      <title>Really Simple Trigonometry Calculator</title> 
      <link>http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/coolstuff/507786</link> 
      <description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/coolstuff/507786_sm.png&quot; width=&quot;148&quot; height=&quot;111&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;Right angles! Adjust the A (opposite side) and B (adjacent side) side lengths and then watch Pythagorean Theorum figure out what the hypotenuse is then calculate the angles and sine, cosine, and tangent are! Sure, complain - but it was fun to make!

Change your &quot;a&quot; and &quot;b&quot; variables and press the green flag to calculate!</description>

      <title>The Little Pointless Project</title> 
      <link>http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/coolstuff/502890</link> 
      <description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/coolstuff/502890_sm.png&quot; width=&quot;148&quot; height=&quot;111&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;This is a rather pointless project. Just playing around with the ball thing is fun though :) Arrow keys to move.

You may wish to make this into a game. I guess it could be a base for one!</description>

      <title>Broomsticks</title> 
      <link>http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/coolstuff/500267</link> 
      <description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/coolstuff/500267_sm.png&quot; width=&quot;148&quot; height=&quot;111&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;This is the first project I have made in a long time. The project has been long in the making (e.g. about 3ish months?) and has been posted as a beta before.

More to the point, this is a modified version of Quidditch (from Harry Potter). Hit one of the black balls (Bludgers) and you end up right back where you started. Take the red ball (a Quaffle) to one of the nets and you've scored.

.:: Controls ::.

Arrow keys to move, though there is no down arrow (FOR A REASON). You also need to tap them (FOR A REASON). Both inefficiencies were deliberate hence the &quot;FOR A REASON&quot;.

Don't forget to love it :)</description>

      <title>Simple (yet limited) 3D</title> 
      <link>http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/coolstuff/486769</link> 
      <description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/coolstuff/486769_sm.png&quot; width=&quot;148&quot; height=&quot;111&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;This is, once again, my first project in a long time. In short, it's a 3D square that draws *extremely* slowly (that will be fixed shortly). The cube cannot yet be rotated and can only be moved up and down (as can the eye level - which I called the horizon). I will likely add the left/right shifting sometime soon, as well as width (as right now there is only height).

For those who are interested, this project uses two-point perspective to operate. That's why there's four sprites - two to handle the drawing (one for the left side and one for the right) and two &quot;vanishing points&quot; which contol the horizon and the angle of the lines.

Remember, it is not yet finished!</description>

      <title>Minesweeper</title> 
      <link>http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/coolstuff/399753</link> 
      <description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/coolstuff/399753_sm.png&quot; width=&quot;148&quot; height=&quot;111&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;FYI: It's 1 sprite 1 script!

If you don't know how to play minsweeper, I ask you, where have you been for the past fifteen years?

It's unfinished (there's still a few features I need to add, like revealing all of the mines once you lose, flagging, etc.) but it works perfectly fine! No bugs as far as I can see!

The only thing is that you can't win. So give yourself a victory dance because it can't tell when you win.</description>

      <title>Arithmancy</title> 
      <link>http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/coolstuff/334516</link> 
      <description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/coolstuff/334516_sm.png&quot; width=&quot;148&quot; height=&quot;111&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;Doesn't work online. Please download and open in 1.3.1 (NOT 1.3) 

Arithmancy is divination, basically. Instructions are fully included. The calculations may take up to thirty seconds (on my computer) so be patient. It is rather slow when typing, so be slow. Enjoy!

EDIT: after a wee bit of testing, I found that only the character number works :(</description>

      <title>Draw and Compress!</title> 
      <link>http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/coolstuff/307723</link> 
      <description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/coolstuff/307723_sm.png&quot; width=&quot;148&quot; height=&quot;111&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;Draw your shape, then, when you're done, press compress! It doesn't record when your mouse is down, but it will draw a straight line from where you left off and to where you clicked again (unless you press compress). It simplifies the shape.</description>

