Scratch

Ok I uploaded it. This one that I uploaded, should be the current official engine to make additions to as of now. Now what I need, is to have one of the programmers, to make it so if the Scratch Cat asks a question instead of just an answer (I have it programmed so if you put an asterisk in front of the message, as in in the Words & Replies list, it asks a question, instead of just saying something), than it will ask you to respond. I think thats step one, to making this more advanced.

Wow, good job! I will get The-Whiz and Pinochio(when he gets better) to work off of this one. I will make some peer edits right now and re-upload.

BTW, I told you not to use sounds! You didn't listen to me! But they are way cool! There is no lag because of them, it didn't really buff up the file size, and it's pretty cool! Thanks for not listening to me!

Lol! Well I was thinking of recording yawns, but partly that wouldn't work, and I didn't want the file size to get to big, so I just used the midi sounds that scratch came with. Let me check out the edited version. P.S. What happened to pinochio and The-Whiz? they aren't doing much...or atleast they haven't said much rather.

EDIT: I looked at the edited version. Not that you changed that, but they were nice I guess. For the question about how you are feeling, I think we should add different moods. I say we should first discuss this before we make any of this mood stuff official. I'll talk about this more later... Something tells me you messed up some of the Words and Replies, and added some { and } in the wrong places. I'll fix it...but make sure you know what you're doing  . Because at Line 73 there was an extra { or } (I forget which), and it messed it all up, well atleast partly. I think its still a bit glitchy though (but not your faul). Luckily I fixed it.  Although its ok you added some phrases. But why did you change it so the scratch cat doesn't rotate anymore? That's like, loosing the point that there should even BE the space background... And make sure its when the stage is clicked, not when you press the right arrow key, because when you are typing in the entry, you will not be allowed to change the background. I'll re-upload with all of the fixes... Also I made some minimal edits to your new entrees. And I deleted the mood things, because I think we still have to decide on that.

What about jacool? I haven't heard ANYTHING from him really.. Anyway...lets choose the key moods. This could be from 3-8, but they have to be basic, yet different, and easy to categorize phrases and words into. I have a couple:

Generally happy - Not super excited, and not sad or angry at all.
Generally angry/dissapointed - Something ruined his day a bit, but he's not throwing a complete temper tantrum.
Sleepy - He doesn't want to be bothered much, he doesn't talk in detail, and well he's not happy or excited

What else...

P.S. Should we maybe put this into like, Show & Tell? We could ask a mod or make a new thread... because I feel like this doesn't belong in Inspiration and more. Nothing big, and not really required though...

I don't think we have to worry about the filesize, considering, its currently like, less than 1MB So not that much...

Okay, sweet, I'll take a look at it. And I also haven't heard from jacool, I'll ask him if he doesn't want to do it anymore. And yeah, I'll also ask for this to be moved to Show and Tell.

EDIT: I checked it out and it seemed no different. What were the exact changes you made?

EDIT 2: Just to let you know, when you are going to make an update use the latest one. If I were to make an update now, I would use yours because you are 0.2.2 which is the highest. I am not saying you didn't, I am just letting you know.

I can't do it anymore... I've got more in school than I expected. This year is my last before I go to "Gymnasium" (Swedish school which you start in when you're 16) so I have to work very hard. Sorry....

Its ok.

That means adriangl, theres an open programmer slot. How about I invite RHY?

I really recommend RHY if he wants to, he is an awesome programmer and he can make really neat graphics.

RHY...RHY.. is that a nickname or an acronym?

Nickname. They're username is very long...

Yaaay can I join? I can design graphics, expand the phrases list a lot etc. Also, of course, code features.

You are in. Go to my page and download my version, it is the latest, and you can add onto that. The format is basic, but complex, here is what you do.

 Question/Word - Type something that a user can say
{ - Starts the answers
Blah
Blah
Blah - Type all the responds the cat could have
} - Ends the answers

What we are all doing right now is just adding more sentences and words, that's what you also do. We will work on the other things later. Welcome to the team!

OK - I need a .txt Export of the Commands list (you all must know how to export lists - if not see Paddle2See's tutorial) and I'll start adding a lot to it.

Also - a good addition would be that if it's not on the list it goes through processes that detect what the user is saying, like (If answer contains "Why") say I can't answer that question/I don't know etc. and if it isn't on the list and isn't a question the cat should say something like "What?" or "Sorry, didn't get that"

Wait, do you want the list of commands, or do you rather want the list of the Words & Replies that contains the answers, and the redirects and such? Because I'm thinking you might want that, but I'm not sure.

I want the latest list data (commands, responses etc). I can export it myself from the latest project if it is avaliable.

Latest available project is mine. 8 commands, many replies. And I like your idea of the why and "I do not understand" thing. I will add that as an idea.
