First of all, don't be so pessimistic. When you try something new, you may stink at it at first, or may be "born for it".

There are many ways to learn Scratch! The Scratch design studio has projects to help you with Scratch as well as the Scratch website. Another good way is to play the projects, download them, and study the code to see how they work. That helped me learn Scratch (after all, I self-taught myself!). In the Scratch program, you can find out how each block works by right clicking the block and selecting help. Also, there are Scratch books you can use to help you out.

Here are some links:
http://scratch.mit.edu/galleries/view/124763 - For the current design studio. This has tutorials.

http://www.amazon.com/Scratch-1-4-Beginners-Michael-Badger/dp/1847196764/ref=pd_sim_b_2 - Another link for a book on Scratch

Check the links out, and use the forums to get help. That will help you improve Scratch!

BTW What game were you creating?

frizzlepuss893 · 2011-06-11 07:22:49

i was trying to create a game where you started by moving a ball all around that shakes really hard on your mouse. then you press space and the ball lets go to start bouncing off the walls, and the timer starts. when it hits the target, the screen goes black and the timer freezes, then it shows you the number on the timer as your score.

pretty pointless, right?

Yeah big_smile
But it is always a bad idea to give up making your first game!

that doesn't seem too pointless...
as you continue doing Scratch, you might find the knowledge to create that game again.

don't give up!

cheddargirl · 2011-06-11 11:49:05

Don't give up. You made a thread before about asking for help and multiple people have replied to it with ideas. Why not go back and check it out? smile

PlutoIsHades · 2011-06-13 19:55:26

Don't you dare give up on your first game!!!!!
Even if this game doesn't work, hopefully you've learned something that can be used to make your games later better.
At the top of the site there's a button that says "Support". Press it. It should help.
Remember: DON'T YOU DARE GIVE UP.

Welcome to Scratch and if you need help you can go to file on the Scratch download and click on open and go to sample projects. Don't copy but the scripts in those might be useful or give you ideas. Hope this helps and Don't give up! smile

Well, for those games, a script you could use a lot would be the
[blocks]<when[ button ]clicked>[/blocks]
which, if you wanted to make the button look different when you press it, could be paired with the
[blocks]<switch to costume[[/blocks]

That should get you started. If there's anything else you need to know, I'm sure anyone else on here would be happy to help you. smile

I dont think your game was that bad of an idea, and i agree with meew0, giving up is a bad idea.

My first like 20 games got deleted when my old computer crashed. sad A lot of raw material there. I couldn't upload from it either. I have sorta let it go, but i still wonder what i could have done with that stuff.

Don't be a quitter! C'mon, keep trying! Climb to the top ! wink
