A penstick is a little bit of portable computer memory that you can put files on from a computer to take them around with you and put into another computer that goes into a USB port. They're very useful.
Here's the animations.

Twilight sparke (rainbow ponies) discovers the horsemeat scandal on scratch

Sorry for being random!

oh. I call what you call a pen stick a memory stick or a flash drive. I've heard it be called thumb drive and USB stick but I guess penstick is another name for it.

Yeah. Them things. I've never heard one  called a thumbstick before. Do you like the animations?

YUSH! the a-bomb one has a nice 3D effect. I think I posted that as a comment.

Normal explosions: each type of tank has diff explosion.
A-bomb (or nuke or atomic bomb or whatever): destroy ALL tanks on player's screen (good technique = move your tanks away so that they aren't where enemy tanks are, use nuke)

He electric explosion's for weirder attacks, lasers, plasma, bosses?

I guess. In my opinion we should get something less scribbly and more professional looking. If we do the messyish thing, everything should have a messy theme. Just a point. I think that the a-bomb is fine tho because they ARE really quite messy.

Stick men look messy. Explosions are messy. Anything more complicated than a stickman with a cool head would be a bit pointless.

I guess. I still kinda think that it should have a little more orderly of an explosion. like a science fiction type of explosion. I'm making an idea. we can all vote when I'm done. I'm currently just trying to figure out how to export the thing properly from flash.

Messy explosions can be for objects. Tidy ones can be for people and players.

exactly what I was thinking. tidy for tanks too.

shall I do some tidy ones then?

uh... I'm working on it. I have the animation but I'm trying to get them onto scratch.

EDIT: I've managed to upload it. this is link to project. It kinda has a mini implosion effect before it goes poof.

Linklover, numberonegamer-sound effects- make explosiony noises and tank noises if you can find them, or it you can make them. 
Nomolos, ianthestuntman, hang on a bit. If either of you can do graphics, one of you do player designs and one of you do buttons for menus and and stuff ( like 'play' and 'instructions' etc.

Cool. Get them to do coloured stickmen with heads like those from spirit run. Lots of tank designs- the player should be able to upgrade the tank, maybe change the colour, make it stronger, faster.
Also, different sized crystals for money. Killing different enemies gets you more or less cash. We also need background designs. Are you sure your friends are okay with this?

You know the player design in spirit run? There's a red one blue one ghost one etc, well if it has a red head, the lines that make it up should be red, with reddish flames. For the player designs, download spirit run, and play with the player sprite, giving it a body, maybe with flames to match it's head.

has the site been made yet? if not, how's it going?

Okay. Cool. I'll have a look as soon as I'm on a computer. If only I'd read this earlier today. I was on a computer just a couple of hours ago. 

I don't think so. I'll contact the sound guy (name temporarily gone) and get him to do some sfx somehow. I don't have anything to do right now do I?
