Hi! Just wondering What is "pen" and what do you use it for? Could anybody give a demonstration?

Bluestribute · 2008-06-26 23:19:27

Any drawing projects, like a paint program

The pen allows sprites to "draw" on the Stage. Each sprite can control whether or not its pen is leaving marks on the stage using the "pen up" or "pen down" commands. Also controllable are the pen size, hue, and brightness (as well as a specific color). Finally, "stamp" will make a mark of the sprite on the stage, like a stamp. This was one of the last functions I familiarized myself with in Scratch, but also one of my favorite. Here are some notable projects featuring the pen tool, and some of mine roll .

Paddle2See's Son Of String: God only knows where Paddle2See gets his inspiration, but the world is a better place for it. This project showcases Scratch's ability to redraw lines somewhat rapidly.

Jens' Clones: The first time I used the stamp tool, I could have sworn I had found a way to dynamically duplicate sprites. Jens makes good use of the stamp function in a similar way here.

Cyclone103's Quick Draw: Example of a technique where the pen continually draws and erases lines between moving points to create the illusion that the lines are moving.

Canthair's Full Raytracer: don't even try to figure this one out. I'm pretty sure that Canthiar is a robot; but is he a good robot or a Microsoft robot?

AddZero's Random 3D Sculpture: Another QuickDraw project, only with a lot of scary math.

S65's Ultra-Fast Raycaster: Draws a room really, really fast with some somewhat annoying music. Gotta love this one!

Chalkmarrow's Bamboo: A nice change from all the evil math in the preceeding projects. Fun to watch, too!

relyt12101's Paint Scratch Pro: Shows off basic drawing techniques.

Paddle2See's Fuzzy Paint: A very fuzzy, artistic paint program, in contrast with his Tech Paint, which is more precise and mathmatical.

My Realtime 2D Game Renderer uses only the pen to draw a simple game. Lots of fun, if you're into simple games.

My Orbit Draw: Ok, maybe not so famous, but it's fun to play with!

Wow, that took 20 minutes! Oh, well, hope this helps!

Hey! I don't know where Paddle2see gets his inspiration! Sorry, inside joke I need to remember when school starts back up. Anyways, it's also good for, as Fullmoon said, to duplicate. In a game I am working on, I have the sprite stamp rather than using almost over 100 sprites, not to be off-topic.

thanks!!

If you want to learn how to use the pen blocks, look at those projects. They are all great projects with pen blocks! (Psss.... the best is the 8th down smile )

chalkmarrow · 2008-06-29 21:19:31

Fullmoon has put together here a really good outline of some of the best pen projects. Dare I say, "sticky"? I would add something very basic to the list (though I can't think of anything at the moment)...

Yes. In Scratch's pre-made sprites, go under things, than click drawing_pencil. Than edit it costume to a single dot, and voila, you have it!

fullmoon · 2008-07-02 19:37:39

Oh, and you'll want to hide the pen, too.

It has actually been made sticky lol! I just noticed that.

http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/Bluestribute5/205557 That uses the stamp to give the illusion of 4 cats, when really, I use just one

My pen art 1.3 should help

This has nothing to do with the topic, I would suggest you create a topic about it in show and tell instead of here.

Dont post that. That is Off-Topic. Both of You.

Well, it is not really off topic because I mentioned my project which involved stamping, which is a pen function, and bluestribute acknowledged that his project was based off of mine, and I commented to let him know that I had seen.
