Can't we stop all these "method" threads?
It's really annoying me now. First it was the boxsox method which was Ok. It was ORIGINAL!!!
Then the quality method came on in. That was copying TBM a bit but it was a nice alternative.
Then pretty much overnight. 3 Methods came on in with differnt methods.
Can't we just stop. TBM and TQM (boxsox and quality) method was Ok, but then it went rampent.
If I was to create my own method, it would be there is no method and you can do what you want to do.
Dun dun dun dun dun dun.... dun dun dun dun dun dun...

And the archmage 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

Re: Can't we stop all these "method" threads?
this is part of the reason why i deleted the Q method, that and i loved cocoanuts idea so much. anyway i'm not viewing those topics anymore and im just going to create games the way i always have. all dg games projects get put on the website and get like up to 200 extra views anyway so im good lol.
btw the dg games site is www.dg-games.com if you want to see what im talking about
anyway i dont wanna seem like spamming though lol.

Re: Can't we stop all these "method" threads?
When a Bosox project gets views, many newbies will download and see how it is done. The simplicity makes it easy to understand, so it is also educational!
We win, they win, Scratch grows and prospers!
Lets limit it to Bosox, and see if it works. (which it will.

Re: Can't we stop all these "method" threads?
i would just get rid of it because a front page filled with bad games is just as bad as a front page filled with art, at least the good art ones take skill.

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.

Goodnight friend.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.

Yeah, but Paddle2See didn't say anything about making emotionless, bland games.
Wouldn't it be silly to hear Paddle say, "I think it is a very good decision to make many small, bland, tasteless games instead of a large, emotional game"?

See drippy. See Twisted Ninja! Many of his games were rushed, but he had mostly good.

Re: Can't we stop all these "method" threads?
i think all you do is present the same argument and if paddle2see hadn't said anything about simple games you would've died of chronic argument loss.
well more of debate then argument.
frankly, the bosox method is a bad idea and i'm continuing to make games the way they should be, with time and effort.
