try my new game cube field http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/m44/382305

use the arrow keys to survive as long as you can in the cubefield. there is also a collector mode where you collect as many coins as you can. you can turn on and off music and sfx (sound effects) in options. the game gradually gets harder. post your high score for both games in a comment.

It is pretty cool. Hard to get coins. You can make some pretty cool games!

I agree, you are a scratch legend

try it out!!!

shrash · 2009-01-17 21:13:54

I did, it's good! And I personally think stick assassain is your best project (sorry if I spelled it wrong)

hey m44 to me there are the 3 greatest scratchers are archmage, you, and kuri. If archmage is a 10 on a scale from 1 to 10 what do you think you are? (you can go off the chart)

it depends on what you mean. if you mean game maker i think maybe 11, but if you mean programmer i think about a 9. overall i'll say 10.

I would say as I programmer I am a 6-7.

There are many things I would like to do in scratch but can't because scratch isn't capable. I also prefer not to make many large games because it takes up too much time.

Really, you have to try some real programming languages (like java) before you can rate yourself as a programmer. Scratch does a bad job of teaching the finer points of programming.

I've tried a thing called Small Basic and Hackity Hack, But they don't have a community like scratch, that's why scratch is better

They have communities. Just google search for small basic or ruby programming communities.

In gereral programming? Or in strictly game making in scratch?

Ok, as a general programmer your 6-7, but as a scratch programmer your 10-11.

I'm probably 7. I understand a lot of the stuff just I don't make that many games.

In general programming 1-3 out of 10 (I haven't seen you do other programming things, if you can show me other things you have made that number can change)

In scratch game programming 7.5-8 out of 10
Again this is based on what I have seen. It is possible that you have a super amazing piece of coding somewhere on your hard drive that would boost you score.

The best scratch game on the website would probably score an 8.5 - 9 and would probably be either archknight's adventure or archery champion.

It is very difficult to create a quality game in scratch. Scratch is very good at simple projects but is just horrible at making large commercial type games.

I am investing an outrageous amount of time into programming super smash scratch which should be about 9.5- 10 out of 10. I really do feel the limitation of scratch, laggy block movement, poor cpu efficiency, difficulty to handle long scripts, and the list goes on.

I actually think that you are very, very good for your age. I mean, you are lets say, 12 years old and you are dealing with arrays and formulas, which is pretty good.

The one thing I suggest if you want to continue programming is ditch scratch. Seriously, you have learned all that is possible, any further attempt to learn programming from scratch would hurt you and cause you to develop really bad habits.

For example, you array collision project, it is very good for scratch but in other languages you can use multi dimensional arrays which are more efficient. Also, those sensing sprites everyone uses, there are other resources in other languages that can replace those sprites.

I really recomend you give greenfoot a try.
http://www.greenfoot.org/

It teaches you how to program interactive project in real java (no blocks or whatnot) and it really gives you a good understand of how to program. It will be much harder to learn but it will be much more rewarding.
