Q&A ———————————————————————— Q: Why did you make this game? A: There was a grade level talent show at my school, and I decided to make this game to display my game making skills on Scratch. Q: What was your inspiration? A: I asked my friend what to make, and he said I should make something similar to what this project is now. Q: Why did you wait a year before updating the game? A: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/427343175/ was trending around May 20th 2022, and it reminded me of this project. I looked back on it, and realized it was (in my opinion) better than it. I showed it to a few of my friends, comparing it to Space Dodge. They gave me some suggestions, and I began to update the game. Q: How many blocks were used to make this? A: 1087 blocks were used (outdated), but I put in more work then that, as the sprite-working was difficult. To see why, look at how many costumes the sprite "Debris" has. I’ve covered most of what I think could be commonly asked. If you have a question that was not covered here, please ask it.
