Scratch

IMO is that we shall make the Phone when Scrratch 2.0 is released, bcoz that wersion will alow REAL web browsing.    Now i'm gonna make an Simple Os 4 tah phone. (im so bored)

Okay,  I think we should start working  on the elite game- any objections?

I may be able to provide 3d objects, but I'm not sure how much I can help without dropbox.

You don't have the Dropbox details yet...? 

Go make a Mailnator.

Go to check the inbox for the new email address. At the top in tiny red writing, just below "Inbox for...", it says the alternate email address for that email (eg. M8R-wedrsj@mailinator.com).

Post the alternate address here, and I'll send you an email from the new email account I made, teamearth [dot] scratch [AT] gmail.com, and tell you how to get onto the Dropbox.

Because you've given me the alternate address, only you will know the actual address, so only you can check the email!

Done!

Ok, since there are no objections we need to get organized. We should assign who does what, and create a timeline so we know how we are progressing.

K.
First we need to make graphics.

I am not good at graphics. I can make models in Sketchup, but not really detailed.

SO,
Is it 2D or 3D?

The first thing after we make the sprites we need to get working is the rocket ship and the scrolling. I suggest we use something like this: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/archtest/1733811 for the terrain.
Then, we make the sensing. Then, we make the inventory and sell/buy system. Then we program enemies. Anything I missed?

hmmm... does mailinator delete stuff after a few hours? if so, could somene send me the pass around 4:00 Pacific (los angeles) time?

It could be either; 3D would be better, and is certainly possible. Elite was such an old game originally that it was probably less powerful than Scratch!

I was thinking of something like this. It would need to be modified a lot, to add massive planets and that sort of thing, but it's certainly do-able.

So that's:
* Trading system
* Pirates

Some other things (taken from my post, which has more detailed explanation):
* A map of nearby stars.
* Space station, perhaps.

We should make it consist of both 3D and 2D, since some of us know  how  to make 3d,  and some don't. Also,  it is important that we don't make the game too complex, we need to set goals what will be included  in our project  (like dinoclor did), and work around that.

You can't have the game be both; it doesn't work. It has to be one of the two.

Whoa! I keep forgetting you're in Great Britain. Here in Eastern US, it's approx. 2:30 PM EST.

Indeed! I forget which timezone everyone's in, too. What timezone are the forums set to?

They are set to US EST because scratch headquarters are in Boston, MA.

I'm 4-5 hours ahead, then. Weird.

I think we should make a 2D version first, and if that is successful, we should try a 3D version. That's just just what I think, I'm open to all ideas.

Good idea. I have no exp making 3D games, and I think most other people in Team Earth don't  either.
