How do you make a game that saves?
I am working on a remix of Stick Assassin and I wanted to make it save? How do I do this?

You can't. 
There's ways to make passwords to save though, but I'm not sure how. You could probably find something by searching.
I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

You Use The Lists To Save The Area, Health. All That Stuff.. If You Want I Can Make The Save For You

Lists can be used to some extent, or save codes, but neither is a terribly good solution.
What annoys me about the lack of saving is how terribly simple it would be to implement... even just a plaintext list of variable contents would be a start (with XML being the ideal).

Maybe you can make it so that if you want to save you download the game and save it on the scratch program. when you come back and press the flag nothing resets but it activivates movement and that stuff

Re: How do you make a game that saves?
My thinking is that there should be a sprite that saves what room the guys in, what enemies, where the enemies are, where the guy is, what health, e.t.c and then it will scramble the stuff into a random code. When you go back to the game, it will unscramble the code and put you back to your game. This solves the problem of the user being able to implement like 10000 health or something. I just dont know how you would do that.

As I linked above, this is pretty much exactly what I've been working on lately. The code I'm currently using isn't exactly random, but it could certainly be tweaked to be less predictable. (I wanted to do it with alphanumerics, actually, but without string manipulation it's not really possible.)

Just raise the number in question to the 4th and then when you decipher the code take the sqrt of the sqrt.
I've taken a long hiatus, but I still visit sometimes. Give me some time to answer any messages you post on my projects!
