Spectrum Draw

Just click the green flag and watch, every 300 dots the brush becomes smaller and makes it more accurate.

Hold space to slow the animation.

3D Model Solar System Demo

Having fun with AddZero's Random 3D Sculpture engine! This isn't scientifically accurate (in relative size or distance), seeing as I had to compress 4.8 billion linear miles of space into a 480x360 rectangle. It doesn't include the Oort cloud, comets, minor planets, MyRedNeptune, moons, or the asteroid belt, but I'm working on all of those things. The controls are self-explainatory, but try holding down space to control positioning with the mouse. Again, most of the credit goes to AddZero, I just figured out how to make the points move in circular paths and added a (faulty) layering system. Have fun! Again, I have no idea what Jupiter and Neptune's problem is, but I just got a wacom tablet so it's unlikely I'm going to be fixing it right now :P

LionMakingOf

For Paddle2See, who asked me, how I made stripes of a photograph in my project "Lion". And for all the others, who are interested in.

Moozik Maker

I was putting this together when SonicPops told me 'oh, JSO has done something like that already' ;) His is great, so if you want to make percussion loops you should really use his!

Fuzzy Paint

Paint (kind of) like famous Impressionist Claude Monet! This paint program is all about textures, colors and shades. You control a special Burst Brush to create a variety of texture effects, depending on the settings. You can store the brush settings and recall them later as you work on your painting. See the Instructions after the Title Screen. At least use the Tool Tips by holding down "H" and mousing over the controls. This paint project is kind of the opposite of my previous paint project, Tech Paint. Tech Paint is all about accuracy and precise shapes. Fuzzy Paint is all about feel and texture. Credit is due to MyRedNeptune as I drew inspiration from the color picker in her paint project "Amazing Paint". Credit also to AddZero for inspiring me to put in the color cursor, which I saw on his "Color Picker Doodler" project. Enjoy!

Pattern Maker

Create line patterns using loops.

Pig Latin (String Test)

Our kitten is not old enough to jump through hoops or vote, unfortunately, but for some reason it is able to speak Pig Latin. Type in your name, press the green enter button, and she will try to figure out the pig latin equivalent. This is actually a test of a generalized string system that (slowly) operates on strings that are 16 characters or less. Download the project and look at the "Help" sprite for the messy details. The reason this project is so large considering how little it does is that it is designed to be very general and allow lots of things to be done with the strings. There are comments in the Example sprite, which is the main program that calls the $Screen and $1 sprites. (Additional string sprites can be created by simply copying the $1 sprite and changing its This.Number variable to some unique value).

12xPaint

You've seen this done with the arrow keys...but this one uses the mouse! A paint program that uses 12 brushes at once. CONTROLS: Mouse Button - Pen Up/Down Up/Down Arrows - Pen Size Left/Right Arrows - Background Space - Relocate Center to Mouse Position 1 - Clear Screen 2 - Hide/Show Pens H - Help - Shows the controls NOTES: The biggest problem was making the pen sprites shrink down really small when the pen size was small. Scratch seems to have a lower limit on how small a sprite can be. I ended up having to make a series of special small costumes for the pen sprites for when the pen size was 5 or less.
