Hi Community,

The first thing that I want to say is that I am new to this community and the Developing world, so I still have to find my way .

I have created an “Avoid the Traffic” game but I got stuck with the scripting and don't know what to do.

The problem is that when I want to restart the game (after the ‘Game Over!’ screen, so when I press the ‘restart’ button) the backdrop loads but the cars don't appear. I have checked all my scripts but I still can't find the problem.

Can someone please look into it and give me some tips? Criticism is also allowed, it will help me improve and challenge me to get better.

You could make it when the restart button is clicked it broadcasts a message and when the cars receive that message, they show and move again.

I think it has to do with this script:

when green flag clicked
forever
hide
end

and

when backdrop switches to [ Game Over!v]
forever
hide
end

I removed all the forever loops and replaced a couple of them with repeat until loops, added some extra logic around moving the player's car to prevent pressing down arrow a bunch to get lots of points, and added some math to the bug-car to have it spawn in either of the two lanes randomly. It is better to not have that many forever loops, especially when hiding a sprite forever isn't really any better than hiding it once. Overall, it mostly worked, but I try to avoid using forever loops without a wait block for performance reasons. That's probably just because I usually Scratch on a Dell Dimension 2400 though
