Having a hard Time finding ideas? here are some steps that will help you!

1. Other Games
Don't copy other's work, but take inspiration-
For example, in my game “Upturned” I got inspired by game I was making with some other scratchers, were you touch a mirror and the game flips. in my game, you can push space whenever you want to flip the game. I didn't use any scripts from the collab, but if you do use other's scripts, give credit.

2.Life
Take a game from real life, say Ice-Hockey. Now, find your own unique way to convert that game to an enjoyable, one player game.
Your creation doesn't have to be exactly like the game, and it doesn't even have to be 3D! Another way in life is to look around, and make stuff based on what you see. Pay attention! small details may make BIG games!

3. Movies
After watching Movies (mostly sci-fi) were there is something awesome, I sometimes get the urge to make A game involving that thing. For example, after watching an adventure movie about bikes, I decided to make my game “StickFigure Extreme” (Unshared), in which you try to bike as fast as you can

4. Dreams
This one is sort of like movies, except for that your mind can make much wilder stories than any movie director. For example, you dream your in a chase, and your being hunted by some mind-eating zombies (just an example) and you love the dream do much you want to dream it again; Well here is an awesome game idea! dreams can really help.

5.Getting desperate?
If none of this list helps you, go to a friends profile, and ask “Can you help me think up an idea for my next project?”

6. If step five didn't help
If your'e having a REALLY hard time getting ideas, here are a few-
1. Building climb- climb buildings as fast as you can without falling
2. Cake builder- people are ordering pizza and you must take their order and make what they asked for, if you make a mistake, your fired
3. Scratch platformer- a platformer where you play as they scratch cat and you must rescue the scratch team
4. Cloud jumper- a game where you must jump from cloud to cloud without falling
5. A game where you give commands to a bot so he can safely manoeuvre through each level
6. A game where your point is to die
7. A classic bot wrestling game- you must press different keys to activate attacks to defeat your opponent
8. Celebrity battles- different famous people fight each other to be the “head famous dude”
9. Phone destroyer- A game where you must destroy as many phones as you can to get the insurance money
10. A game where there is a bar that is always filling and you must do stuff to prevent it from filling
Feel free to leave links of projects you make using this forum below!

6. A game where your point is to die wait are you taking this seriously?

Hello there! If you would like to advertise your projects, or just show them off, I suggest you go to this section of the forum, so this is not overruled with advertisements, and Scratchers can get help!

Hmmmmmm i gotta try this!

Bored On Scratch? Scrolling through the featured projects wondering if you could code something good and get it featured? Finally you huff and say: “yes I can do it” and click ‘create’ and you don't know what to make? Well… Here are some tips for you to find a project idea.

1. “Code something you've experienced” . For example you can animate your day at school or code a team basketball game with your friends.

2. “Cooking.” By cooking I mean step by step coding to either make a food or brew a drink. You've guys seen the featured ‘Cafe Stimulor“ right? and also ’Bake your own pizza'. These are featured cooking projects that give you a safer, virtual kitchen where you show your inner chef!

3. ”Brought to Scratch“ You'd be living under a rock to be on Scratch an not know @griffpatch. You've definitely asked yourself ”Can I code something like that?“ when you scroll through his numerous projects. Me, CrystalSmash, am a big fan of @griffpatch myself. And, If you look, you'll see that a lot of griffpatch ‘s work are already-made games and he brought that to Scratch. Like the famous ’Geometry dash' and ‘slither.io’

4. ”Trivia Time!“ Everybody loves a good quiz, right? Whether its a personality test to a Superpower test. Have you guys taken the ‘Which Plant are you test” ? I was a flower. But anyway, you can create a quiz about a trend going one like a book series so more people can connect to it. You can also create a personality-character type quiz so people can come to find some attitude-reading tests. Whatever you like!

5. “About you” Everyone one scratch can be a friend. We’re the BIG Scratch family! So why not you give the Scratch community a little info about yourself. You can add an OC, dislike/like chart or whatever you want! This will be a good starting project for ‘New Scratcher’ s but anyone can do it!

Thanks everyone! I hope my tips help you during your scratch journey. Have a nice day!
