b c4l<3

then I thought, the
[blocks]<show>[/blocks]
block must do something, so I double click on it too,
then my sprite reappears, and I think

Wow. I am such a n00b c4l<3 to have not known about that.

and then I waste my time deleting all the costumes and changing the scripts, and at the end of it all I said:

...

and... well yeah, thats about it.
I have no idea why I typed it like that, I mostly just felt like it, and was looking for something to do.
