Hi. I'm working on a game that includes a torch on it.

The idea is that a room it's pitch dark, but you can use your torch to reveal parts of the room.


⬆ How it should look like.

The illuminated part follows the cursor so you choose where to see

I tried making a big black square with a transparent circle, and using this program:

when green flag clicked
forever
go to [Cursor]
end

But the square isn't big enough for the screen. Anybody knows a solution?

(Also sorry if my english is bad)

create a black background and put some sprites that are also black. create a sprite layered at the very back that is colored whatever color you want your torch to be and make it go to the mouse pointer. I dont know how to make a different colored thing that shows up in the room when the torch touches it.

The thing you did should work fine, just try making it bigger.

Your English is great! I agree with vicentearnabal that the sprite doesn't seem to be able to cover the whole screen, at least I also wasn't able to figure out how to get it to.

This was what I thought too and it basically worked for me. I really like the black background idea, although that might not work if you want the things that are lit up by the flashlight to be on a different colored background.

Here's my attempt: https://youtu.be/nDURoh5KgqY

That works perfectly! Thanks!

I learned something new: it turns out you can make it bigger: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/422739999/

So you don't necessarily need the black background.

does any
