To-Do List:
   -make a "robber" graphic (mostly done)
   -make an AI brain
   -menu system (done last probally)
   -intro & plot?? (should this be added?)
   -roads next to houses only; houses not next to each other.
    and the list goes on...

Credits:
   -thebriculator: Initiator; board stamping engine (hexes-numbers-ports); city and
    road snapping code and stamper; dice, hexes, numbers, and port graphics.
   -AgentRoop: Turn system; alternate graphics for hexes and dice
   -general1: preliminary graphics for resource cards

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO JOIN:
   -Ask nicely. This shows how polite and formal you are.
   -Give a brief synopsis of your previous collabs.
   -Say if you've played Catan before; this is very necessary to making the game.
   -Describe your programming skills; your skill level and graphics or coding.

Changelog:
   -1.0: Random hexes and numbers. Picture tiles and top-to-bottom format.
   -2.0: 4/18 Brand-new start. Random Hexes, numbers, and ports. Ability to stamp
    settlements and cities. Solid-colored hexes and side-to side format.
   -3.0: 4/28 Cities stamp behind grid; only one at each vertex. "Please wait" screen is
    implemented
   -4.0 5/5 A turn system with a next turn button. Better graphics but not perfect.
    The road costume for stamping, but it won't snap to where it's supposed to, yet.
   -5.0: 5/9 Roads can be stamped; integrated into the city-selector.

Yay! I hope that we can get more helpers! it would be exciting to have lots of people working on this! btw, should we make a list of what we need to accomplish to finish the game?

Why the  hmm  face? They don't look like they do in the game, but they look good.  smile

Re: Settlers of Catan-Collab

As i suggested below  http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/AgentRoop/2516493
- specify the number of players  2 to n
- add a one player mode and some AI
- I would change the board and modify the game,
  as there are already sites on the net to play the original.
Cloning is honing technical skills, but zero innovation.

My contribution: mentioned ideas, all talk, probably no coding  tongue

It's not that kind of road snapping.  hmm
The roads are like buildings in the game and they have to snap to someplace in the board. Nothing actually rides on the roads.

A snapping road template algo is a snapping algo, snapping anything.

I checked your latest version again, houses do snap already.
So road snapping can be emulated by using the pen command from
one snapping circle to another. Or add a third snapping circle in the middle
of the hexagon lines including storage of an angle to snap road tiles there.

what we need is a sprite for the roads to align to the lines on the board, similar to how the settlements align to the vertices. The sprite also needs to point in the right direction.

About the other sites-I can't play those, so I want it on scratch.

But the best super-complicated thing that could be added would be Mesh. I have none of that experience at all.  sad
