Scratch

Hello! Today I will tell you how to make a basic shooter game.
First of all, Make a crosshair. Leave a space directly in the middle of it. Just do it. Trust me.

Now, for this next part, there are two ways to do this. If you want the crosshair to follow your mouse, go to (1.) If you want it to follow the arrow keys, (You know, when you click the left mouse button, it goes left, ect.) then go to (2.)

(1.) First of all, go to Control, then drag in the command, <when green flag clicked>

into the scripts section for your sprite, the crosshair. Then put in <forever>
                                                                                              <end>
under the 1st one. Then insert the command

<go to x    )y    Inbetween forever. For x, put in   <mouse x>  For y, put in  <mouse y>

Also, put in    <go to front>   if you put the space in the middle of the corsshair.

Then, when you hit the green flag, it should follow your mouse.

(2.) (optional) Put in  <when[  ]key pressed> from command. Then put in up arrow, right arrow, left arrow, or down arrow. Then put in  <move( 10 )steps>  You can change the speed if you want. Put that in for all the other arrows too.


Now you have to make targets. Make a sprite, any sprite, It won't matter. Then put in the commands   <when green flag clicked>   from commands, under that put 

<go to x   0 )y   0   Then put in   <when[ Target or what ever you named it ]clicked> 
from commands, under that put 
         
           <go to x   <pick random( 200 )to( -200 )y   <pick random( 170 )to( -170

The green ones are from Numbers, and you can put them in the box from motion.


   That's my tutorial! If you don't get it, go to
