Second Tutorial: Jumping and Falling

Hey guys! Back again. Another simple tutorial. This one will show you how to make your character jump onto and fall off of a platform. Just like last time there are many ways we could do this but I'll be showing you the simplest way that I know.

I'm not going to type this out unless you guys want. That way I have more time to do tutorials, but if you want me to let me know.

First Tutorial!

Hey everyone! Sorry this took so long. It won't take so long next time. I was going to put the tutorial on the day before yesterday but after recording the tutorial like 10 time I found out that Blogspot doesn't like that kind of file. So I recorded it again with a different screen recorder and found its also in the wrong format. Now I converted it so I can put it on. I will have the video and write down all the steps below it. The link to scratch is here. Email me at scratchtipsandtricks@gmail.com if you have any questions.

First open Scratch.

Click on stage

Go to background

Double click the white background

Draw a straight black line somewhere on it

Save it and click on sprite one

Click on control in the upper left corner

Drag "When green flag clicked" onto the surface

Drag the cat to where you want it

Go to Motion and drag in "Go to X:--- Y:---"

Make sure its connected to the first block

Also, make sure its X and Y are the same numbers that are below the sprite picture

Try it out if you want

Go to control and drag in a "When ------- Key pressed" block

Make sure it says "When Space Key pressed"

Go to Looks

Drag in "Say -------- for --- secs"

Have it say what you want"

Try it!

Go to control and drag in two "When ------ Key pressed"

Have one say "When Right Key pressed " and the other say "When Left Key pressed "

Go to motion and drag in two of the "Change X by ----"

Put them under the two new blocks

The one under Right key needs to say "Change X by 2"

The one under Left key needs to say "Change X by -2"

Try it out

Click on costumes

Delete the second one and copy the first one

Double click on the copied one and switch it so it faces to the Left

Go back to the script tab, Then go to looks

Drag two of the "Change costume to -------" so that they are above the two "Change X by ----"

Make sure to change them so he faces the right way when he moves

Try it out

This should be it. If you have any questions let me know! Thanks for reading and watching!

First Post

Hello everyone! My "name" is Rapidninja. I will be teaching you all how to use scratch. First though I'll tell a little bit about me. When I was about 9 my dad taught me the basics of Perl(A programming language for those of you who don't know.). Then around May of 2009 I decided I wanted to make some iPhone and iPod Touch applications. So I learned C++. While poking around, looking at programming stuff, I found Scratch. I started using it in my spare time and loved it. I could make games fast. So today I decided to help beginners, especially for people with no programming background, how to make cool projects with Scratch. If you have any questions comment or better yet email me at: scratchtipsandtricks@gmail.com. I'll post my first video tutorial later today or tomorrow. Thanks for reading!
