Hello everyone,

I haven't used Scratch for a few months, not since Scratch 2.0 was launched. I was just wondering if anyone knows of any good projects which demonstrate the use of:

• Cloud Variables

• “Make your own Block”

• Clones
  

At the moment I sort of know how to use them but I feel that the best way to learn their uses is through examples. The only projects I've seen are very complex and so I would appreciate if someone knew any simpler (but not too simple) projects that could help me.

Thanks

this doesnt go here but there is the newest featured project (natural unnatural) for clones.
my project asteroids for cloud data
and i do not know one for make your own block.

Since you asked, here are a few projects that you can look at:

Cloning:
The Hunt
The Billion Button
Element Particles

“Make Your Own Block”:
Custom Block Shop (Should be self-explanatory.)
The Ohio Caverns (Look under the Images sprite for this one.)

Cloud Data:
The Billion Button
Vote for Sriracha!

Clones

Thanks everyone

I couldn't think where else to put it. I needed help for using the new blocks for scripts. Hence, Help with Scripts

Cloud variables are used for simple voting projects like Macs vs. Windows, high scores, etc.
Clones are used for games where stamping won't work (the stamps need to have scripts).
Make your own Block is used for shortening scripts if you use a block a lot and for creating workarounds for other blocks.

Hope this helps!

Here is a pretty simple example of clones.

http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/11059216

Just remembered that MrLog made a nice little example of a ‘shooting engine’ using clones for the ‘bullets’, and little particle-based explosions when they hit the edge - also using clones.

http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/10008903/ (Scratch shoots flying hippo )

I think it's a decent example because one sprite (cloned) does all the work of the bullets, and another does the particle explosions (and that also shows simple use of a local variable to detect clone vs original sprite).

Enjoy!

another clone project is monster camp
