Hi from Arizona

Hello...I'm very very new to Scratch and I'm just here to learn as much as I can, so I'll be reading A LOT before I can contribute...but I hope to get there soon. Thanks!

Re: Hi from Arizona

Hey!
Here's some advice:

Never use
<when[  ]key pressed>

Instead, use:
<when green flag clicked>
<forever>
<if> <key[  ]pressed?>
<end>
<end>

Hey, ya learn something new everyday.
Also, Why Oh Yoo (Spell it out) turns into Pikachu today as an April Fools Joke. SO thats what it is.

Re: Hi from Arizona

Actually, it's okay to use "When <button> Pressed" sometimes

[Forever
[if <key pressed>]]

works better for some things, but not always

Re: Hi from Arizona

I think it looks better when everything starts on flag though...

Re: Hi from Arizona

It doesn't really matter if it looks better

Once you're not very new and you understand how it all works, then you can worry about how nice the scripting looks

Until then, the simplest way is the best way

Hello, dthomas23! I live in Arizona, also! I live in Tucson. Some helpful advice, broadcasting is better than timing.
to broadcast, you use the                             
[block]<broadcast[ [/block]

or

[block]<broadcast[  ]and wait c>[/block]

block. they are both the same. Then, you use the

[block]<when[  ]key pressed>[/block]

block and connect the blocks you want on the bottom. It is better than the

[block]<wait(  )secsc>[/block]

block.

They're very similar but the first two aren't the same, TVF.
