#1 thing you're not good at in Scratch
We all have our downfalls. Whether its the graphics part, the scripting part, or something else, just admit it. Share them here.
In my case, there are two.
1. Laziness
-You may have it too, but some things in scratch get too repetetive, and just make you quit working on the project you were working on.
2. Formulas
-Sometimes I need to figure out a formula for something, and I really just don't know how to do it. I swear on some days, I spend up to 1 hour trying to figure how to make a certain formula for what to set a variable to or something.

Re: #1 thing you're not good at in Scratch
What I really mess up a lot with is variables. I can't really find out if I should use <Change variable by> or <Set variable to>. It's just so confusing. So I have to try both and see what works.

Mine is Lazieness. I have been working on the same project since the beginning of summer. I leave it for days at a time without looking at it, and then I binge for a couple of hours.

I happen to be a fast worker when it comes to Scratch Projects, so this is the exact opposite of me.

Frustration. If a project gets to complicated in its early stages, I don't continue it. I'm usually dedicated to finishing one that has come far along, though.
You actually try? Wow, you are really dedicated to projects.

Yeah. Usually I've spent a lot of work on it, and would like to see it finished.

Re: #1 thing you're not good at in Scratch
I'm not so good at coming up with really cool ideas but that's when I look around scratch.
My site Find someone post count. Click posts under username. Find number of pages. Times that by 40 for min and 60 for max and you have a rough estimate of post count.

Re: #1 thing you're not good at in Scratch
For the scrolling-troubled people, look at archmages tutorials, they help a lot and it's not too complicated.
Mine: Laziness. I have literally 28 projects (I counted) that are awesome, but not finished b-cuz I was too lazy to finish them.
There are 10 types of people in this world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't. --[insert unrelated transition]-- GRANDILOQUENCE FTW!

Re: #1 thing you're not good at in Scratch
My graphics part is bad but I think it fits my projects.
Forgetting (?). Usually I work on a project, then I forget about it.

We'd make a good team if we could find an artist... I'm no good with art and I can't think of ideas often... But I excel at programming.
