Broomstix test, demo, or beta 1

http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/jallen/444256

This is the first project I have made in a long time, and it is VERY incomplete. I am posting it for some feedback to see if I should continue making it. Should you have any, please post.

More to the point, this is a modified version of Quidditch (from Harry Potter). Hit one of the black balls (Bludgers) and you end up right back where you started. Take the red ball (a Quaffle) to one of the nets and you've scored.

.:: Controls ::.

Arrow keys to move, though there is no down arrow. You also need to tap them.

.:: Bugs to be fixed ::.

- Sometimes the balls or computer player get stuck to the walls.
- You occasionally can get hit by a Bludger but still retain the Quaffle.

.:: Things to be added ::.

- Quaffle gain when knocking computer to ground.
- Better Golden Snitch.
- More difficulty levels

Thanks to the game Broomsticks by Paul Rajlich for the idea and some of the graphics!

.:: UPDATES ::.

Update number two:
Since the last update I've added a minimalistic computer player who can't really do too terribly much. He can score a goal, but if you intervene, he hasn't got a chance.

Another addition is the ability to knock the computer to the ground. You can do that by hitting him over the head.

Update number three:
The computer is now much, MUCH more capable. In fact, I find myself losing to him! I've also fixed the sticking-to-the-ground bug. Coming up next: the Golden Snitch (a tiny golden ball that flies around like crazy).

Update four:
Not too big of an update, just added difficulty levels and the like. The players also can't get stuck to the top anymore.

Update five:
The Golden Snitch is now up and running, though it does have a few faults. With the next update it'll be working. The title page also now has COLOURS!

If anyone cares, I'm adding a computer player right now.

Another update (1.3):

The computer is now much, MUCH more capable. In fact, I find myself losing to him! I've also fixed the sticking-to-the-ground bug. Coming up next: the Golden Snitch (a tiny golden ball that flies around like crazy, catching it means the end of the game and 150 pts to the catcher!).

Bugs fixed:
- The ground is no longer "sticky"

I've also decided to de-spammify my account and share it on an alternate: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/jallen/366561

Really cool game, it's amazing how the CPU works, you just need to add in down arrow xD
