Scratch

Well, the project summaries tell everyone what the game is about, you don't really need them in Scratch. But if you want to look at them, go onto Scratch, then go to file and click open, go to the project that you want to see the project notes on, and just click it (don't actually go onto the project, just make sure it is highlighted). You will see the project notes here.

I've been doing a little experimenting with this but it seems that it doesn't open in Scratch ( Probably unsurprisingly. ) as I wondered, is there anything connected with the Project Summaries and Scratch if otherwise, why is it there?

I opened one of my Scratch projects on my computer, held down the Shift key (I'm using Windows), and *then* clicked on File.  The drop-down menu contained two new items: "write project summary" and "write multiple project summaries."  I chose the first item. And a 'Save' window opened displaying the folder where I keep my files (in Windows, "My Documents") and in the textbox below was the name of my Scratch project *with the file type .txt*.  I clicked OK, went to My Docs folder, found the project text file, opened it and there is an entire summary of the project: how many times I saved it, what name(s) I gave it in its history, the names of the sprites and a listing of all the command blocks.

And now: the BIG question: is *this* what you were referring to???

In its pure text form the formatting of the information wasn't great, but it's easy to reformat it if you want.  I printed out two of my projects just to see them in that form rather than just in the visual form we get when looking at a project in Scratch.

In the case of that particular project, I'd worked on it a long time so it was interesting to see the history of the various names I'd given it, how often it had been revised and all the rest.

It's kind of a shame that it's so hard to find out how to get a listing of a project.  Holding down the Shift key and clicking File isn't very obvious!!!

You're not going to like this answer, but here's what somebody (not you) could do.

Make the summary in text format. Display it on the computer screen and do a screen capture, saved as a .jpg file.  Then import the jpg as a background!  Ta-da!!

Of course that's not what you're looking for.  So that's why I said you wouldn't do it.  :-)
