Scratch

I am curator for March 2nd- March 15th.  I plan to copy The- Whiz’s method (thanks The- Whiz) and curate 3 new projects every 2 days.  I chose this way because I think it will give each project adequate and close-to-equal time on the front page. I will list and explain my choices here.

March 2nd

3d wire renderer by Prestige
This is a great project that renders realistic 3D shapes very quickly. The interface is simple and easy to use and the scripting is ingenious.

List made Space Game by AtomicBawm3
A one-script zero-sprite game thats “playing field” is just one list- what else can be said? I can’t imagine trying to make that (of course, I’m not into making games). I really like how the Time, Score, and all parts of the game are shown in one list.

How to make things snap to a place! by ragthebest
This is a nice tutorial on how to make objects snap to a grid, which is something many users need help with. It is easy to understand, and I like it because it shows the result of the script, not just the script.

March 4th

Tessallate by Jasper
There are other tessellation projects on Scratch, but this is the only one I’ve found that’s interactive. I like it because it allows you to make your own shapes to tessellate. It is useful to download it and put it on presentation mode.

Arroz by Nitezscratch
This is a simple, yet very addicting game. It is cool that it records your high scores in a list.

Firework Study by grizzledbeard
This is a very realistic simulation of fireworks, and really fun to watch. This user has a lot of good projects, and you should check them all out.

March 6th
Plancton by ClubLudo
This is a great game with great graphics.

quintuple circle by DaMafflesFractalLab
This is an awesome looking fractal and it’s really fun to watch render. It’s slow, so you should download and put on turbospeed.

Command Bot 1.2 by xraylive99
This is a great, simple, easy to use project that is fun to mess around with and could be used to introduce children to programming. Look at xraylive99’s other projects too!

March 8th
Europa by ffred
This is a great project to test your knowledge of European capitals. It is cool how the countries light up when they are asked about. ffred has some other really awesome educational projects. Look at them all!

The Challenge by nielsytime
This is a really fun, addicting, and well made game. It’s cool how certain levels don’t unlock until you beat the previous one.

R2D2 Trasnlater by Leylosh
It’s so fun to hear your name “spoken” by R2D2! This project makes great use of lists and is very clever.

March 10th
Sorting Algorithm Animation by ngmr
This is a great was to learn about some sorting algorithm. It’s great how it lets you visualize the different methods.

Rotational Deflection V2 by Zathos
Rotational Deflection V2 is a very enjoyable, challenging game. Zathos’s other games are cool too!

linez 0.6 by linezgames
This clever art program allows even the worst artists to make awesome designs! Also, the color changer is an interesting idea.

March 12th
win_the_mustang_V1_0 by grandloup
This is an awesome representation of a classic probability brainteaser. I like how it creates a graph of the results!

SnowFlake2 by armagon
This is a really imaginative, but simple idea. The results are fascinating and beautiful.

Curveball-Scratch Edition by marcsteene
This game is fun to play and the 3D effects are cool. The backgrounds are really awesome.

March 14th-Happy Pi Day!
Rhythm Pattern Matching by nebomusic
This is a great way to quiz yourself on rhythms! I like how it plays back your rhythm so you can hear if you did it right.

Zones by Chischb
The concept is simple, but the game is amazingly fun and challenging. The scripting is clever- the background appears to change but doesn’t. It’s 1s1s!

korok_circles by szalmabog
I really like how gives what circle you want to draw- you click for the center and drag to the edge of the radius. It’s unlike any circle-drawer I’ve seen on Scratch. I wish I would have thought of it!

I had a great time curating! Thanks to everyone who supported me! I am leaving for vacation in a couple minutes, so I won’t be online for about a week.
