Re: Welcome!

Cool! But if they're featured who's account will it be on? Lol, it feels weird seeing this extra forum!

Edit: Yay, second post!  big_smile

I may need a team...

Pretty cool idea. Those sprites could have many uses.

EDIT: This area/whatever could use a description.  tongue

Re: Welcome!

Shiiiiiiiiny new forum  yikes

Good idea for a collab challenge! I probably won't enter, since I can't work in a team on a project for my life, lol, but still.


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

Re: Welcome!

I have a question. What type of "graphical effects" can you add? Apart from the general scratch effects of color, mosaic, transparency, etc. could you...

-stretch/flatten the shape?
-add a face to the sprite, to make it like a character?
-make the sprite much larger/smaller without using the scratch size system (due to minimum and maximum limits and bad appearance in some situations)?
-(added) change the axis of the costumes?
-(added) change certain colors of the sprite not allowed by "color effect" (ex. changing the white in the ball to a different contrasting color like say, blue?)

Those are just a couple that I have came up with. There's probably some others.

At some point in the project the sprites need to appear in their current colored form so everyone can see that they're in there. But as you can tell, there's a lot of flexibility in this challenge.

Sorry to see you're mad  sad  The idea of the collab challenge came from our collaborators at University of Pennsylvania. They have been planning this since last year.

Yes, you can resend and make a note that it overrides a previous entry.

Re: Welcome!

I like this idea a lot, but am confused on the rules.
First Lucario621 ask a good question here.
Second, can you enter more then one person under one account?
And finally, other then the three sprites, what can we us? Whatever we want? Do you just have to have those sprites somewhere and use other sprites wherever?

Not sure on your other questions, but -

Yup - you can add pretty much any sounds, backgrounds, and other sprites, as long as you use those three sprites somewhere (and as long as they're not inappropriate, of course) ^^
