Download the 7 sprites and 19 scripts of "Highly Caffeinated R…" and open it in Scratch Project Notes
You are now the proud owner of a family of highly caffeinated rodents! What can you do with them? You can study their habits by turning on the mouse trails...or you can try to isolate them by using your mouse to draw new walls. Or, you can just watch them scurry around.
Controls:
======
Use the mouse to draw your own walls
"T" key - Turn on/off mouse trails
"P" key - Pause/Unpause the mice
"Space" key - Clear screen
Right Arrow - Next background
What is this?
=========
Thanks to DrMath and his wonderful "Boundaries" project, I got to thinking about little critters bumping off of walls and ways to keep them from getting stuck. I remembered the old "Return to Last Good Position" technique and decided to apply it to some mice. I tried to think up a game...but really couldn't come with anything that fun. So I thought I would repackage them as mobile art and see what you guys could come up with :)
The mice are very robust...they should not get stuck unless you draw a new black line right on top of them (that confuses them!). Sometimes they get stuck when you change the background...not sure why that is happening yet.

haha, using my evil powers of wall creation i stuck mr yellow man in a sticky situation >:D
A man disguised as a mouse - that's probably exactly what the situation is. Good use of your penetrating powers of evil observation.
I think you need to work on your evil laugh...usually it's more like Mwa-ha-ha. It's supposed to be a mouse, by the way :)

Funny! Awesome thats pretty neat!
Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying my frantic little pets. Help yourself to a set of your own with a remix, if you want :)
(view all replies)You can color in things by trapping them in shapes and then turbo speed!
You're right :)
I declare theee: awesome
I would make the mice undraggable, they jump right back to their spaces. Though it is fun just for the sake of catching mice. :)
Yeah...that makes sense. I probably left them draggable by accident.
(view all replies)Put on turbo and leave pen trails, it makes a cool design.
Turbo-charged hyper mice! Awesome :)
(view all replies)LOL.
Just turned on Turbo Mode in the flash player... They are SUPER coffee-ed up!
Wow! Almost too fast to see :)
(view all replies)When I saw them, I was thinking "Oh... oh god... 0.0" xDD
They are *very* energetic - lol.
(view all replies)99th love-it! very fun. I like making faces and trapping them in their own little boxes >:)
Faces! Sounds like fun :)
(view all replies)it seems this computer is denying me acsess to any of these games. oh well.i think i'll go on andkon.
What are you seeing for an error message? Do you have Java installed on your computer? Or Flash?
How old are you?
I started Scratching in 2007 - so over 3 years now! I also have some experience with other computer languages that I used to use in my work. I used to program computers and get paid for it - which is pretty cool :)
Pretty old. Middle aged. Wrong side of 40.
(view all replies)AMAZING!!!
Cool! It reminds me of escapemotions.com experiments, because of the trails and making your own walls :)
LOL, fun! :D
amazing
I play this so often, but only just got around to loving it. Funny!
Well, thanks for the love! I'm glad you are enjoying it :)
Addicting loved it :)
I left it on for a long time and now it looks like paint splatters
You will go to court for animal cruelty.
Cyber-animal cruelty!
(view all replies)Next time don't give them so much caffeine.
These Rodents are like the cyclists in the city I live in.
Right, I understand :)
(view all replies)I think I understand your clue. But you are right to be cautious :)
(view all replies)Ha! That would be something to see :)
(view all replies)Now we all know one thing: Coffee and Rodents don't mix. : D
Right! And it's not just coffee...many soda products and teas have caffine as well :)
I made a tiny corral and turned on trails and they all made their own "territory".
Sounds cool :)
three of them got stuck on the dots
LOL
hey paddle2see.. i know you archmage and addzero are pretty much the smartest scratchers, so can one of you help me with my zombie killer II v5.0 project? theres a bug where when the pistol shoots the bullet will kinda just sit in the middle of the air, it only happens online. also, how can i make it smoother online? thanks. btw i love this project haha
I made 4 curved walls around the mice and who ever got out i made a wall around them STATUS: the brown onw is the smartest ^^
Look for a Set Size block on each mouse...that is probably setting the size and overriding what you are doing. Change the number to something smaller.
