Snow

Does anybody know how to make it look like it's snowing in scratch? I've tried a few ways, and can't get it.

Thanks.

Re: Snow

Try drawing a background with snow, then making another one with the flakes in slightly differant places, and put this in the Stages script:
<when green flag clicked>
<repeat( 10
<next costume>
<wait( 0.2 )secsc>

you can change the "Repeat () times" to how ever long you want it to snow. Or if you want it to keep snowing forever, use this:

<when green flag clicked>
<forever>
<next costume>
<wait( 0.2 )secsc>

Re: Snow

Try this out... i've not spent a lot of time making it pretty, but it's a start for whatever you're working on!

Re: Snow

I always just make a sprite with a bunch of white dots then have that rotate
It works well most of the time

couldn't see that in your projects - put one online - it might be just what Spriteman needs

It doesn't look that good, actually

Re: Snow

RHY3756547 made a nice snow project last year - it's a bit more complicated than some methods, but it looks really cool  big_smile  I guess a simplified/adjusted version of the scripts in that might work (perhaps putting more snowflakes per sprite, on the same level, or removing the settling part of the script, or however you'd need to adjust it). It shows a  different method to tackling making snowfall.

The project is here.
