What editors are you guys using for your code?
Data-Hawk
I have no strings on me.
So you know C then, what are its use mainly ? Windows programs or wider stuff like Android apps ?
What's the difference with C++ or C# ?
More important, is it worth it to learn it now ? Does it have a future or will it be outdated soon ?
FYI, I'm not into this stuff to make money but just to learn. From what I saw the course will also take on PHP (and Mysql I hope) and that's what I want because I need it to manage some sites I built, more efficiently. It's only for so much that HTML alone can pretend unfortunately
But if I can learn to build android apps, well, that will be another string to my bow. And I don't think I will be able to do so only with that course obviously but with a solid basis, one can build a good efficiently.
hey nothing wrong with trying to make some $$& while your at it. lol
Currently on my iPhone so i'll give a more detailed replied once i get to a desktop.
@Liu Kang
How difficult would it be for me to make a three sprite racing game 1 player vs two cpu, semi infinite scroller with a time limit like "reach this point" or you eliminated. It would be a shooter /obstacles falling too
or would that be too much for a noob
And can scratchh do that
That's ambitious breh 
I'd advise you to avoid the "vs two cpu" thing which seems hard to implement as you have to build some AI. Obviously Scratch can do this because one of the top game is a 3D chess game
But for us beginners I think we should begin slowly (as stated in the problem set, the first title is "be reasonable" which is a good advice) because if you aim too high you may be annoyed not to successfully build your game and that may decrease your will to follow the next lessons.Otherwise, your idea is good and really feasible IMO above all if you keep it simple :
If you make it an horizontal scroller :
- up and down directions for the car
- define a number of possible tracks (or not)
- launch obstacles randomly on those tracks (may be moving vertically for a harder challenge ?)
- make it a shoot em up if you can
- make different levels by then increasing the number of obstacles or the speed of the scroller...
- and so on...

Yeah, I know. I just meant that that was not my main reason. But if it can help money or career-wise I won't spit on it
Show it@Liu Kang , @midwesthiphop
I programmed a car(driving) game with rocks and oil spils comin up. Got cactus, trees on the side of the road and everything ...shyt looks like a fukking nintendo game

yea i got to add the music and engine sound(Yeah, I know. I just meant that that was not my main reason. But if it can help money or career-wise I won't spit on it
Show it
) when you hit the arrow keys. I'll upload it when i'm done.... Do any of yall know how to add transparency to sprites??
In "Looks" : "Set *ghost* effect" which is basically opacity. 0 for opaque to 100 for transparent.yea i got to add the music and engine sound(
OP and the rest
i keep starting and starting over on games breh lol start with a game about a crab that eats crab cakes that was

@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
