No seriously.  I know it's a silly idea and doesn't have much foundation, but would it be interesting or not?

That's why scrolling was invented.  And I've written scripts like these before, it's not unbelievably complicated, just a tad challenging.

Playing games with scrolling makes my brain melt.

Well I have a beta and as johndo thought, I'm running into problems, though not ones I expected.  I've got a rudimentary planet engine (no walls yet or attacking) but the enemy is having some trouble. 

When making the enemy follow you, I make it check its direction relative to the planet with your own.  What it does is try to make its direction relative to the planet the same as yours.  But sometimes (when certain angles are made) the AI chooses to take the long way around the planet to reach you.

Here's the beta

HOW THE AI WORKS NOW:
Basically (because I don't want to use its actual direction which could change during an attack or when hit) the AI has a variable called RoDir which is set to:

Atan ((xpos-xpos of planet)/(ypos-of ypos of planet) [with special circumstance like dividing by 0 taken care of].

A RoDir variable is also set for you with the same equation.  How do I make it take the shortest route to make its RoDir variable equal to yours?

I've tried:
If [AI Ro Dir]-[Your RoDir]>0 move clockwise
If [AI Ro Dir]-[Your RoDir]<0 move counterclockwise
Which is all fine in dandy but the AI acts odd when making certain angles with the planet.  Sure it gets to you eventually but sometimes it takes the long way around.

Does anyone else have a clue as to what I'm talking about and/or can help?

Hmmm.... I don't usually do those kind of scripts, so I can't help. But I have one suggestion; think if there is any other way to make the enemy go around your direction, or look over the script and try and find a possible error.
These probably won't help but it's something

I swore I'd never make another "Finale Ultra" (My Super Smash Bros-esque game) (if the first was Finale Ultra, how could I make four??), but I had a crazy idea that could either be insanely stupid, or one of the greatest ideas in Scratch Super Smash Bros. projects.

Super Smash Brothers Galaxy.

Basically a Super Smash Bros. game with planetary gravity (still 2D).  The stage is a big orb with platforms.  Maybe a stage with several planets.

I can write all the scripts, I've done things like it before, but is it worth it?  What do you think?

Go for it.

You could do:

if "Player Circle Position" + 180 > "AI Circle Position"
{
Go one way
}
Else
{
go other way
}

Here, have a small pistol.

Now do everything you can to shoot the moon.

I wish you luck.

I don't like playing any games involving Mario but, tell me when it's out I am so gonna play it!

It's not going to have any Super Smash Bros, characters, that's just an example to show you what the kind of gameplay is.  It's gonna be called Orbital Showdown.

Awesome! Now I can play the game which full happiness 

its not innovative, he just took 2 different concepts and turned them into one game
