I'm new here (also new to scratch since I just downloaded yesterday). I want to make typing game, but don't know how. I read the instructions about the script but I'm still confused, please help

Free typing with Scratch is sort of painful. Take a look at this project. http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/12310799/

Is it that hard? I checked the website and I had no idea what was it all about

If you go to that project and click SEE INSIDE, you can see the scripts that could be used. You have to have a small script for each character on the keyboard.

To display the text, use this. For the rest, what scubajerry said.

Hi. We usually discourage people from re-activating old threads to ask a new question, but since yours is the identical request I guess we can let it stand this time.

To do a typing game you need to decide on a few things up front:

1) output: do you want it in a fancy type-writer-like text (ie graphical text, which will require a font engine) or are you OK with scratch's internal text as used in variable displays. If so there's a good app you can reuse - I think it's called ‘autotext’?

2) input - how much like a typewriter do you want it to be? If you want people to press carriage return at the end of a line, you'll have to find out about hacked blocks. If you want to distinguish between upper case and lower case you'll also need to learn some tricks, because Scratch tries really hard to make upper case indistinguishable from lower case.

once you've decided on these design features, post here and we'll help. At this stage of learning you'll almost certainly want to re-use other people's code to implement both the input and output parts (which to be honest doesn't leave much to do! just the game part…)

There is another solution (costumes=letters)

Please don't necropost. This topic is from 2013.

Hello 60 second rule

I have made one but it's kinda hard to customise, you can write but can't define where you'd be able to write and can't detect what is written in there.

If it's from my code (the one above) I am sorry but I forgot to put this:

For the “set x to..” use the starting postion from my previous comment
!CAN BE USED FOR ANY TYPING PROGRAM!

Hope I helped!

No, because this thread is from 2013 — the creator must've forgotten about it. No offense, I am just trying to help you out.
What you're doing is necroposting. It doesn't seem like a big deal, but read this before you are sure: https://en.scratch-wiki.info/wiki/Necropost
