Scratch

Hello, New Scratchers! My name is Codebreaker, and I'm sort of a new scratcher too. I've only made one project so far, but I'm bound to make more! I know that at first, Scratch can seem huge, but really, it's just a group of people like you, who want to simply CREATE. Scratch is like an Urban Environment, ready to be explored. Before you know it, you're going to be creating fun, creative games, animations, and much more! If you need any help, post it in the forums! There are many different forums, each of them with a different purpose in mind. Here are most of the forums, and how to use them:

1) Announcements

The announcements post should be seldom used, unless you want to say something really important. Otherwise, the announcements post is like a Newspaper. You read it to see what's going on.

2) New Scratch Members

This is where you can post things that you think are going to help New Scratchers. You can also post things here if you are a New Scratcher and want some guidance.

3) Show and Tell

This is were you can advertise your projects and galleries. Here are a few tips:

Be dramatic! Advertise like you've never advertised before, especially if you've never advertised before!

Try to make people find a reason to want to go to your project.

LINK LINK LINK! You have to link to your project!

Say that you're wearing a Tuxedo. Things always go better when you're wearing a Tuxedo.

4) FAQ

Frequently asked questions. Go here if you have a question that you think has been asked before.

5) All About Scratch

Any Question, Any Time! This is what the All About Scratch post is for.

6) Advanced Topics

Wanna get technical? This is the place to go! If you have questions about how Scratch was made, this is the post for you.

7) Suggestions

Do you have a change that you would like to see done for the Scratch Website, or for Scratch? Post it here!

8) Troubleshooting

Have you had any trouble with Scratch? Like, Bugs and Virus's? Well, post your problem here.

9) Sensor Boards

Topics relating to Scratch Boards, PicoBoards, and Scratch sensing and responding to things happening in the world around it.

10) Collaboration

Wanna work on a project with someone? Have an idea that you would like to publish, but need some help from someone here? Well come here and try to find a partner here.

11) Requests

If you want some Art or something else, post it here. NOTE: DO NOT CONFUSE THIS WITH THE COLLABORATION TOPIC! 

12) Project Ideas

Stumped? You can find great project ideas at this post. Just make sure to add your own kind of unique twist to it, to make it yours.

13) Miscellaneous

Go here if you have a topic that isn't directly related to Scratch.

Hope I helped!
