Re: i need some help making my first game

ok so im completely new to scratch , this is my first post and ive only had so much time with the actual program. but i already know how to do the basics of the horrible game i wanna create (but im new so i dont really care)

here are the parts ive got:

the part where you click the flag and move the ball around with your mouse where you change direction and all that and the part where when it stops it goes to start bouncing of the walls randomly. i also have the target sprite and the ball sprite and the timer.

here is what i need:

the part that makes it so that when i click and the ball starts going to bouncing off the walls and when it actually hit the target the screen freezes and so does the timer then the screen goes black and gives you your score (the number on the timer). i also need it so the the timer starts counting down when i click the mouse.

please let me know how to do these things if you know how and add a picture if possible.

(ps.please ignore my lack of grammar i just find it faster and im only in 4th grade (moving on to fifth) and add me    )

Re: i need some help making my first game

Ok, I think I can solve some of your problems, you'll need to make a variable like "GameStarted?" and put this in your stage:

This starts the timer and such, and makes sure that it doesn't restart if you click during the game.

Put this in the ball sprite's scripts:

Put this in the fade to black script:

Does that fix your problems?

Ah, whoops, it should say "fade to black sprite" not script.  It's for the sprite that makes the screen fade to black.  Its costume should just be a black rectangle the size of the stage, so that the whole thing darkens to black.

Re: i need some help making my first game

it has these problems:
the timer is a variable, right? well everything looks excactly as it should in the scripts, but the timer only starts when it hits the target and i think even if it did show up before, it wouldnt work. also, i cant find out how to stop the shaking the ball script so it goes to bounce off the walls. i put the "if" thing under it and put if space bar pressed it'll stop the script. i couldnt find a mouseclick option that would fit in the stupid if slot to stop the script so i had to also change the when stage clicked to when space bar pressed... do you know how to fix this?

Re: i need some help making my first game

Hey frizzle, and welcome to Scratch. As suggested by undefeatedgames, I am moving this to the All About Scratch section of the forums. It is used for questions about the program.

I think you could help us help you if you uploaded the project to the website. If you don't know how, just ask.


I've taken a long hiatus, but I still visit sometimes. Give me some time to answer any messages you post on my projects!
