Download the 6 sprites and 15 scripts of "sick cat v0.13" and open it in Scratch Project Notes
Oh noes! First the credit crunch hit, forcing you to move to a one-room hovel in Toonland and power your appliances with bootleg Scream™... and now your toonified cat has eaten a rat that was several days past its best and has become ill!
You've taken a quick trip to the pet store and got a syringe and as many vials of anti-emetic as you could afford... that is... five. Problem is, it doesn't seem that'll be enough. Still, if it delays the inevitable until you've digested enough of your own lunch, it's better than nothing.
It's not all bad though... when kitty gets really bad, and starts deleriously spinning REALLY FAST, it also starts screaming in pain. Are you cruel enough to keep it in this state long enough to top off your canister for an all-night YouToon binge? You bet you are!
Controls are very simple. Click to administer a shot of medicine. The game is one of brinksmanship, reaction times, and being accurate at clicking just before the cat is finally ill.
You get 3 points per "yelp" when you have medicine left, and 1 point when you haven't. Just because.
Similarly, every injection also loses you 20 points regardless of whether there's medicine left. I maybe should have thought about this, given that it would make the cat scream more...
This is my first go at making some lunatic thing with Scratch. It started out as a simple 10 PRINT HELLO, 20 GOTO 10 thing (which is why the cat is so chatty), but has quickly gotten out of hand. Feel free to copy and remix it as you like. Just be careful of the coding - the same random putting-together of blocks (with no reference to any kind of manual or tutorial) that has created this "game"'s unique "style" and "theme" (pffft) also means that ALL of the code is contained in a SINGLE long script attached to the default cat sprite. So it's slow and difficult to edit... at least for me on a 1.8 celly (a 1.7 Pentium-M is a bit better). Ho hum.
Does go to show however that ANY old idiot can make something moderately impressive with this awesome tool.
v0.13 now comes with graphical scream and dizziness meters and some further graphical / audio coding tweaks. Considering maybe changing a couple details of how the scoring works but otherwise this may as well go straight to v1.0 at the next update :D

(view all replies)dis fun
lol thanks. funny what happens when you literally just throw random blocks together then put a scoreboard on top and a picture behind. like the name btw, might use the song as backing musix.
hrm. doesnt seem to have got any slower, and the dizziness meter never quite maxes out (though it did in the editor) but at least the cat's looking a bit more sick rather than just jaundiced
dammit, i've SEEN sidebar >>> text with line-breaks in it, so how do i make it do that? prepare to annoy the everlovin sugar out of everyone around you as the cat now shrieks when it's in the dangerzone. are you ready to take the HIGHWAY TO THE shrieking cat DANGER ZONE?!
Sidebar.... FIXED!
