This Scratch Game Has 0 Sprites!

I made a game in scratch without using sprites. Every Scratch game has sprites - they are required to move things around the screen. But can I make a game using none of them?

Sorry for the audio, it was a hot day and I had the fan on. Also, I won't be able to upload much as I'm on the Year 12 studying grind 😫

I JUST DID IT I JUST MADE A COOKIE CLICKER WITHOUT SPRITES

[@DoYouSeeBananaManTH]

couldn’t use colour blocks for some reason

[@JoshyRB]

A good way to make the price of something increase, is multiplying the number by a fraction of itself. So like: [set Money to [(Money) X 1.2]]. Although that does cause the problem of high numbers going up in high amounts. The increase of price would be exponential, so at some point, it’s gonna take absolutely forever to get enough money to buy it.

[@JacksonAcademy1]

Good idea. Can I make a video like this? I credit you.

yes, make a game with zero sprites

[@sandushki6444]

Very, very, very impressive! I made a coockie clicker by using only the backdrop too but yours is loads better.

[@donut_ask]

How did you make yours?

[@sandushki6444]

@@donut_ask I used the mouse x and mouse y blocks to understand if you're clicking to something. If you click on something, it changes some variables and changes the backdrop to create a visual effect. The gamepasses I made stays at the same price. It doesn't increase when you buy it.

Cookie*

[@vaguedestruction]

I like how if i buy 70 cursors and a couple grandmas then cookies per second goes higher than grandma price lol

[@donut_ask]

Unlimited cookies!

[@CloudCookie1013]

you can also get 8 cursors then turn them sideways.. LOL

[@Wxth3red]

Something easier: say the cookie is in the top left corner again, you can do this:
When stage clicked:
if mousex < -80 and mousey > 30 then
Change clicks by 1
Ps: i tested it and it works, and that -80 and 30 will have to change depending on where the cookie is, it basically makes a rectangle around where to be clicked.

[@donut_ask]

Yeah works for the cookie, but my solution works for the other buttons too

[@the_m_original]

@My Singing Moonstars [XD] [TATP] its not impossible, one of my teachers usually makes powerpoint games where we answer questions, pick correct answers, and more

[@RonicTheEgg]

Ain't no way bro just used 10^ and log 💀
Literally the most unused blocks

[@JacksonAcademy1]

🗿🗿🗿

[@donut_ask]

Scratch doesn't have a "to the power of" block. I use the log and anti-log to cancel each other for exponentiation

[@linilie2180]

thats so impresive how did you do that

[@donut_ask]

Making different buttons was mainly detecting if the mouse x and mouse y are in a rectangle using a long if with a lot of ands. I used custom blocks to add the button min and max positions to a list, to make it easier to add more later.
I probably should of better explained how it worked in the video :/

[@sinqularity1008]

I can't even make an ordinary clicker, and you do it without sprites. Сool.

[@user-cm7hk5hb6u]

Exactly🤣

[@jamespotter9683]

There is a shorter code, which can detect a mouseclick in a circle...

[@donut_ask]

I used this code because the shop buttons are rectangles

how did you make that cookie game clicker with 0 sprties?

[@BaconProIpad]

Uh cant you just do “ if mouse pointer touching color wait until (mouse down?) wait until

[@donut_ask]

Yes, you can use that. This script prevents clicks from being counted if you drag the mouse away.
