Re: Welcome!
Cool! But if they're featured who's account will it be on? Lol, it feels weird seeing this extra forum!
Edit: Yay, second post!

Re: Welcome!
Shiiiiiiiiny new forum 
Good idea for a collab challenge! I probably won't enter, since I can't work in a team on a project for my life, lol, but still.
Now only using this account to post in Miscellaneous, but when Miss_Webgal becomes a Scratcher I'm ditching this account.

Re: Welcome!
Hmmm, this sounds interesting 
Not sure if I will participate, but it's a possibility.

Re: Welcome!
I have a question. What type of "graphical effects" can you add? Apart from the general scratch effects of color, mosaic, transparency, etc. could you...
-stretch/flatten the shape?
-add a face to the sprite, to make it like a character?
-make the sprite much larger/smaller without using the scratch size system (due to minimum and maximum limits and bad appearance in some situations)?
-(added) change the axis of the costumes?
-(added) change certain colors of the sprite not allowed by "color effect" (ex. changing the white in the ball to a different contrasting color like say, blue?)
Those are just a couple that I have came up with. There's probably some others.

At some point in the project the sprites need to appear in their current colored form so everyone can see that they're in there. But as you can tell, there's a lot of flexibility in this challenge.

>< Dicha take the idea from me?
Ironic how I asked about putting the scratch off's winners on the homepage and this surfaced.
Sorry to see you're mad 
The idea of the collab challenge came from our collaborators at University of Pennsylvania. They have been planning this since last year.

Okay, so I submitted the group, but more people want in
I have no idea how to change it
Do I just resend the application?
Yes, you can resend and make a note that it overrides a previous entry.

Re: Welcome!
are we allowed to rotate the images?
Here's a project that I think will really help people out

Re: Welcome!
I like this idea a lot, but am confused on the rules.
First Lucario621 ask a good question here.
Second, can you enter more then one person under one account?
And finally, other then the three sprites, what can we us? Whatever we want? Do you just have to have those sprites somewhere and use other sprites wherever?

Yup - you can add pretty much any sounds, backgrounds, and other sprites, as long as you use those three sprites somewhere (and as long as they're not inappropriate, of course) ^^
