I have no idea how to make a pen game. I'm just chillin' in my bed, and I decide to play around with Scratch. I use some extensions, comment on some projects, and now, I'm wondering how to use some of the extensions. I don't know the first thing about pen. I have absolutely no idea. Could someone please help??

Also, please check out my project The TRUMPet Doctor! It's a great ad, you wanna watch it.

Making a game with the pen requires a lot of practice, maybe you can start with something more simple to get used to the pen.
The pen works this way: If the pen is up, it won't draw anything, when the pen is down, it traces the path of a sprite. With the erase all block you can erase everything the pen has drawn. You can also add colour to the pen or make it thicker and thinner with the other blocks.

Here, I have a simple proof of concept on how you can make the pen work, first and foremost: Pen Proof of Concept (in Editor)

Thanks! Also, how are to new to Scratch, yet you know how to make pen work?? Is this your second account or something?

This is my second account. My first account is Quinton_not-J3rry, but I created this account because the other one is actually a school account. (I'm a Scratcher on that one). And I got afraid that when the year ends I lose one of my games, the one that I've worked for 6 months on
So I downloaded the game as a Scratch file and I uploaded it to this account, and I've worked on it more and more

Oh! The computer I'm on is a school computer, and this is a school account, but I know that when this year ends, I can always use my sister's computer to access my account again! I would also like to ask, why isn't it working when I put in a code to make the pen get larger? You can see for yourself: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/371301311

Oh wait, nevermind.

I'm always using my school computer
My browser / operating system: ChromeOS 12607.81.0, Chrome 79.0.3945.119, Flash 32.0 (release 0)

You're changing the pen size of the button, not the pen sprite. Have the “when this sprite clicked” blocks send out a broadcast to the pen sprite and change the pen size there.
nvm