      <title>Velocity Dragger</title> 
      <link>http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/coolstuff/271615</link> 
      <description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/coolstuff/271615_sm.png&quot; width=&quot;148&quot; height=&quot;111&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;Pretty useless. Drag the &quot;drag me&quot; ball around and then let go of the mouse. It flies around according to your mouse's speed! Not very impressive, huh? Yeah, I'll probably remove this project within a few days. I made this by having it replace the original x/y positions every 0.2 seconds, then set the new x/y positions and move according to that variable. Yeah... Not very useful.</description>

      <title>Scratch 1.3 secrets.</title> 
      <link>http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/coolstuff/260533</link> 
      <description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/coolstuff/260533_sm.png&quot; width=&quot;148&quot; height=&quot;111&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;If you don't understand what something means, let me know. The TextEdit window, the Scratch mini-window, and the list pictures are all part of the import list thing. The rest is pretty self-explanitory.</description>

      <title>Asteroids-ish thing</title> 
      <link>http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/coolstuff/259402</link> 
      <description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/coolstuff/259402_sm.png&quot; width=&quot;148&quot; height=&quot;111&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;Not really a game (though I may turn it into one later). Control the spaceship with the mouse. Press and hold space to build up power and let go to release it. It took me a while to get the mouse controls right (so that it wouldn't just keep on bouncing back and forth from an immobile mouse)</description>

      <title>How To Annoy a Harry Potter Fanatic</title> 
      <link>http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/coolstuff/240126</link> 
      <description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/coolstuff/240126_sm.png&quot; width=&quot;148&quot; height=&quot;111&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;... or learn where they learned to annoy you. 

NOTE: I have been getting a lot of comments asking why I hate Harry Potter - which, in fact, I do not hate at all. In my opinion, Harry Potter is the BEST thing on the planet. So please, don't post a comment like that. I made this due to the fact that I, being a Harry Potter fan, know how to annoy myself. Thanks :)

press space to go to the next slide. 

Just follow the step-by-step instructions with one of the three methods and you'll have an annoyed Harry Potter fan! Go on... Have a laugh... Enjoy... if you love it don't forget to press the love-it button... 

NOTE: This was originally a school assignment and was printed out in booklet form. Because of that, it may seem a bit confusing as it makes references to it being a booklet. Ignore that. I would've copy-&amp;amp;-pasted the entire assignment but that would've caused more confusion.</description>

      <title>Pellets!</title> 
      <link>http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/coolstuff/237893</link> 
      <description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/coolstuff/237893_sm.png&quot; width=&quot;148&quot; height=&quot;111&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;Quick - catch the little orange pellet! Whoah! A red one appeared! Best not touch it! No! I didn't make it to the orange pellet in six seconds! I LOST!

My little story caught your attention, didn't it? It explains it all: use the arrow keys to move the grey pellet around the rectangle. Try to grab the orange pellets - but usually by grabbing those, a red pellet appears. Don't touch those. It'll cause a game over. Also, not making it to the pellet within six seconds of catching your last pellet causes a game over. Sometime's you'll get trapped... Sometime's you'll get suprised...

Post your highest score as a comment!

Supposed to imitate an older game. Did it work?</description>

      <title>Semi-3dness</title> 
      <link>http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/coolstuff/230893</link> 
      <description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/coolstuff/230893_sm.png&quot; width=&quot;148&quot; height=&quot;111&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;Half-3d with no perspective. Things just move according to distance. Very basic. Not hard at all. Left and right arrow keys to change your position. And yes, I know the shading is incorrect.</description>

      <title>YAHTZEE! (Download to play)</title> 
      <link>http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/coolstuff/229887</link> 
      <description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/coolstuff/229887_sm.png&quot; width=&quot;148&quot; height=&quot;111&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY ONLINE

My version of the game Yahtzee. If you don't know how to play the actual game, you should probably google search the instructions. Please notify me if you discover any glitches. Gameplay is pretty straightforward, but when you get to the category selection (3rd roll, the roll button disappears, use the up and down arrow keys to make a selection then space to select. hold/release dice by pressing the small buttons beneath the die you want to hold.

Just fixed a few bugs. Should be fine now.

Doesn't work online. Download to PROPERLY play.</description>
