IMPORTANT FOR ANY PEOPLE MAKING GUIDES

the edge bounce block had to exist, because if you aren't touching something, you can't bounce. it was the only way,
also paddle2see told me they aren't making stickies anymore

It's really nice that you want to help out with a guide! However, we have a number of them in the forums already and we don't have a good way to showcase any more. If you want to make a guide in a Scratch project, that would be fine. You could advertise it in the “Show and Tell” section too.

There are lots of other ways to help out in the forums too. Helpful Scratchers are always welcome in the “Questions About Scratch”, “Help With Scripts”, “Requests” and other sections. Just look around and ask questions

i already said this, but i literally do not care if they arent taking stickies anymore. this is a GUIDE. just because its a guide doesnt mean it has to be stickied.

No it didnt; you could just do

if <touching [edge v] ?> then
turn cw (180) degrees
end

or something like that

So, it is:

if touching [Sprite1 v], bounce:: motion

I feel like “if touching” is better.
