1 Block Generates Everything?
I seen a game with one sprite that makes a whole level.
How do they do that? I try to look at it but its hard to understand and do.

Re: 1 Block Generates Everything?
You mean those 1-sprite 1-script projects?
Well, they use only one script to do stuff.

Re: 1 Block Generates Everything?
Basically, the sprite keeps track of things through a list or a bajillion variables. Then, it stamps what it's kept track of. Every time something changes, it goes back and re-stamps it. You can only do it with limited things - primarily grid-type games like SimCity or Minesweeper or Minecraft (though that can really only be done this way 2-dimensionally. But it's really useful in that you don't have to make eighty billion sprites to do the same thing.

Re: 1 Block Generates Everything?
Well, using mine as an example:
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/Smozzick/2114427
(shameless plug).
What I do is have one block of a specific size and stamp it over the screen using the <stamp> block. Whenever I want to change the appearance of the block I change the costume of it.
To get lots of ground done at once I use loops, one loop for columns and one for rows.

Re: 1 Block Generates Everything?
Further explanation since I can't edit...
In the loop I would do something like:
Loop Start
change x by BlockWidth
Stamp
Loop End
What the stamp actually does is copy an image of the sprite to the stage so make sure that you don't try to have a sprite stamping onto another sprite - the image'll get sent behind it.

I’m not sure what you’re asking. You just make a script that takes care of everything. 
Nothing more than that. There’s not secret word, or anything that magically makes the script pop up.
