Scratch

Hello Liquid Metal:
This summer I am working with a program called Stencyl. It is very similar
to Scratch. I will be back to doing Scratch when the new version comes out.
  I have a new concept for doing colabs (similar to remixing). I put my programs
on my Yola website, complete with source code. This allows anyone to remix
my programs and put them on their website. Then i can get their programs and
put them on my website. I think this may be the future of Internet gaming.

Sorry, I have to resign. Bye. 

Why?

I have a lot going on. Outside of scratch. I have 5 skits to practice for. And I have a lot going on inside scratch. On July 2nd I become curator.

Ok, congrats on curatorial, and have a great summer (whatever you do)!

I uploaded a brand new scrolling project to the server. You just add terrain costumes and it works.

I didn't add velocity and I didn't do anything with the movement of the wheel yet, I'm just testing how I'm going to get it to scroll -- I plan to eventually get it to stamp two terrain costumes at a time; It will find your location and stamp the two nearest costumes only, to avoid excessive rendering, but for now, it renders excessively and will stamp every costume of terrain every time you move.

It should work fast once I figure out how to do just 2 at a time..

You were supposed to edit mine - not make a whole new one!

A few points on my scrollX project:
1) It is at least 50x faster (so far - good luck fixing up yours!) (Yours is that slow with ONLY FOUR COSTUMES!)
2) Basic sensing can be accomplished with <touching [terrain1 v] ?> and <touching [terrain2 v] ?>
3) It does not need stamping, so the pen tools can still be used for something else. (Do we need the pen tools available for something else?
4) Color sensing can still be used for precise physics - maybe we want to use this anyway? and then either scroll project would be OK?

For now, we should try to make sure that either scroll project will be as easy to integrate into the main project. 

A note on the border - we may use a dashboard extending from the border sprite in this project, so stamping will not have the ugly effects it normally does if we decide to use it, and the border won't look to atrocious, because it will be more then just black lines.

I looked a little at your scroll project, and at a glance, I couldn't figure out how to make it stamp only the two.  If I try harder later, I'll let you know.

But we don't need it to be hyper speed. I know mine's slow, but if I can figure out how to make it stamp only two at a time it'll work great. I decided to go with stamping because that would only require one terrain sprite and it would make it less confusing to add on new terrain--we'd still have to figure out essentially the same thing with two alternating terrain sprites (making the right costumes appear and having them alternate is like figuring out which two to stamp at once).

Yeah, I think we should use color sensing, but if you don't want to have the land limited to one color, we could have a sensor underneath the guy's feet and have him fall when the sensor is touching only white (this is after the import, because the blob guy won't rotate like the wheel).

I can't think of anything else to use the pen for, but if you had something in mind we can go back to two sprites.

Sorry about making a whole new one, lol. I was impatient. XD

Also... we are the only programmers active, can the other guys help?

My scroll project already switches to the proper costumes, the only problem was when you get too close to the edges.  I'll have to polish it if you stubbornly refuse.  Maybe I'll take out the wheel, and use a slider for testing.

Our sensors could be a separate sprite, so even with the wheel, it could be made to work.

I'm also impatient, thats why I'll try to fix mine up ASAP.  I am going out for the day soon, but I may be able to get to use Scratch where I am going.

Should I assign everyone to the scrolling? Or what?  Maybe I should put Locomule to work on the color sensing bit (he is also pretty good at that,) and I'll give ber(x4) a graphics job?

Oh, sorry, I didn't notice that your project already switched. I thought there were more problems than there were, sorry!

Yes I like the Idea. it sounds good so now we can get on with the game and think about what were adding or should we think more about who you are and what happened?

I think A good name could be andrew or james. They sound like they could be good in representing the character of the player.

Brothers name:Mike,kevin,Tom,John.
    Last   name:peras,lowera,Lasel,karas.

four choices for each.choose.

UMM...For the last names Mender,westers,bells,lands.

Are these good?

Hahaha, Andrew is fine with me! For his brother, I like John.

Ok, so the main character's name is Andrew, and his brother's name is John (aka Johnny).  metal509, any thought on their last names?  And btw, I put some more projects on the site: some starting graphics for the game and an updated scrollX project.  Go have a look, and let me know what you think.

This seems like a good situation,Give your company to me or we'll make you.

I was thinking a manufacturing company.  Something along the lines of stealing patents or market manipulation.  But not too simple.  Something creative.

Should it be big(Car)or small(credit card) type of company

I have to quit.  I'm spead to thin.  Sorry.