(view all replies)And I have a question I downloaded it and made copys of the mice. I tried to make them smaller but it wound'nt work. Can you help me?
(view all replies)Cute!
i made them have there own little 'zones' and then turned on mouse trails. It looks so cool.
That's a fun idea...then they will color in their own zones...it will look like a stained glass window :)
(view all replies)I trapped one in the wall XD
This is really cool, I created a maze for them: current status: Nobody at exit (except one that i left there) Project Current Data: FAILURE
A maze! What a cool idea. I would think they would work their way through it eventually, if the passages aren't too tight.
(view all replies)its cool to trap them
lol what a title i love it
Thx!
Try trapping them all by drawing lines over em!
this is a cool game it is fun and entertaining!!!!!!!!!LOL i like make exlamation points LOL
I'm glad you are enjoying it :)
(view all replies)lol caffeine crazed rodents
Cool!
This is great, Paddle2See! :)
Wow! Try enveloping the red mouse in a heart, the white in a snowflake, the gray in a elephant-shaped outline, the brown in a tree trunk, and the purple in a purse (idk)! Then turn trails on and... PRESTO! 8D the mice will color your pen objects in very realistic colors! :D
What an interesting use of the mice! Very cool :)
Oh, and the green mouse to color the top of the brown one's tree trunk. Though it's very hard to get the brown and green together.... >.< *grunts with effort*
its very glitchy... but tat's wat makes it aweshum. 8D oh, by the way... Paddle2See, I have never figured out why you have an asterisk by your username! when you click it, it says Page Not Found. ???
lol, you could just make an account Winterlilies* but you wouldnt be able to click on it XP
Yeah, the asterisk is fun. It also helps keep people from impersonating my account :) An MIT undergrad - no. I was a grad student back in the 80's. I'm an old retired guy now :)
(view all replies)It's fixed - thanks for letting us know :)
Oops! The link must have broken. It's supposed to tell you about the Scratch Team.
(view all replies)if you draw a trail onto a mouse, the mouse gets stuck and goes nuts
Yes it does...I think I mentioned that in the Project Notes :)
This is like a game...when you try to isolate them all on a clear screen!
This is way fun!
Glad you're getting along well with my little furry friends :)
hmmmm....if you trap a mouse then press t then drag the mouse slowly across the screen, you will make the entire place one color! :D
Wow! That's really cool!
(view all replies)You shouldn't have let them drink so much Coke.
I trapped them all in a tiny box in the middle.
I also like restricting their room as much as possible. XD
I do that because they're highly caffinated and I want them to stay that way (not that they'll calm down either way C=)
LOVE IT! Gray and Brown keep having crushes on each other and wanting to be near each other, so I frustrate them by trapping them far apart as I can! >8) I am evil.
I never noticed those two hanging out with each other...but you have to keep an eye on them...they're all troublemakers :)
(view all replies)Amazing project. Brilliant idea. (I never would have thought of it!)
Thanks scmb1...I was inspired by DrMath's projects :)
(view all replies)suwerd rodinds!
This is awsome! TRAP THE RODENTS!!!!
Thanks! Check out Cmuriel's remix too...she made a very nice game out of it.
I've never seen such highly caffeinated rodents! Time to hide Mr. Coffee!
For sure :)
such intricate patterns...
mouse graffiti!
the white one and the grey one just mated
oh no! the're stuck together!
Fun to watch.
wow, this is fun! You don't really have games, but your projects always seem to have something addicting. I just let the mice go and they filled up the whole screen with colors!!
Thanks! Yeah, good games take a lot of detailed planning - I don't usually have the patience :)
epic win lolz. this reminds me of a comic strip i drew once...
