Scratch

I also suggest 08jackt as the curator.

I would be honored to be a curator. I think I'd like to show the less acknowledged, well done work on Scratch.

I'd like to be a curator... mainly with games. I'm a gamer. I would probably pick games that use good detail and and smooth controls that are easy to use, but not to complicated. Not a game that would be like, to control this, use Up down left and right arrow keys. After you do this and this, use wasd keys to control this, while this, while you can control this with Keys qwerty.  I would pick simple, fun games that everyone could enjoy. I usually hate violence, so I would pick pretty appropriate games. Please choose me!

If I'd be a curator the truth of Scratch would appear: Not being famous. Creating the best projects possible. I think that more good, unnoticed projects would get attention with my little help 

oh cool love this idea i want to be one. i like realy good games that people have and cool animashions and stuf from peoples pages i would like to show they are realy neat and some havent even gotten featured the only time they might have been on the front page is when they upload them. thanks!

Hmmm... Sounds rather convenient. How will the Curators be selected?

I would like to become a curator, because I am looking for ways to improve the way scratch projects work. I've been experimenting with different velocities and theories, as well as the math section of scratch, and I'm trying to recreate classic games using scratch. I've worked on games such as n-ball, the classic online game, the impossible game, from addicting games, and Sinta, from ninja kiwi. As well, I am trying to create fun new games, many of which scrolling games, such as wine world, the fun game where you have to get through a huge obstacle course, all within 70 seconds! Some of my ideas for scratch projects, have been invisible sensors that can detect slopes and walls (to prevent glitching and color coding), and sprites that can be modified to be up to ten times larger than the screen! Another idea I had was making a list, and adding a new spot for each enemy in an rpg that controls their individual scrolling factors, as well as health. Also, I came up with a way to make many moving sprites at the same time, only using on sprite. My biggest idea, one that I am currently on a quest to do, is create a mod on scratch that can add a third dimension by measuring all of the sides, as well as the top and bottom of a sprite, and then re-creating different appearances for each different FOV angle, hopefully without using ink.
     If I became a curator, the kind of projects I would show are projects that help the community of scratchers build off of each other’s ideas, and come up with new ideas to make programming on scratch with the available tools easier, and better. My biggest goal would be some kind of breakthrough. Whether it be a third dimension of rotating, or more advanced starter templates that further show the technical uses of scratch, such as sprites that even when inactive, move their body in slight movements up and down, or even breathing or arms swaying a bit. Or perhaps a way to make a new sprite for each body part (hands, feet, arms, legs, and so on), or even sprites that simply act as ligaments allowing the main sprite more freedom to move around without the need for many different costumes.
     Now, I am not exactly popular on the scratch website. Not many people besides my friends in real life view my projects, or comment about them. However, I am NOT doing this for popularity. I would even be willing to make a new account just for curator business. But there are a lot of great scratchers out there, like BOSOX, and KERORO645, and M44, and ADDZERO. I know that if we ALL work together, and build off of each other, we can do amazing things. Scratch is like a 1960 artificial intelligence lab for kids and adults. It addresses you a problem, and it is completely up to you to solve it. So I think it's our duty as scratchers to show our thanks, and keep turning scratch into one of the biggest sensations on the web! Before I knew about this website, I was stuck making incredibly simple games that hardly even worked. Now, with the help of other scratchers, I amaze myself with all of my projects, and I am proud. That's why I want to be a Curator! To show my thanks to all of the people who helped scratch get where it is, and to help everyone on scratch reach their full potential!

Past posts on this topic have said that there will be a new curator would be selected after around a week or so. Hope this answers your question.

How many curators are there so far?

There has been one so far.

i'd like to be a curator... i would choose projects from authors who are not very well known, because sometimes the best work isn't widley known. And if i just picked stuff already on the front page what would be the point? and i will try my best not to just pick evil projects. evil. EVIL. MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!! Ahem...

Hi I would like to be a scratch curator because All the times I've been here I've learned new things everyday. And I've met great friends with cool projects. I would also like to help because being a curator or a member of the scratch team that would balance myself between resonsibility and creativity. Well  it would also give me an oppertunity to find out if I'm supposed to be destined to a writer or an artist. It would also be nice to express my opinion about other projects I have two accounts magabella and DaneX
