I am making a simple drawing game, and it took me a very long time to make a vertical color scale and make a code like this with 12 different colors:

when backdrop switches to [Backdrop2 v]
if <<mouse down?> and <<touching color [#ff0088] ?> >> then
set pen color to [#ff0088]

It took forever to get that finished but it doesn't work!!! Maybe it is the fact that I put the codes in the pencil sprite. When I click on a color the pen color stays the same. Please help me!

Share the project and I can most likely help you. You can also look at my drawing game I made not to long ago if you'd like.

I've shared my game, go to the “Play a game” button and click on “Piggy drawing”

Maybe this sentence will help…

There is not one “pen” for the entire project, there is a separate “pen” for each sprite.


So you have to create a pen sprite and make your color choices inside the script of that sprite. (Or else use a global variable for “pencolor” if you have to have separate sprites for pen and color choice. Set pencolor to the color (0-200) and then set the pen color to pencolor.)

Actually, the “pen” is just a single pixel (for size 1) being stamped onto the backdrop as it moves. (For size two it's 2 pixels wide, size 3 is 3 pixels wide, etc)
