Alright... As for jobs, so far we have:
Me (Thrystor): Stars and planets, maybe implementing the shop fragment (I'm good with importing projects; I gained lots of experience from the Scratch Carnival).
trinary: ***GRAPHICS***
christian2000: ***GRAPHICS***
ads98: Our leader, of course.
dbs: Other
Blob8108: Good advice.
lukanater: maybe shooting (Showed some interest?)
Dinoclor and bobbybee: Undetermined
Remaining jobs: Enemies, slowing the scrolling background, fixing the gravity script (my job?), making upgrades usable, and anything else you can think of.

An uncertain and certainly incomplete list. In other words, it's a start.

Don't do anything yet; once everyone knows and agrees with their job, we can start these things ONE AT A TIME.

Ehem.

Ah, yes. You would be in the "Undetermined" category. What would you like to do? Maybe slowing the scrolling background? That REALLY needs to get done. As I said though, don't do anything yet.

Someone can make the laser sprite. Draw it in a drawing program and upload it to Dropbox. lukanater has clearance to program the shooting engine as soon as the laser sprite is done.

Alright, sweet!

Well, this is interesting.

Agreed. I'm gonna look at the guy (posts/project, history)

Someone should contact that guy (the one who made the Elite forum thread). We still have 1 space left!

Yes, I can check the thread, but I am very limited. Don't expect me to fully be able to help until the 2nd.

I'm pretty good with scrolling.
How much slower does it need to be?

Slow enough to cover the whole map. If you need to, you can duplicate the scrolling background sprites.

I've seen some of his programming before. He's pretty good.

Edit: Can I work on the shooting script, then replace the image once its been created?

Edit2: Also, trinary, I was really wondering, if I fire the laser and it goes off the screen and theres an object off the screen, do you want it to be able to hit it? It would be very difficult to do this, and I don't know how it can be done, but I can easily build it so that if the ship is moving, the laser slows down.

Go ahead. I'll check your work afterwards, and I might add in a few things (Like more stars and planets)

wow lol, I've been calling you Trinary all this time... Sorry Thrystor    Trinary's in this collab right though?

Yes.
Am I supposed to be working on anything?

no

laser!!!
We need a laser!

I'll start on the laser and clean up the graphics, then.

Aw, sweet! I've built the shooting system, just need to make sure it looks good with the actual laser added.

I've built the shooting engine guys, waiting for someone to supply the laser sprite!

I'm ready for another assignment.

Edit: I believe I've worked out a very simple system of gravity.

heres a sort of description:

The planet goes to the desired scrollX/scrolY (of course.)
if the distance to the player is less than 400 (or whatever you want. You can even take this out to always move towards all the objets.)
then we point towards the players ship and change scrollX by the sin of its direction, as well as changing scrollY by the cos of the direction.

I have tested this in my own project, and it works quite smoothly, and almost identically to our current one, except there now isn't a HUGE script in the playership area...
