This is a weekly magazine, and an issue is released every Saturday. If you are interested in joining, you might want to read the following information:

If you want an interview request or a review request just click the link containing the text!

Please visit our website at http://scratchazine.tk to apply.

*Note: When you join, you have to be active and good grammer skills etc, not just a list or some text speak.

Updates:

12/8/11: This update space will be more active, and 2 more people will become vice editors; one for website editing (I need an e-mail address (not personal please!) and one to help write the actual magazine every other week (along with undefeatedgames). [By the way, that won't mean they both write it every other week, they take turns to write it every week].

24/6/11: I can no longer edit Scratchazines for Fridays, and so to make them better will release on Saturdays from now on. Thanks for your patience!

Best Project: Mario and Luigi - The Revenge of Kirby Part 6 (but I can do much better tongue )
Time Active On Scratch Website: Since 2009
Time Using Scratch Program: Also since 2009
Position Wanted: Interviewer
Reason For Position Wanted: I've had a show called Scate's Interviews on Scratch since 2009 (and it's on Season 3 right now big_smile ) and I learned that it's fun to interview people, and I like the different purposes there are for interviewing a certain person (for example, I'm interviewing [insert use here] because he's making Scratch's next big game).

I hope I can qualify for the job. ^^

EDIT: I forgot to say, I once interviewed cheddargirl, SunnyGuy, and technoguyx, and I wrote them down on my computer. I can give you the one I'm most proud of if you want.

searcher/rater=reviewer...

jji7skyline · 2011-05-09 22:59:36

My best projects are Skyline OS, a few small games and a big game I'm working on called the virtual world of speed - though still in alpha stage.

I have been on scratch website since early to mid 2010 but I've used the scratch program since late 2009.

I would like a project reviewing and column writing position, I already do it for Scratch N Stuff which i suppose is your rival and you may not let me in but the scratch n stuff mag seems dying (sorry scratchlive!) but if that position's not available then anything else will suit me fine. Maybe a how-to column?

kayybee · 2011-05-09 23:40:39

Congrats, I have one too.

With one different vowel.

Why don't you just make a discussion forums instead of having to break the rules and talk about one's emails? Forums will make things much easier.

All4one · 2011-05-13 20:07:13

Sorry for not posting an interview yet, I plan to start one with JRHGames today or tomorrow. In the meantime, here is an old interview I did with technoguyx last year (I think). I hope it can be used in the magazine (unless you want your interviews to go with current Scratch news)!

Interview with technoguyx

Description: Technoguyx is best known for creating musical masterpieces and putting them onto Scratch (and Newgrounds now, too) for other people to enjoy, and has been widely acclaimed by many. I was able to sit down with Techno and ask him a few questions.

All4one: What got you interested in making music projects?

Techno: When I got an acoustic guitar, I started composing some songs, that later were tabbed on TuxGuitar and added to the 1st and 2nd song packs I made. I was inspired by many rock bands, mainly Metallica. Their music is awesome.

All4one: Do you have a favorite song of yours that you composed?

Techno: I have a few. Mysterm Room from 3rd Song Pack, and Trip to the Ol' Country and Summer Holidays from the 4th one. I like how these came out.

All4one: If you could collaborate music projects with any Scratcher, which would it be?

Techno: I don't many people that compose music as well. But probably dingdong because I know he composes music, too, out of the many Scratchers that play instruments. If you like techno you must check his work out.

All4one: Do you use any other programming sites or play an MMORPGS?

Techno: I play Roblox, a popular online game where you can build with Lego-like bricks and script with a variant of Lua. I know some basic Roblox Lua, just enough to modify scripts and figure out what they do.

[/interview] Yeah, that one ended abruptly. I also can give you my interview with cheddargirl, but on a separate post or this one would be too long. XD

Another archive interview of mine...

Interview with cheddargirl

Description: Cheddargirl, best known for being a community moderator on Scratch, was able to answer a few questions on one of her projects.

All4one: How long have you been a mod?

Cheddar: I've been a mod since August 2009.

All4one: Do you use any other programming languages?

Cheddar: Aside from Scratch, I also know C++. I've also used some other programs that require some coding and programming knowledge, such as Flash, Apophysis, and Wolfram's Mathematica.

All4one: How did you learn about Scratch?

Cheddar: I learned about Scratch from my programming professor; she was using it as a way for students to learn about programming in C++.

All4one: What's your favorite projec tyou've ever made?

Cheddar: My favorite project I've ever made? Hmm...tough one; I like them all! XD Okay, if I had to pick just one, that might have to be my platformer "Yu-Gi-Oh! Rise of Apophysis v2" game because I spent a great deal of time on it (from recording the platform engine to custom editing or even drawing the sprite costumes myself); it's still a bit glitchy, but pretty proud of the end result.

All4one: Anything you'd like to add?

Cheddar: And for my end note? Well, I guess I could conclude this interview with a fave saying of mine, "The power of remarkable changes are in our hands." The Scratch community, like any other community, ahs its ups and downs. Each and every one of us has the ability to move Scratch in either a positive or negative direction. So let's use our power of change to move Scratch in a positive direction!

Gyah, I think that should be "designing" not "recording".

Oh, dear, did I really say "recording" in the original interview? It just sounds so silly.^^;

XD I'm not sure if that's a typo by me or not. Do you think I should change it to "designing" instead?
