Scratch

Here are my projects that I like and think you should use:

I chose these because apart from my ones they were the first ones I saw when I joined scratch

There are hundreds of name projects gathered in the Names Projects gallery:

Unfortunately, I have not had time to pick out 5-10 projects representing different levels of difficulty, except that the one my son and I did seems to be at the complex end of the spectrum:
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/kevin_karplus/2159

I think that there should be Names project that uses no drawings (just built-in sprites and fonts), one that uses imported letter sprites, and one that uses hand-drawn sprites.    There should be one that uses pre-recorded sound clips and one that uses only the MIDI synthesizer for sound.  There should be one that is a pure animation (no interaction), one that responds to the mouse, and one that responds to the keyboard.

I have a pong game like the one in scratch right now, but you can control where the ball hits with your paddle!  There are only 4 scripts in it and they are really easy to use.  I think this would be a good sample project on scratch.  The scripts are actually easier to use.  Here is the link          http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/music_man/57890

Here is a simple project (a game called fish!). The main feature is that I have documentation for trainers who want to use it as a sample project.

Here is the link to my simple project and vote called Old Time Fishing!  Read the Notes, because I made it in a new and intresting way Ive never seen before.

You could put my project Sprite Movement Done Simpler.
I think that it would be easier for begginers to move sprites and thus create better games and the code is really simple-no variables and results in fluid movement

I think Mick's project "Code Monkey" is a good music video.  The song is explicitly creative commons, (http://jonathancoulton.com/) and I think it's good to promote these independent musicians.

Might I also suggest one of my Airman releases?  Some are old but ones like 3.0 or 2.5 are good examples of evolved projects.  This is a game, of course.

An older one might be Zippzom's Unlock.  It's relatively easy to code and not to complex.

Would you be interested in a color changing sprite or background?  I have a gallery full.

Okay, that's all for now.

I think that many of Paddle2See's projects would be nice as sample projects. Personally, I enjoyed Ice Bounce and Battleship the most.

I think that my project rescue boat (one of the many versions) would be good to include because it's simple but fun.

Check out my page, there are lots of projects that the Scratch team might want to consider putting in the next Scratch release.  Are you guys working on a new version of scratch.

You should definitely put some of archmage, mitscratcher, or Paddle2See's stuff. They really did some awesome stuff with the program!
