A New Open Source Type of Scrolling! ~~ Mother Sprite Scrolling

A new type of scrolling has been made!

Mother Sprite scrolling is a simple technique for one-script scrolling that embraces Scratch 2.0's new cloning feature. It creates “minions” that are clones that are each identified with a number. This number can then be used to determine it's scripting, costume or position. Perfect for the different platforms of a scrolling game! Using only 1 sprite, you can use it to create an infinite number of different platforms. Check out my test here: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/12317435/

If you didn't quite get what I said above, here's a simpler explaination. An insect queen creates 5 servants. Each servant is called by a number. 1 is told to guard the castle entrance, 2 is a cook, 3 is the queen's personal servant, 4 is the nanny and 5 is a spare. Each one is told what to do based on their number, so the scripting for this is designed in a similar way. I hope you enjoy using this for future games, and tell me what you make!
