Do you normally write project notes?

Well I've been kinda drawn into writing project notes. I don't mean a 'description' but actual changes made from version to version. I have no idea why.

Any of you do this?  hmm

Re: Do you normally write project notes?

I always have the feeling to just put SOMETHING in my project notes. It doesn't feel right to me to leave it empty (test account is my exception).  hmm

Re: Do you normally write project notes?

I always put in project notes.....I don't do games or anything, but I put in what the project is about and all that.  smile

Re: Do you normally write project notes?

I always put in project notes, even if all I have to say is "Yeah." or "All in the title." or "Do I HAVE to put notes, guys?". Or sometimes even "There are no notes", just because.  tongue


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

Re: Do you normally write project notes?

I do. Usually, if I'm uploading something that's an upgraded version of a previous project, I'll use the project notes to wrote a general description of the changes I made (a more detailed description of the changes is usually found inside the project in the forum of comments).  smile

I usually write notes four times the length of the project screen.

[offtopic] Aw, man! I lost the game! [/offtopic]

Now, on topic. I usually do, I always have some kind of urge to write a description with something random in it.  tongue  Plus, since most of my on-computer files are WAV, I can't important them onto Scratch, so I'll usually have to borrow and give credit.

Find someone post count. Click posts under username. Find number of pages. Times that by 40 for min and 60 for max and you have a rough estimate of post count.

Re: Do you normally write project notes?

Unless it's just a request thing I've uploaded on my test account, I'll at least say "Enjoy!" or something like that. Leaving it blank just seems wrong to me.  lol

Re: Do you normally write project notes?

I almost always write project notes, and except for on self-explanatory or test projects, they tend to be rather long too.

Re: Do you normally write project notes?

I write extensive project notes for an initial release.  Then, I document each change made when I fix bugs or add features to a game.

For example, check out the notes on this game: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/BoltBait/1610128
I've seen shorter books!

Or, this game: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/BoltBait/472525
