Because I know how many times the links are clicked.
And theyre much shorter.

Hello and welcome to the forums! I suggest introducing yourself in the New Scratchers' forum. You are more likely to get helpful tips for starting out in the forums there than here! big_smile

Also, back on topic, I think we should find a whole bunch of commonly used scripts and make them. Then we can discuss on how to make the script more efficient and simpler to use. For example, the toggle switch. I gave a version of it, then JSO gave a smaller and more efficient version of the switch too.

That's considered spam. It has no purpose, and is not helping in any way.

Like put the pics of the scripts on this page? I was kind of thinking of that. That would also make it harder to navigate, though.

Well, maybe make separate "tutorials" on how to script certain things and each script is in a separate post.

Though I was meaning, we should also discuss specific scripts and make them better and more efficient, I was using the Toggle Switch as an example, where I posted one, then JSO posted a better one.

So we think up a script, we improve it to it's maximum, then we link to the improved script from the main post. It wouldn't make it any harder to navigate since it's what we've been doing already.

okay. how bout one page of tutorials, and replace the links up top to posts down here? That works.

Yes it actually is. I added it under 'References'

http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?id=88611 might be a good post for optimizing projects too.

Sonicfan03: Could you explain the use of those scripts? smile

hello12345678910 · 2012-02-11 22:17:42
