Revolutionary Project.

I know that was pretty exaggerated....  tongue  But I need help to carry out this project that would change the way drawing is received on Scratch. A mesh draw-chat.

How does it work? Well, I'm not really a programmer......so, I'll just say the raw basics, which are pretty confusing.  lol

Users go on Mesh.
Each have their icon as a sprite. This is what they will chat with.
You have the standard art "program" set up. The users will collaborate to make a drawing, and to chat you make a simple block set-up.

Say [insert comment here] for 2 seconds


You could keep renewing the comment, by deleting it and writing a new one, then pressing space again to post another commment.

  Questions? I know this is hard to understand, but thanks for your time.

Re: Revolutionary Project.

I could help with the mesh...

Although I don't think you'll be able to do this without some messing around with the source code.

Re: Revolutionary Project.

hmm  Well that's unfortunate. How is mesh programming different from the usual? Just wondering, I might want to get into it.

I'll still mostly stick to animations and art, though.

Re: Revolutionary Project.

I don't know. I'll mess around with mesh and see what I can do... I think you should use BYOB, as it has more mesh capabilities than Scratch itself does.

Re: Revolutionary Project.

I could do this easily by using a method of data transfer on the pen data, like with my Line rider game's lines.

Re: Revolutionary Project.

But she wants it to be mesh, and I don't think that'll work with mesh.

Re: Revolutionary Project.

I made a collaborative drawing studio with BYOB some time ago. An ask block comes up and your pencil says something on the other computer. Let me find it...

Re: Revolutionary Project.

From what I have heard mesh will only work with 2 connected users.

As I said, I have worked out how to transfer lists between connected individuals.

The only thing that will not work will be the many clients connected at once.

That's fine, I wasn't looking for a huge meeting or whatever.

That would be awesome, Greatdane.  big_smile
