Scratch

This should be in all about Scratch.

And I would just use the pen.

Its a project i made that lets you draw your own character. it only runs in turbo speed, and provides nearly infinite combinations of pixels.

true but how would i align them?

So, as I'm understanding, you'd like to be able to change the looks of your player? You could easily do it with several sprites that all go to a central sprite (which could be a dot), and these sprites all have different rotation centers, adjusted so they blend together like one sprite. Then, you can allow the user to change the costumes for these sprites.

true but that might be hard especially aligning them

It just takes a bit of trial and error - it's been done before. Particularly in platformers, where there are sensors for each side, they all align to the center of the sprite.

Just sort of estimate, take a look, and make any changes that are necessary, and repeat. I'm afraid that's the minimum amount of work required to make this work, and it's been done before.

Well, it is 20x21 pixels.  I thinks that means 420+(420*419)+(420*419*418)+(420*419*418*417)...

---------- Off Topic---------

Hey! I just found something out:
(10+(10*9)+(10*9*8)...(10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 ) )/(10! )  =9864100/3628800=2.718281525...
Does that mean that the bigger number you plug in, the more accurate measure of E you get?

----------Off Off Topic--------------

And I'm sure I've seen a game that lets you chose different aspects of your character.  I just can't find it...

i didn't mean you drew the character

Like this?

yeah only you could see the sprite you were making

Really not that hard, to be honest. Just have a sprite for each changeable feature, have it switch to whatever costume you need, and go to the player position, just offset. It wouldn't even require that many scripts, depending on the project.

i don't WANT to do that. it's too hard!

Well there isn't really any other way.

yes there is. first make all possible outcomes as costumes and then put in these scripts\/

then make the same one for a boy

Dude, sprite for each feature than make the center where you want them to "connect" and have them goto each other.

And then changing the features is the easy part.

no.

This is the best way and the way it is done in commercial games. 1 sprite per character part, one script per sprite. This kind of thing is pretty basic.

it's possible, go here to my test account.
