Hai. This is a collection of different projects you can do, with ranging difficulty levels
New scratcher - Great ways to start your career:
Movie - A short animation. Good way to get introduced to Broadcast blocks
Mouse avoider - A game where you try to get your mouse away from someone who's chasing it. Good way to get introduced to sensing blocks
Dice game - A game where you role dice. good way to get introduced to variables
Platformer - A game where you jump on platforms to reach a goal. Good practice for games
(Ill add more when I come up with them, feel free to suggest them)
Intermediate - This is the hardest place. you're strained for project ideas and basically stuck in the middle. Here are some ways to get up to Expert:
Simulator - A game that tries to simulate something. Duh. fun to make and play!
Rpg - Role playing game. These are kinda hard but not quite at expert level
Arcade game - A little minigame for people to play when they're bored
Fps - First person shooter, where youre playing from your person's view. These are easier than most people think if you don't want to be able to move
Scrolling game - This is an improvement upon the platformer game. all it takes is one script added to the background (Which becomes a sprite) and POOF! you have a scroller! dont make em too big though, because they lag A LOT. I would know.
Zombie game - ZOMBIES? RUN!!! This game will work in most any game type.
Suggestions for more are welcome and appreciated!
Expert - Here you are, you finally made it. what now? pick something here!
Rts - This is by far one of the most ridiculously difficult projects I myself have ever attempted. Standing for Real Time Strategy, these are usually done in bird's eye view form. You control units as they attempt to do a goal. What makes it so hard is the fact that you will often have to do infinite sprite duplication (If you dont have a unit limit) and sprite duplication can only convieniantly be done with Mesh
Mesh chatroom - A fun place you and other scratchers can go. Unfortunately, Panther and other scratch mods do not work on the scratch website.
Tycoon - A game where you build a city. This is sorta on the border of intermediate and expert, but I finally put it here.
Once again, feel free to suggest ideas

scrolling games should actually be more on the expert side, especially if want to make it a 1s1s scroller with good graphics.
Im actually not a fan of the whole 1s 1s theme. Im sick of people ruining an awesome game in an attempt to make it only one sprite, with only one script. And besides, the theory behind scrolling is very simple. All you have to do is stick in a script so that everything moves to a position relative to yourself. What was it? something like
Forever:
move to x (X position*4 hundred and something)
move to y (Y position*4 hundred and something)
if Abs of X position > 4 hundred and something or Abs of Y position > 4 hundred and something, hide. Else, show See? Thats it! A little math, a little scripting, bam!

What do you mean by "get the project to know what it does"?

wow! great ideas! what level do you think i am? i think i am between expert and intermidiate. i have made 1s1s1c scrollers and platforms, and also simulations.
you should add games related to space and such, as in running around a planet to somwhere.
can you get a link of a rts or whatever. i really don't get that.

Oh, an rts is like, say this, or my (sad) attempt to make one, this thing over here.
It's a strategy game that runs in real time, not turn based.
