Why not just use the current versions of Scratch or YouTube to share tutorials?

Because that is really confusing and complicated to do for new users, plus beginners use school computers to do so and they can't download certain things from the foundation.

If YouTube is too complicated for someone, how would Scratch YouTube be any less complicated for them? And, if Scratch is too complicated for someone, why would they be making Scratch tutorials in the first place?

Well, In The Search Bar, They Can Search Up videos with /videos Then, There’s Videos! But How Are The Videos Made?
Well, When You Create Projects, Nad Studio! Add A Button Called “Create Video” And That’s My Idea!

1. the tristan topic (or we could just completely flip the topic over and talk about marios madness or crunchin for april fools)
2. yep

You can assign each of the clones a “Clone ID”. When each clone has a different ID, you can control what the individual clones do.

when green flag clicked
set [cloneID v] to [1] // this sprite only
repeat (7)
create clone of [myself v]
change [cloneID v] by (1)
end

when I start as a clone
if <(cloneID) = [1]> then
hide
end

Wether this would be helpful or not I suppose depends on if people actually read announcements and stickys. It’s probably worth trying, though.

seems a bit cruel to disregard visually impaired people by making links purple which makes them LESS visible for certain colorblind people. additionally for some people the purple theme is even harder to see than the blue. maybe they should just have website themes rather than forcing one design on everyone, since what helps one person is worse for another

purple actually works better for links then blue as seen here

Okay that seems reasonable. Wouldn't you think they'd go with Snap!, though?

Also see my last sentence that I edited into my last post on this topic, presumably while you were typing your response.

One edge that Scratch has against most programming languages is that it is a highly visual one, with an easy-to-follow syntax. It's helpful for students starting coding.

And if his teaching does relate to coding and I'm mistaken, then I wouldn't think a college student that knows they're going into programming would have no experience and need to start with Scratch.

He doesn't educate anything applicable to Scratch.

Functions, derivatives, and whatnot can certainly be applied to Scratch. You have a sufficient amount of math operators in the coding language to graph a function.

True, but why would you ever use Scratch for that when you could use literally any other program designed for this?

dear luna, sun, starr, moss, moonlit, and robin,
you're the pinnacles of swc. (terrifying) host (tyrants), thank you so much for making this session run smoothly — on the leading team, i get a glimpse of what swc's like before february 29 and before april 1! the activities, the writing comp, the hilarious addition of gurtle, who really needs to get a pacifier or something so he'll stop eating links. perhaps the most solid testament to y'all's (?) awesomeness is the fact that the session theme is motivating me to try reading lotr :0
from, river

dear gurtle taskbar,
thank you for running the daily team this session! all the activities this session were so much fun, and i finally got my dream of a legends weekly. you all are legends, so i suppose it fits <3 memorieswc was so much fun — the ingredients, the storyline, the amazing coding! i enjoyed it all, even if it was totally speedrun xD happy swc!
from, river

dear mbc (spearheaded by alana and reese)
thanks so much for running things this session! i have a feeling this will be one of the most exciting and fun filled memory books yet, and i had so much fun planning and designing, even if i didn't do that very often </3 i look forward to seeing the memory book develop after the session, and i can't wait to see the final product!
from, river

dear (co) leading team:
you guys were truly an epic community this session. from the questionnaires to the wild excitement at the beginning, i loved this little hobbit hole! everyone's cabin was so amazing and unique, i am in awe of everyone every single time. i know how hard it is to create and run a cabin, and despite any snags that may have come up, everything seemed seamless <33 you made sure that every camper enjoyed their session of swc, and i hope to see and talk to y'all in the future!
from, river

dear alana, finley, and summer,
i didn't interact with you very much this session, but i wanted to send you a little note thanking you for being wild in the first cabin wars — combined, i'm pretty sure we sent over two thirds of the wars that time, even if most of them were done in revenge! i will always remember those 24 hours as a time of exhilaration and chaos, thanks so much for making it epic! (and a small apology for being half of fairy tales' wars :)
from, river

dear mousey,
thanks so much for being my partner in the third weekly, and for being a great friend this session! dystopian is also so lovely, i love your theme. when i talked to you, it was always enjoyable, and i will never regret eating that delicious charred mango during the Incident <3 i hope to talk to you more in future sessions, keep being epic :0
from, river

