My story:

I started programming with Scratch a while ago but I didn't make an account until about a year later. I know a couple things that could probably help other people. I like helping others and would love to help even more.

Other people might be sort of like that also.

Please consider this.
Good Luck!

That's what signing up is for. If you think you can help people, tell me, I'll put you on the list and we'll go for it! It's not like it will harm anyone.

=================================================================
Please add me to the list of people who can help for physics.
=================================================================

EDIT: How about an "answers" forum on which people are not supposed to post? The questions asked in a "questions" thread will be posted, with an index at the top (with a big notification saying "DON"T POST HERE!"). That way, we'll have a long list of answers to common questions, almost like a Scratch guidebook.

==========

Example Format:

Question
New_Scratcher11: How do you make a character jump?

Answer
Experienced_Scratcher: It depends how you want the character to act.
If you have gravity, create a variable for "y momentum," and use this script:
(example script here)
If you simply want the character to move up, and then return to the ground, use:
(example script here)

==========

The first post on the "answers" thread could contain an index of questions, so that the same question is not asked twice.

Support?

Good Idea! But I'm currently in the middle of finals, so if one of the people already signed up, such as you, could set it up, that would be awesome.

Hardmath123 · 2011-05-25 07:45:53

I'll help.

it depends on what you want to do, look at my "Dataworld" scrpts for when up arrow pressed, just change the block "chenge scrolly by yspeed" with "change yposition by yspeed"

tell me if you have more questions

Another question.Is it possible to make a character fight?If it is how?

How about each scratcher offering to help says what they are especially good at so that new scratchers have an idea of who to choose to pick depending on what sort of project they want?

I think that SanityMan is right. Some New Scratchers are people who didn't make an account until a while after they start programming.

Try a forever if instead of the if, if that helps dude. (and Im not even part of the help team that this forums based on, though I'd like to join!) big_smile

rontoking · 2011-05-31 12:48:37

I would like to help others too big_smile

jTron · 2011-05-31 18:24:46

Can I help?
I remember being new to Scratch a few years ago and jumping right in, but I wasnt sure at first

Princess26532 · 2011-06-02 12:29:36

Cool idea! Another forums I read talked about going to the Newest Projects, picking one with little views/comments, and making a nice comment with some constructive mixed in to encourage new Scratchers. It inspired me to do that every time I went on Scratch! And one guy added me to his friend's list just because I wrote an encouraging comment on one of his projects.

I'd like to help! Honestly, I don't know a lot in programming, and am more of an encourager. If you want, once I am assigned to a Scratcher, I could look at all their projects, comment encouragingly, and boost their confidence.

Anyways, great idea for this all!
Scratch on!!

I'd Love to help!

I am always on the lookout for NScratchers needing help with code (if/when Kiley doesn't get there first lol )

I would like to help and I must agree to the idea of specific genres of learning.
i.e. if someone wanted game making help, I could help them a lot, but if they asked me for indepth AI help, their AI would end up epicly failing with me as a guide lol

owetre18 · 2011-06-09 17:06:30

I can work on pixel art. Just ask! (put on list, please) I also do programming and sounds, also ideas. Really, anything! Just ask!

PlutoIsHades · 2011-06-13 20:10:30

I'd love to help! Can you please put me on the list please?
