@Liu Kang so i scrapped the game idea, working on a story now and am having a small issue, how do i go from one backdrop to another without the sprites, i want to progress the story so to speak, i can make the new backdrop easy, but the sprites transfer over and when i delete them they delete from the first backdrop also.


and why is scratch so even in offline mode

i did a short (very short) story too and only way i knew how to do it was hide the sprites. you can do a broadcasting message to tell the sprites to both hide and to change background when you want

yall are putting way more into scratch then i did, i made a little thing that fit the requirements and moved on. will probably come back to it another time tho

Youu have to download the scratch offline editor from the main page

As you feel honestly. If you have some time you can do them consecutively.

It's all about "hide" and "show".
If it's a story you may have a timeline so for example :
1. From 0 to 5 sec
- In stage : when flag is clicked / show backdrop 1 / wait 5 sec / next backdrop
- In sprites : when flag is clicked / show / wait 5 sec / hide
2. At 5 sec, you then have the second backdrop without the sprites

You're right but still, Scratch grants the beginner to understand the logic and a few concepts of coding
It's better to struggle at the start or to take a good amount of time (while enjoying doing so obviously) and fully acquire the right thinking than struggle afterwards because one doesn't understand the logic. So IMO @midwesthiphop, got to keep trying until he's finally achieved his project because that will mean that he has finally understood the logic.

i finished lesson 1's problem set last night. just a heads up, the mario one is harder cause you have to figure out the math and took me awhile to grasp. the coin change one is actually kind of easy - they let you do it either using modulos or loops. using modulos is easier but i made both. i have absolutely zero CS experience so if i can do it then yall can.

i know how hard this course is so im gonna try as get as far as i can. gonna put this down for a few days since i gotta focus on my day job, then go for lesson 2 on the weekend. i got really into this shyt last night

Scratch annoyed the sh*t out of me at first, having some background in coding. At first I was going to do just enough to meet the requirements but I personally felt like I wouldn't be defeated by something simple.