dear lily,
thanks so much for wandering through the woods with us! you were always determined to recover the diary pages, even when it seemed we would never escape, and you were very vigilant in defending the cabin from deluded mythsians who believed it was a truffle! i'd love to get to know you better in sessions to come!
from, river

dear juice,
thanks so much for participating this session! it was always lovely seeing you around in the cabin, and i really appreciated your encouragement when i was speedrunning the fourth weekly, and i was amazed when you wrote over five thousand words for it! you were also super helpful and motivated in cabin wars <3 hope to see you around in the future!
from, river

dear tragedians,
unfortunately, you did not manage to escape the woods! but it's okay, we were always going to have an unhappy ending and honestly, i cannot think of a more epic group of people to be stuck in a dark, creepy wood with! from cabin wars to solving the diary pages, we were always a community, and i definitely enjoyed this session! i may not have talked to you all as much as i would have liked to, but i'd love to see you around in future sessions and get to know all of you better <33
from, river

dear willow,
thanks so much for being a fellow co-leader this session! i must start off by complimenting your application — i love taylor swift, and from the moment we realized we were in the same cabin i knew it was going to be loads of fun! i'm not sure if you remember, but i was in poetry ‘21 with you, and i thought you were cool even then. you also have incredible thumbnail design and pfp-making skills; truly, the tragedy design language is stunning. this note is all over the place, but i hope it expresses how epic you are <3
from, river

dear em,
thank you so much for leading tragedy this session! you were such an epic leader from the beginning — the idea from tragedy was lovely, and i really enjoyed collaborating with you and willow on making our woods a reality. you’re such an epic and fun person, and this cabin one hundred percent reflected that <33 it was amazing being a semi-evil quote-unquote helper with you and willow, and i hope to continue to talk to you in the future!
from, river

to the whole of swc,
even if you didn't get a mention in this collection of thank yous, please know it's because i have finite time and motivation </3 every person in this session contributed in some way, big or small, to swc this session, and you all deserve thank yous! i hope to see everyone around next session, and until then, we wait anxiously for results!
from, river

and —
dear gurtle,
i'm still mad at you for eating links and almost destroying the cabin and possessing the hosts. still, you will be missed <33

Does it surprise you im still here.. 9 years on?

The Scratch Team completely rejected even having the ability to toggle cat blocks because it's distracting - it's shocking they still do AFD changes imo.

Who says they're doing anything other than a studio this year - studio fun can be continued indefinitely.

You got the point wrong. My point is that Scratch, in general, does cater to an audience looking for a fun site, not necessarily those looking for an educational site. That fact is true for every day in a year. If a school thinks that the Scratch website is too distracting because it seems more of an entertainment site rather than an educational one, then they discourage accessing the Scratch site for students.

no since mantis and bozo are the same thing I own half of it, therefore I can legally allow battles

Remember that Scratch is used for education. If the April Fools' festivities last for too long, this could distract students from their lessons. One distracting day could be fine, but a week can be pushing it.

“can be”, not “is”.

a reflection - author's note to above writing comp entry
378 words, not part of the actual entry

the majority of this poem was compiled back in january, on a particularly late night when i sat and contemplated the passage of time. i do this sometimes - just sitting in the dark, thinking about abstract concepts like life and grief and language and love, but the one i come back to the most is the strange notion of time. in particular, the speed at which it seems to move. the past year, for me, has flown by. it seems as though only a month ago i was at my middle school graduation; last week i started freshman year; yesterday was the start of the swc session - when in reality, it's been much longer than that. it scares me to think about sometimes, how fast things go by. it seems as though within a span of months i'll be winding out my years in high school and heading onto bigger things, which, for someone who values the people in her life more than the moments, is a terrifying concept. and thus, it was one of these nights where i was terrified at the passage of time, that i began to write.

the title came first - for the dawns come too slow and the sunsets too fast. it was meant to encompass the idea that everything felt like it would take forever to come, yet pass by within an instant, much like how my first year of high school was going. everything felt so far away, but once it came… it was gone in the blink of an eye. i'll admit i don't have the motivation to write out an entire line-by-line analysis of this poem and what it means to me, but i will say it's the first thing i've written in a very long time that i can recall being innately proud of. and to me, that's made all the difference <3

i would like to give the sincerest of thank yous to sun (who offered their thoughts on this long before i realized i was entering it into the writing comp sldkfa), luna (for the same), clev (for critiquing), cj (for entertaining my complaints on the editing process, and offering an abundance of encouragement), and moonsy (for her motivation right up to the end) <3

X-Men vs Teen Titans who wins?

