Oops! Press space! There's a problem with the fonts. I used Calibri and something called SF Square Root so depending on your config you may not see any text. I don't think I ever mentioned that you have to press space to move through the instructions (invisible online), so it's more or less worthless online. I'm going to rebuild it in Flash and then resubmit to some bully-prevention sites that found the Scratch format too hard to work with ;)
It's good to learn about Murphy's Law as soon as possible (Anything That Can Go Wrong - Will. And at the Worst Possible TIme). Looks like you got a vivid lesson in it! Sorry to hear that. However, your game looks great!
***This is NOT meant to be played alone!*** Controls: Click to use most buttons, otherwise press [space] to advance instructions and move between questions.
I'm on our school's STAAR team, which has nothing to do with aliens and basically means that we're in charge of putting together presentations about bullying and getting along, etc. I made this for Bully Prevention Week, and after about 10 hours of work and a lot of excitement, it broke down during the presentation and started regurgitating questions, although it worked perfectly 10 minutes before. I fixed the glitch (although it seems unfair-it was just a missing broadcast) and it now works great. There are some manual override controls I just added: -Hold down [space] while the timer is running; it won't show the correct answer until it is released. -Use the up/down arrow keys to change blue's score manually. -Use the left/right arrow keys to change red's score manually. -If something bad happens during phone-a-friend, you can start it over by pressing the phone icon again. -If something really bad that I haven't thought of happens, stop the presentation, hold down 0 (zero) and press the green flag to get a new question, without resetting any variables or lists. -If the explaination sprite stays open after the presentation (and it shouldn't, although it did once) has moved on to the next question, just press [space]. You can add as many questions as you'd like as long as you follow these steps: 1. Set the variable "questionsTotal" to the total amount of questions. 2. Copy the last costume of sprite "correctAnswer" and set the copy's text to the correct answer of the new question. 3. Repeat with the three "wrongAnswer" sprites, only with wrong answers. 4.Do the same thing with the "question" and "explaination" sprites. Since I wrote the program to randomize the order of the questions and the location of the correct answers, you'll get a new game every time unless you use this very, very extensively. Of course, you can use this for whatever subject you want. Just let me know so I feel redeemed after my epic failure at presenting this myself. CREDITS: All the graphics are by me, using Flash. I got the sound effects from this site: <A href="http://%3ca%20href=/" who_wants_to_be_a_millionaire_soundclips.htm? funstuff www.bryanturner.org http:>www.bryanturner.org/funstuff/who_wants_to_be_a_millionaire_soundclips.htm</A>">http://<A href="

I have, but I haven't made any projects because I'm working on a Flash project.
It's not working right downloaded. 0.o
Do you like flash or scratch better?
Scratch is better than fish. I said fish, because it is a hobo.
How do you make your avatars?

Not well...I haven't worked on it for several weeks due to this and some other project for science fair. I hope you'll understand!
Okay...I feel stupid. How do you start the game? I've tried clicking, Space, other keys, and looking at the scripts. What am I missing?

Murphy's Law is near perfect, exept the fine cat-toast antigravity device.
Its not a game?
Well, it is, but you can't play it alone (since you can cheat fairly easily). It's more of an interactive presentation game.
Nice job. Good template that can be used in a lot of contexts.
First comment!yes
i cant download this! when i start it in scratch its just said "Bad header", why?
