Scratch. Ugh. 16/11/11

Its not working.
My games running, Its not dying (Like Juliannes) but it wont keep time

Im not even going to bother trying to fix it I think my game is good and ive tried EVERYTHING i can to make the time work, but it doesnt ! :(

Im going to leave my time running, with everything set up and just... hope

Back to the original

Since I got my timer to work, I've been happy :D

Until that is, I realised it wouldnt stop when I told it too after the timer reached a certain time limit -.-


so I'm going back to my original plan and making it a Score game, Ive found another(!) video on youtube, that is making a game so that should have some sort of information on setting up my score in there

The video is called How To Make A Game (Scratch) by gorance2000

Link to Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeS005-_yXE

He also has a blog im going to follow incase there are anymore videos uploaded that could help me :)

YOUTUBE! Why didnt I think of that.... (7.11.11)

Looking around the classroom, bored because I couldnt get my timer to work and had almost given up I saw Diyomera (who sits diagonal from me) fiddling with a youtube video about Scratch Programming, which is when it hit me

The answer to my timer problem could be on Youtube in a Tutorial!

I raced onto youtube and found a video called Scratch Programming Marble Racer Demo by turning358
although it may not read "Fix your timer" I considered that a race would need a timer so began to watch the video, running for 20 minutes, I almost clicked out when I found in the description box:

Description of how Scratch works followed by a demonstration of creating the marble racer program.
Components:
0:00 - 3:35 Description of components of the Scratch window
3:36 - 6:35 Painting the background green, creating track, creating the ball and finish line sprites
6:36 - 16:00 Basic up and down ball movement using arrow keys16:01- 20:20 Left & Right movement, Slow down when hitting grass, stop at finish line & display message, Timer

Next Im at the 16 minute mark on the video and waiting for it to load so I can skip to the information about how he sets the timer :D

Thanks to turning358, Im so lucky I found you :)

7.11.11 "Say ANSWER for 2 seconds"

Timer still doesnt work -_-

I found the Timer that's not in the variable list but it continues to count from 356.7 upwards

Kelly taught me how to get my Sprite (Cat) to repeat the answer you place in the box when the question is asked

It was actually quite simply.... I dont know how I missed it.....

ask "what year are you in?" > Say "answer" for 2 seconds > ask "What's your name?" > Say "answer" for 2 seconds

Easy :)