TT has Raven but X-Men has Doop so… X-Men by a landslide. Within the first second, all the Titans would be dead.

I edited the question above so it's (slightly) more fair.

Do you mean large text on the forums or a title of a Scratch project?

This?

(basically same as above but with better scratchblocks)

Run this code when the game ends:

if <(individual score) > (☁ global score)> then //make sure that the global score variable is a cloud variable
set [(☁ score) v] to (individual score)
end

thanks!

So here's the plot idea for John Constantine: Hellblazer I had for a week now.

On a random day of the week like every other, at a random mundane time, every child on earth collapses. attempts to wake those children up are fruitless with many remarking on their soullessness. In a panic, the UN held a meeting during which a slimy man named Buer entered, claiming that he was, in fact, a demon and had stolen the soul of every child on earth by the order of his superior (I wonder who that could be?) He gives the world's leaders a dilemma, allow him to keep a certain amount of souls or he'd keep all of them. For unspecified means. They have a week to decide. Every occultist/magician on the planet doesn't want to engage with the situation for reasons. So there's only one man who can help yep, Willoughby Kipling John Constantine. Given his history with souls (and having kid niece) John tries to figure out how Buer even is able to do such a thing of this caliber and stop it. I'd need to iron some things out, it would be a book, and figure out how to give John a satisfying arc without stepping on his in the first film.

I am worried it might be a bit dark though.

Is this not just the Pied Piper?

He should canonically be the Pied Piper. Either him or Dracula.

Holy cow lol. Did not realise that.

This also seems a bit… BIG. Like Batman, Superman, and co. would notice this. There's no way Batman wouldn't try to learn magic if this happened

Yeah … yeah. I mean the original plot was big to with the war and all that but I have a good excuse for it.

They don't want to, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman are all on the alignment of very good, and a situation like that would cause some grey area with demons and the like. It could also be set like before they were active.

(removed because it adressed a different issue than what was asked)

I have looked at multiple physics tutorial videos but all of them involve cloning or a specific type of physics. What I currently have is something similar to Griff Patch's “getting over it” game, but I'm missing the acceleration from the force applied in the opposite direction. I have Griff's platformer gravity on the body sprite, but that isn't doing much other than bring the player back to the ground. If anybody can provide me with or link me to a physics code that matches what i am looking for that would greatly help me. Also, i am not sure if the clone physics actually work or not, i just don't have the time to remove the entire clone part of it just to test it out.

critique for @-WildClan-
weekly 4
283 words
This passage is well-written and engaging. It introduces the main character, Parsnip, who is a cheerful and curious character, and it also introduces Thorn, who is more reserved and cautious. The dialogue between the two characters creates a sense of connection and friendship.
Additionally, the conflict between Ash and Shade creates tension and creates a sense of urgency. It also adds another layer of complexity to the story, as Thorn is faced with the choice of whether or not to join a side.
The fourth wall breaking also creates a sense of awareness for Thorn, as if Parsnip is not a native part of his world or existence. It adds another layer of strangeness and mystery to the story. While Parsnip may have the powers or insights of an outside author, Thorn feels out of place and powerless as he journeys through his own world.

Finally, the introduction of Comet adds a new character, who is unconcerned by Thorn's weirdness or strangeness, creating a sense of camaraderie and empathy between Thorn and the stranger. This new character adds a sense of hope and connection to the story, giving Thorn a new perspective and someone to trust.

In conclusion, the passage creates a sense of mystery and tension, as the reader is drawn into the world of Thorn and Parsnip, two characters who are navigating through a complex and challenging world. Through the use of dialogue and character development, the passage creates a sense of connection with the characters, as the reader follows their journey and experiences through their dreams and reality. Overall, it's a well-crafted passage that captures the reader's attention and leaves them with a sense of anticipation for what comes next.

