The only incorrect thing is that Scratch was actually first made(Well the beta that is) on January 2007 not May 2007, but everything else is true

Paddle2See Paddle2See* 1 month, 3 weeks ago

I think May is when the "official" release was - probably the release of the website.

I was telling my school's bookclub about scratch before too!

How did you get a block to be a sprite?

Paddle2See Paddle2See* 1 year, 2 months ago

The first way is better if you want to remove the gray background behind the block.

Paddle2See Paddle2See* 1 year, 2 months ago

There are two ways to do it...I'm not sure which I used here. One way is to right-click on an empty spot in the Scripts area and chose "Save picture of Scripts". That will save it to a file which you can then import into a costume. The other way is to right-click on the stage and chose "grab screen region for new sprite" then grab the script you want.

theres one that no one has found...it's to do with a red hexagon

Paddle2See Paddle2See* 1 year, 2 months ago

Ah! I see what you have found! Those numbers are hidden sprites that I use as place markers for locating the cat and the block sprites. Good find!

Paddle2See Paddle2See* 1 year, 2 months ago

Count again! There are eight sides on that sucker. That's an octogon. But anyway, what about the Stop Sign; what did you find.

Really Good!

Cyclone103 Cyclone103 1 year, 3 months ago

Actually, to fix the (%) variable walkback, after you x out of the error window, click the variable delete button, and delete the variable. It goes back to normal!

funny cat! I like how his eyes get red and he yells at you! VERY FUNNY! SERIOUSLY! that is so cool!

2natsgirl1 2natsgirl1 1 year, 3 months ago

Hey one more thing. Would you mind if I used that video and sent it to my friends. I want them to consider playing or creating on scratch one day. So would you mind if I sent them your video.

Paddle2See Paddle2See* 1 year, 3 months ago

Go right ahead...that's what it's for.

2natsgirl1 2natsgirl1 1 year, 3 months ago

Are you like part of the staff on Scratch? You are an awesome game maker! Can you PLEASE make a game where you are running away from a mummy?

Paddle2See Paddle2See* 1 year, 3 months ago

The mummy game - I'm not making any promises...I'm in the middle of a bunch of projects for the 1.3 release at the moment...but I like the idea and will give it some thought. Thanks for the encouragement!

Paddle2See Paddle2See* 1 year, 3 months ago

No...I'm not really on the staff at Scratch...I just like it so much that I have been demonstrating it for some classes to show kids what it can do. Also I'm a Forum Moderator. I'm glad you like my games! The mummy idea sounds interesting...maybe something like you have to run from one spot to another while one or more mummys chase you? That would be cool if you could hide behind things to escape them...maybe there could be safety zones or something...interesting concept!

i also have another question. i'm working on a destop buddy and i want it so when you click it, it does a random animation. can i use the scrits that you used in the scratch logo, or is there another way to make it random?

Paddle2See Paddle2See* 1 year, 4 months ago

You can use my scripts...but they are not random. They change by one every time it is clicked. However, it would be very easy to make them random. Just have the Poke Count variable set using the Pick Random block (under the Numbers area).

uh, what's a sytax error?

Paddle2See Paddle2See* 1 year, 4 months ago

It's when the computer can't figure out how to run the command you typed in - because you messed up the "sytax". You miss-spelled a word, or left out a comma, something like that. Scratch doesn't have this type of error, because you click and drag blocks to make the program, you aren't typing in commands.

Very good presentation! Can I translate it to Portuguese and than use it?

Paddle2See Paddle2See* 1 year, 4 months ago

Sure! I hope you find it useful.

deatheater deatheater 1 year, 4 months ago

Nice! They make a pretty good demonstration of Scratch's graphic effects. I run the project once so the kids get the information, then I run it again and show the graphic effects. They seemed to like it!

Very nice! I'm sure this will be very helpful to beginners on scratch!

I am emailing this to people who do not know about scratch.

Paddle2See Paddle2See* 1 year, 4 months ago

That's a cool idea! Let me know if it attracts anybody.

Cyclone103 Cyclone103 1 year, 4 months ago

Hehe, my favorite error to get is a walkback. Try making the variable (%) it messes up! Just press teh x to get out. Another error I like is setting a variable to sqrt(-1) which is an imaginary number!

thelasthorizon thelasthorizon 1 year, 3 months ago

i tried that and now it won't let me go to varaiable anymore that stupid message comes up what do i do?

gadgetman gadgetman 1 year, 4 months ago

what about 0/0=square error!,syntax error!

Paddle2See Paddle2See* 1 year, 4 months ago

Nope! That's a runtime error!

dapontes dapontes 1 year, 4 months ago

that's a good idea to presente "SCRATCH" in greek language. But i must find a way to ... write in greek. The scratch doesn't ... speak greek! I hope for a translation, soon!!!!!

Paddle2See Paddle2See* 1 year, 4 months ago

That is a problem! You could create the Greek text as costumes on a Speech sprite. It would be more work though.

Scratch could be PowerPoint killer for presentations

Paddle2See Paddle2See* 1 year, 4 months ago

You can certainly make a more interesting presentation in Scratch...it does take a bit more work though.

I'M IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL!

chalkmarrow chalkmarrow 1 year, 4 months ago

Nice! You may want to mention within the project that the project itself is made in Scratch and shared on the website...

Paddle2See Paddle2See* 1 year, 4 months ago

That's a good idea...right now I give that information as my commentary as I show the project. It's really just a framework for me to talk to.

fullmoon fullmoon 1 year, 4 months ago

I've been thniking about making something like this in Flash, for fun if nothing else.

ffred ffred 1 year, 4 months ago

It looks great. Perhaps I’’ll be able to translate it, in future, to my young Portuguese friends.

logan996 logan996 1 year, 4 months ago

even more GREAT for new users!

dsdude10 dsdude10 1 year, 4 months ago

pretty cool! it's like an ad for scratch

Paddle2See Paddle2See* 1 year, 4 months ago

You nailed it...that's exactly what it is :)

Cyclone103 Cyclone103 1 year, 4 months ago

I think it is wonderful that you made this!

Paddle2See Paddle2See* 1 year, 4 months ago

Thanks...I made it more as a crutch for me, so I wouldn't miss any main points. I use it as a framework and fill in more information as I talk to it (that's why you can manually control the timing). Plus, it acts as a demonstration of Scratch.
