What's one character that's going to be in your virtual town? :D

[@jeditz8]

A Man

[@joinadduk]

I'm doing your scratch profile picture as my character

[@anshparasharworld1547]

Avery

[@jms406]

Avery because she has a walking animation or abby

[@ancient_egypt23]

A cat

I like how these tutorials have been getting increasingly more complex. Personally, I believe that an effective Scratch tutorial would not only show the viewer how to code things, but also what the blocks they're using do. This can help the viewer create more creative and extravagant things in the future by themselves.

Tip: If you want smoother movement, drag in the “if then” block. Next drag in the “when ___ pressed” block from the sensing catagory then fill in the blank with the arrow keys and conect it to the if then block.

[@pfirmal616]

Thnk u the other problem is just the right key doesn't work

Exactly what I was looking for! I was never successful in making my own RPG, thank you too much! Oh I've got a few ideas like a shop, different sprites we can interact with, or even the sprites' own houses!

Link?

[@Т1000-м1и]

1 week ago, recommended randomly. You should make a video explaining that scratch rendering is a shortcut and you can make your own rendering stuff. It would've been helpful knowing that to me as a kid.

[@Мойканал72]

This can be done with clones

[@thekidsos]

getting better every video i used scratch for like 3 years? and im not stopping

You don't have to "hover over choose a sprite and click choose," you can simply just press choose a sprite

“Flip sprite” Literally the next costume: am I a joke to you?

"But you might want a top down background." Scratch background library: "There's no such thing as luck."

[@bradman7200]

Omg, the first clip is a remix of one of my games! Totally unexpected and very cool to see haha. Love these videos, keep up the good work :3

[@RafieGames]

Fun Fact: The arrow has a costume that makes it horizontal. It's very useful and I don't use the flip horizontal button, I personally think these tutorials are good for new scratchers

[@miomarble3423]

OMG! I didn't realise you were in the Scratch Team! This will help so much with my Warriors RPG! (oh, I'm the one who commented on your Create A Clan thingy btw and you said the comment made your day...) Thank you again so much for the tutorial!

Hello anyone who's reading this! If you have many places in your world, you can also do this for each character! When Green Flag Clicked

[@chitochu4423]

Extra code that might help: Add a point in direction block below the left and right controls to make the character change directions. Be sure to add a when green flag clicked event block and under it set direction to left right.

[@pixlol]

Ohohohohoho! I have an idea for an rpg game. It would include fighting and bosses. Basically the legend of zelda , but also not. Also, you could make a “hitbox” sprite at every end of a path and make it so that if you go to the end of a path, you go to another place. I’ll try an make a tutorial for that.

yup

[@huckleberry256]

Yep! There are actually TONS of neat and helpful tricks you can do in the vector editor by holding shift or alt. For example, resizing something while holding alt makes it resize around its center. (I'm not sure about the bitmap editor, I don't use it that often)