It's probably a glitch?

first of all making a list of suggestions for the community is ok cause i posted in suggestions section,

Thy shalt not make lists, it is against thy commandments!
Making lists of suggestions is against the rules of the suggestions forums because it causes clutter and spreads out the conversation, making suggestions scattered and generally unconstructive.

This is rejected under section 9.1 of TOLoRS (The Official List of Rejected Suggestions):

TOLoRS wrote:

9.1 Bring back the “Discuss” tab
The Discuss tab was removed for reasons that may not be 100% clear to some users, but it will not be coming back. In general, the forums are not as restricted as the main website is, in terms of post content. For instance, users can post images on the forums, write Scratch blocks on the forums, and write and edit posts of up to 200,000 characters, none of which is possible on the main website. These options allow for more spam and misuse, especially for new forum users who are not aware of how the forums work. It is suggested that Scratchers learn of the forums through other Scratchers, who direct them to the correct forums as needed.

A very good detailed analysis for why the Discuss button may have been removed can be found on this post.

(Hi, this is my first time using these forms so sorry if I'm not up to standards.)

Ok, so In my game I've ran into a problem with the camera and the collision.
Basically the code in the dot sprite (change y by abs of velocity y / velocity y * -1) pushes the player up if it detects the player touching the floor it pushes it back up, or back down depending on the y velocity. If your falling it pushes you up, and if your jumping it pushes you down.

The issue I've ran across came when I added a camera script that moves the player and level to look like its more than just the small little scratch screen. However, I found out that when the player clips into a wall it pushes it all the way up to the top of the wall, or to the bottom. I however am not the brightest so I do not know how to fix this. Please help.

You can check out a tutorial by @griffpatch here

To respond to your exact question, here's what I got:

Underwhelmed is an emotion. No one can tell you why you feel underwhelmed other than yourself. We can speculate, or even make up our own questions to answer, but we can't answer you.

One reason that's possible is that you may be getting too old for the Scratch AFD pranks. I don't know how old you are, but what was fun(ny) to you three years ago may not be the same anymore.

That's one reason that I always enjoyed AFD on the forums (which I totally get them removing) is because I didn't really find cat blocks or Old Timey mode “fun” as a teenager. I enjoyed being able to create things that me and fellow forumers enjoyed rather than the ST.

There's no bad rap on the ST for this - they did what they needed to do. I know I can create a studio but frankly it's not going to get more than two participants.

Anyway that's just my take on why you might feel underwhelmed.

I've been hearing a lot of creative server ideas on here lately. I also have a new server idea if I may. Basically, it's like the nations type gameplay, expect instead of normal admins, each nation has one god-like player that is partially in creative mode. Those players can fly, use some commands such as limited building commands and basic others (Restrictions on kill and kick commands, obviously), grant limited powers to players, create a limited amount of a limited set of items, and have higher health standards than regular players.

However, each god-player also has a specific elemental type that his or her nation are most powerful in, kind of like in Greek mythology. And it is by this power (Among others) that the regular players can enforce the god-players by; If the regulars players of a water-god-player, let's say, didn't like how he was using his power, they could use that player's own power against him to limit his actions. Basically, the regular players and god-players have to work together to run a nation.

The purpose of the god-player in the first place, other than the cool gameplay, is to add a new level of intensity and an origins-like aspect to vanilla Minecraft. It also protects nations against admin abuse, as it more deeply connects the people to their leaders, and thus the entire group have to be bad eggs to cause much harm. And even then, other nations can balance them out.

I think it would be really interesting to have a Minecraft server that was basically Greek mythology. What do you guys think?

sounds awesome!

That sounds really cool!

Thank you so much!

Yeah it’s a great idea. My only concern is that we’d run out of things to be god of.

Lightning, rock, air, water, ground, agriculture, forests/plant, fire, End, Creation, death, life, animals, light, darkness, redstone, and others to name a few. We might even have enough for multiple god-players per nation if we get creative with it.

oooh def gonna be part of the redstone nation if the server has geyser, I love making flying machines

Me too! That or the Creation one. They could be part of the same nation.

Cat-out-of-the-bag: We sometimes use threads for certain holidays/events after finding that users with less than ideal values were harassing projects and studios we feature for that holiday/event.

Maybe people on the Scratch website are being racist and homophobic/transphobic more than misogynistic?
