Ah, i see. One day i'll catch up with y'all math wise, i do truly love it the best of all subjects. 

Maltese_Falcon: Thanks, i see now.    I was thinking, "Square root of -1? Isn't that like impossible or a very very small number?" I know about powers, but i didn't really know the operator for it, "^", now i do., thanks to you.

Well, (in reply to your comment to Maltere_Falcon) you can take square roots of negative numbers. The negative just turns into an i, which is defined as the square root of -1. Now, you can do basically any square root! -16 becomes 4i, -81 becomes 9i, and so on. And you can even take the square root of imaginary numbers, which become mixed numbers (part real, part imaginary). 

As for math, it is truly the best of everything. If you ever can, I'd suggest going to some math tournaments because they have these awesome math problems that you will find no where else. They require quite a bit of thought, which I love.

Yeah, i like thinking about algorithms and the like.

And so do I. For example, a few weeks ago, I discovered this equation:

cos(ø) = sqrt( (cos(ø/2) + 1) / 2)

It's the half-angle formula for cosine. That was a bit tricky to get, because I had to go through an infinite series, and solve a quartic equation with quadratic properties, though in the end, I got it.

There ya go.

Wonderful! I had just imagined that you had somehow hacked Scratch and had created a music generator that created a sound based off of its sound waves, though this is still a nice alternative. By the way, have you found any nice combinations yet?

Well right now, it is just a "boring, lazy" sign. It's not as if it's some secret message from the Martians that the Earth is going to be invaded. *Hint* *Hint*

Well that's wonderful! I always like to see people try. Anyway, before you join, could I have two ideas, one about exploding things, and one that's an RPG?

By the way, good luck. ;)

Hi!
I am running very low on ideas.
of ideas 3-4
ideas on a new project
description: I like to make adventures, platformers or puzzles, high in graphic quality (very good drawer).
anything else: if any extra ideas are given I will give credit either in the notes or at the end of the game in a credits section.
will return every day in the morning and night (wakes up early)

thanks!

Hmmm, adventures, eh?

No action? Let me think.... done.


Order up!

For: sammyuri

#1 Electroid - Adventure side scroller/platformer.

Description:

You have power, the battery you're in doesn't. You have good will, the electrons and discharger polls don't. You want to save the battery you're in, the battery doesn't want anything and can't seem to make it harder. You are the Electroid.

- To be honest, i do not totally know what an electroid is or even if it exists, but basically it's a ball of positive energy.

Gameplay:

- The goal is to charge up the battery cells at the end of each level.
- You must collect enough electrons to charge them up, but beware... The more electrons you have, the shorter electroid line you can shoot.
- You don't jump, but shoot out electroid lines to receivers to reel your self in/swing to a platform.
- If you touch a discharger poll, then you lose electrons. If you touch one with out any electrons then you lose a life and start the level over.
- There are also protons floating around the levels. If you collect one, your controls are switched around, or reversed. If you get two, they are switched around again, and three will correct your controls and allow you to fly. You must hurry because it only last a few seconds.
- There are some atoms that would like to take your electrons. To defeat an atom, you must shoot it with enough electrons to cause it to be negatively charged. Then, it will explode and give back all the electrons and more.


#2 Tryson Ranger - The mission to Condor - Over head/side view adventure game. (Really uses your art)

Description:

You are a Tryson ranger. You posses amazing training in the elements. You have been sent to Condor, the ravenous moon of the near by planet Eurious, to protect the settlers that are building a base there. You start by just destroying the ravenous animals and beast near by, but are suddenly called to investigate the volcanic ocean side mountain of Genger. It is there that you find that the attacks on the settlers are engineered by none other than the Nazi revival, a terrorist organization bent on the destruction of humans themselves.

- The story is subjective, that's just one idea.

Gameplay:

- You must fulfill the tasks given to you, usually saving a base or town.
- If you want to, you can have it so that you build your own character. If not, then this is really an RGP.
- This is mission based, and could also have an arcade section, like a real game!
- You are on different map based off of the mission, and you are limited to how far you can go.
- You attack by using the elements. Okay, so this gets a little complicated:
     - You must find 4 hidden tablets(like an ipad if you know what i mean,) to gain a skill in the elements. You start with one of three basic elemental powers of your choice, Energy, Gravity, and Ore. You can pretty much determine what each of the 10+ elements do and are, but i will give these three a definition:
NOTE: after the slash is what this power can do once mastered.
     - Energy - Through energy balls/ hold to charge enormous ones.
     - Gravity - Push enemies into each other/ Pick up and throw enemies within a certain sized circle.
     - Ore - Make a defensive shell around you that shatters when released and damages enemies/ Using the power of the Ore, change an animal or enemy to your side. - You are vulnerable performing this.
- To master an element, just score over 1,000 points in a mission using it.
- If you are near a structure that is akin to the element you're using, the power of your attack will be increased. Sometimes this is necessary to destroy certain large beasts.



Well, please tell me if you're going to use any of these. Also, even if you're not, please tell which one was your favorite. 

Regards,

CAA14

Can I make a signature for this?

# of ideas: 3-6
Ideas for a animation.
Description: I am a amateur animator on Scratch, in fact, I just started today. I myself am very random. But sometimes my mind just goes blank. So just pick anything. I don't care, and I'll try to make an animation out of it.

I think Ernie will ask you to think up to ideas along certain lines, so until he's on, we wait. 
But i am sure you'll pass.

Of course you can! All I need before you do join are two ideas, one about something you recently learned in class, and the other being an arcade game.

Good luck with your ideas!

Well, I can get what you mean when you're mind's gone blank. It's happened to me before and isn't the best thing to experience, and so I'll help out. Here are some ideas:

1). Most people have played Minecraft before, so why not make an animation about your creations? Or, you could create it about something humorous that you've done in Minecraft. For example: Buttonz

2). Waffles. Lots of people like waffles, so why not make an animation about them?

3). Jokes in general are good for animations. If you've ever heard one, you could make an animation about it.

4). What if everything in life was programmed by scratch blocks? That'd make a nice animation. ;)

By the way, I just looked at your most recent project, and I like how you squished THE and End into THEND. It was creative of you.

Anyhow, I hope that you like my ideas! Also, helloJigsaw79 and welcome to Scratch! I hope that you'll find everything great here!

With regards,

Ugh... Another schedule change. Normally I have more time, though again, I've run out of it. I promise for certain I'll be back tomorrow with some juicy ideas. ;)

You know Ernie, i think me and firedrake can get this one. That's what extra members are for.
