How to make a spore game
I wanted to make this spore game for my game actually. I wanted to make it look just like spore where you can edit your creature into anyting you want. The problem now is that i need to find a way to make the creature mouldable. Does anyone know how to do so?

How to make a spore game
Hi miaelizabethsantos,
I haven't played the spore game, so I'm not sure exactly what's involved. But it looks like you upgrade a creature as you play. Is that the part you're not sure about?
You could have a body (with different possible costumes), legs (with several costume options), arms (with several costume options), etc. And use broadcast/receive to keep all the parts following the main body as you move.
Here's a project showing the technique (my “parts” are hats and glasses, and they switch automatically on a timer, instead of a player deciding). In the example, you'll see how parts can update their positions each time the main body moves (Scratchy). And how the position of the parts can be offset from the position of the main body.
Demo: Changing Outfits (accessory sprites follow main sprite)

I hope this helps. I'm happy to answer any questions about it.
