<!> ENTER FULLSCREEN <!> Scroll Wheel = Move Player ↑ and ↓ Hold Space + Scroll Wheel = Move Player ← And → R = Reset to Middle The Variables Should Be Self-Explanatory Feel free to backpack the player sprite if you want to make a game using this engine (which I highly doubt). I wonder if people actually bother to scroll through the instructions on projects. I know I rarely ever do. The fact that you're reading this right now either means that your screen is configured differently and therefore this text box is stretched so that you can see these words, or you actually bother to read all of the controls when playing scratch games. Great, now I've made another one of those things where I write stuff for the player to read, knowing that the only person who will probably even view this is the person who made the original project. I wonder how many words I can put in the instruction box. I mean, there's no visible limit that I can see. I doubt that Scratch will just let me yap here forever, so I'm gonna do what any reasonable person would do. I'm gonna keep virtually talking to nobody in the form of text on a screen until I reach a pre-set limit to how many words I can put here. I have a feeling if anyone actually does scroll down, they're just gonna scroll to the very end to see what it says. I don't blame them. Why would you waste your time on Scratch reading this text when you could be playing all of the SUPER UNIQUE and TOTALLY NOT GENERIC games on the TOTALLY AWESOME featured page. Is the reason that nobody sees these projects just because I don't include art? Actually, there really is no way to see this project unless you search for it which is already very unlikely. The guy who made the engine basically just makes a bunch of alt accounts every couple weeks and follows the first 500 people he sees. It's kind of a cheap way to get followers but at least people view the projects he makes. I'm not gonna do that though. IDK I feel like I could make something at least worth being put in one of the home page categories if I actually had a good idea and invested more time into it. I've had a lot of good game ideas in the past, but I can never find the motivation or time to actually make it into something that I can post. That's why all the things that I post require some effort, but little to no motivation to create something unique and stylized. It's easier for me to make an engine using programmed logic than to create a full unique game that requires planning and art and everything. To get kind of personal, I've been planning to go to college for either software development or programming or something like that. While college degrees don't really make as much of a difference as they used to, It would still be a nice personal achievement to get one. I want to either work for a game development company or develop my own games for people to play. And I mean like actual games, not just Scratch. I've been trying to get back into Unity lately, but school has been constantly piling up for a while. I've been programming on Scratch since I was like 6 and I've been learning Unity since I was around 12. One of my biggest life goals is to make games for people. I don't exactly know why, but for me personally, certain games have become very special to me. And I don't mean like arcade / minigame style games. Some examples are The Walking Dead Games and the Life Is Strange series (except for the newest one lol). I want to be one of the names that scrolls past the screen as the player stares blankly in awe at the amazing story they just witnessed. Or maybe I'm the only one that does that, IDK. Throughout my life, I've had many means of creative expressions. Occasionally I'll look at some old SD card and watch all the videos of me and my sister back when we wanted to be trickshot youtubers. How the time flies. Whenever I'm not playing video games, I might be writing a story, recording a YouTube video that I'll never post, making music, or programming. It's like I have so many ideas for stories, movies, songs, and games, but I just can't get them out of my head and onto my computer for some reason. I'm currently behind in my Creative Writing class. The final assignment is to write your own short story. I took the class because I wanted to avoid the process I had of making a google doc, writing a paragraph or two, and never opening it ever again. I've literally never finished a story that I haven't turned in for school. I've had like 4 or 5 different ideas that I was confident I would be able to write and turn in to my Creative Writing teacher, but none of them seemed to work. Wow, I'm horrible at making conversation in real life, but apparently I'm really good at yapping via text to a non-existent audience. And SOMEHOW, I haven't reached the character limit on the instructions text box. I've been typing for so long. It's 12:50 AM And I've finally reached the limit. Thanks, Goodbye.
I got bored on a Saturday and decided to remix my IRL friend's scroll wheel detection engine and overcomplicate the living (heck) out of it. Also, 2 posts within the span of a month? This is getting crazy. Am I actually posting stuff regularly now? Anyways, the only things that were here before I remixed the project is the player sprite and the actual scroll wheel detection. Everything else was made by yours truly. Fun fact: All of the scrolling sounds are just sounds from Scratch but sped up by like 20x and way louder. Also I've had the wall collision in my backpack for so long I have absolutely no clue who made it.
