This topic is win.


Now only using this account to post in Miscellaneous, but when Miss_Webgal becomes a Scratcher I'm ditching this account.

If this wasn't what we've been doing for 2 years, I would agree.

But that is not the case.  sad

Right now this isn't what you're doing. Instead, you're acting idiotically by attempting to mass-produce games just to get on the front page. Pathetic, one might say. Pitiful. Moving and emotional. It makes one's heart feel sorrow and only sorrow.

There are a lot of benefits to making simple games.  They are easy to learn and usually run well in Scratch - even online.  They are quicker to make.  I think it is a very good decision to make many small, games that run well rather than large ones that tend to lag.

If you still haven't figured it out:

Simplicity comes with education, runspeed (less lag), and production speed.

More production speed increases product, and product of product, or education.

To put it even simpler, simulations will make a comeback as well as games.

And Scratch will benefit even more.

Excuse me, I love my simple games. But you're missing the point entirely: You're still mass-producing games for the sake of a few more games on the front page. You're releasing them in a rush. You have no time to think about what you're making. You're like a robot. It's like playing a piano piece without emotion. You're producing sound, but there's nothing special about it.

That's important. Great idea! Create stuff with emotion...
Maybe I'd add that to Reboku.

Yeah, I feel the same way. To make things just to get attention on a kids site, I think there should be more too it. Clearly scratch is good with simple games, but should you spend you time making a cookie product that you already know how to make? Wouldn't your time be better spent making something new and trying new things?

And support for this method.

That's right, I had fun making this game and it's officially swtiching to The Proper Method.


I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos
