Download the one sprite and 3 scripts of "Number Base Converte…" and open it in Scratch Project Notes
This project converts a number in decimal (base ten [the number system we generally use]) to a different base, between 1 and 36.
A base is a unit of counting. In a base, when a place value equals the base number, it resets the place value, and changes the next value by 1. Bad explanation, I know. Bases are also called radices (it's a Latin work; plural of radix), and so to look it up on Wikipedia, look up radix.
Some common bases are base 2 (binary), base 8 (octal), base 12 (duodecimal or dozenal), and base 16 (hexadecimal). This project allows converting to any base between 1 and 36. Bases that go above the standard numbers (013456789) are represented with letters (ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ).
A note about reading numbers in bases other than decimal: each digit is read individually. Thus, the number 100 in binary (4 in decimal), is read as "one zero zero", not "one hundred". F in hexadecimal (15 in decimal) is read as "F".
Enjoy converting your numbers!

Hate to sound impatient, but can you check your PMs on my forums? :p
Sorry, i haven't been there in a long time. ^^ Yeah, i'll do it soon. :P
Go to scratchcentral.wordpress.com to check it out!
Could you invite "scimonster" to be a contributor?
Looks nice. I'd mainly post about upcoming Scratch 2.0 features, and also some stuff going on on the forums.
(view all replies)Hey Scimonster, can you reset my Scratch Wiki password please? I can't access my account. Thanks.
I don't really have the permissions to do that. Did you change it after creating? If not, you'll be able to get it from (link to wiki) If you did, email wiki@scratch.mit.edu and JSO should be able to do it for you.
Hey! Can you help me out with the Scratch Wiki? If you check the page 'Creating an account' you'll notice I added a point in the tips section about not including 'Kaj' in your username. I've saved this with a reference, and it hasn't turned out right. Can you fix it please? Thanks!
Looks like someone else did already.
(view all replies)Scimonster how does ones project become feautured?
It has to be suggested to the Scratch Team to be featured. The topic about it is in Show and Tell.
(view all replies)I know I'm not scimonster, but a project becomes featured when the Scratch Team feature it.
When Scratch 2.0 comes out I should make a fencing game... What do you think?
Nice idea. BTW, Bizarre icon, lol.
(view all replies)Cool! Scimonster, can you secretly give me the password for 2.0?
Yes, it's a joke. And getting at the source won't give it to you, but on most browsers, you can press ctrl/cmd + U.
Thanks! Even if i did, you need the username. :P You want it? Try this: username: gubbagoose password: rUrlyFooled??
(view all replies)Nice work, I made one on my graphing calculator today and just found this by accident :P Suggestion: Convert any base to any other base :)
Thanks. Yeah, i thought of that. I'll have to work on it at some point. :P
Oh ya, one thing - were you not responding to my posts about the poll mod 'cause you didn't see them or because you don't want to/can't? It's fine either way, just curious. :)
I'll have to see how easy it would be to uninstall that. It was a big mod, with lots of edited files and database tables.
Hai. Just wanted to thank you for helping out with my forums. Words can't describe how grateful I am. :333
It wasn't too much work. :) Just the post glitch was. :P
(I'm sure I posted this before). Sci, you know you offered to help with the forums? Would you mind installing some plugins? When I got your PM I thought that was what you were offering to do, and so I sort of said that you were going to help. And now I've realise I maybe misinterpreted your PM. Was that what you were offering? If not I'm gonna look like a right fool. :S
Yeah, i'll help. That's what i meant. :P
what's it like having that circle next to your username? lol, congrats, sci!
Lol, thanks.
(view all replies)Hey scimonster, I'm not sure how best to handle this, but applejack, Hardmath123, and I were wondering whether our collab camp forum topic could be moved to Collaboration (we still aren't done). Anyway, if it's within your moderator powers, it would be greatly appreciated. Here's the link: (link to forums)
I'm not on the forums right now, and i won't be until later, so i think you should just report it with your request, and whoever gets to it will do it. :)
Great job on getting to be a moderator, scimonster! If there's one person in my mind that deserves it, it's you!
Thanks, IHG! :D
(view all replies)Hey, I saw that you're using the sig I made. Would you like me to edit it to say 'Scimonster is mod' or something? :)
Yeah, the 30x30 doesn't look so great, but then again, neither does mine at that size. :P
(view all replies)I think i like your new icon better than the old. :)
(view all replies)Why'd you change your icon?
(view all replies)No thanks. I like the style i did, with the crossout. :P
(view all replies)Congratulations on being elected moderator! I saw "scimonster°" floating around the site and I thought I should pay a visit. :)
Thanks, amcerbu!! :D
So can you scimonster I know you became I mod and all that but....I said a celb guest! and by now looking at you projects and friend list you are ze cleb of greatness! LOL so can you?????????? I have asked this before and you said you would think about it so have you thought about it????? Sorry I am kinda talk a tive and bossy I also am very good at puppy eyes so I am spiolt. But I am greatfull for it.
Sorry, i don't think so. I might check in to see the results though. :)
(view all replies)Yay, today you get to become a mod! Once again I congratulate you.
I was going to ask you what language your programming book was for. :P Big day for everyone it seems. My sister is starting dance class today too. :P
(view all replies)IKR!!!! :D :D :D :D :D It'll probably happen when i'm off the computer though. :P
(view all replies)Yeah, so I couldn't think of a relevant place on the fora to ask, but how did the chat with Amos go? :)
So excited! Two more days!
(from below) Oh yeah, and ask lots of questions.
(view all replies)(from below) Special permissions could be given if necessary. Also, he mentioned that the current mods and ST are putting together a welcome thread in the mod forum, with instructions, and links to other helpful threads there. And also, we’ll be doing like practice for a week or two before going out to mod the main forums. He said that if I have any questions, feel free to email, but if it’s something the other mods might find helpful too, posting in the mod forum is helpful.
Great! He said we'll start Wednesday, but you already knew that. :P I asked him a couple questions. I asked: There was a rumor that mods could beta test 2.0; is this true? Yes. (:D) Will the forum system change with 2.0? Yes. I've seen JSO do some uploads to the forums. Is this a feature given to all mods, or special permissions for him? It was special for JSO, but if you have patches for the forums, feel free to post the code for reviewing on the mod forums, and maybe he’ll do it.
Woah, Sci, congratulations on becoming mod! Really, you rock--keep it up. :)
Thanks a ton, Hardmath.
Note to anyone congratulating me on my new status: I won't be able to thank you all because of the spam limit. Just know that I am basking. :P
WOW you did it youll be a mod soon!! WHOO scrimonster!
Scimonster. ;) Thanks!
(view all replies)Congrachulayshuns. :3
:D
>.> I just noticed you weren't on my friends list anymore. D:
Must have been an oversight. :P
(view all replies)VOTING TIME IN 8 HOURS OH MY GOSH!
7:10!
Sorry to be off-topic, but good luck in the elections tomorrow! It's going to be close - there are so many great candidates, even after being narrowed to six! Anyway, judging from your use of the forums, I think you have a very good chance!
Thank you! And comments on projects don't have to be ontopic. xP
Btw, cool converter.
Thanks!
http://majorrom.com/personalfilehosting/sci.png Image for your campaign
Added it to the list!
:D thanks for adding me to your friends list :D
It makes sense; after all, we are making a site together. ;D
(view all replies)I just realized you weren't on there, so I decided to fix that. :P
(view all replies)I looked at your comment on my scratch suggestion and it was quite hard to argue with but with this suggestion, banning will take place automatically when they go below 1 life and it will be a fair punishment, all that the scratch team can do is take lives off. they can't literally ban them.
I still think the current way is good enough.
That's bad though... what if someone does something really bad? Do they have to wait until they keep getting flagged, and the ST removes one life at a time? Or would it be better if they just got banned outright. However, they are implementing something similar for the forums; when a post gets reported 5 times, the user gets automatically banned for 12 hours, or until the ST unbans them sooner.
(view all replies)Hey! What did you use to make the modification to allow messages to show up on the forums?
A special kind of JavaScript code called a userscript.
Hey, I got a question about the wiki. Is it posable for me to become a contributor, the link is broken to request to be one. Thanks
Not at the moment, sorry. We're not allowed to do it without the official form. :/
URGENT! I need the music 4 the collab in order to make the draft! Please post it on your test account or something. Thanks.
Emailed it to you.
(view all replies)did you know that octal 31 (october 31- halloween) equals decimal 25 (december 31- Christmas)??? just thought that was funny
Interesting. Though I don't celebrate either of those.
Hey, Sci! If you have a minute, I'm getting feedback for my SDS purpose idea template project, and I'd love your ideas: (link to project)
You don't happen to be the guy i'm chatting to now do you?
Yep, it's me. :) (See the difference in typing? XD)
(view all replies)Hey sci. I have a question, and you're probably the most likely to know the answer out anyone on here... does JavaScript work in forum posts? I Googled it, but couldn't find any results :/
(view all replies)BTW, I don't think they can really do that with JS. :P
xD Smartys (the owner of PunBB-Hosting) has said that it's un-hack-able :P
Actually, PunBB-Hosting uses FluxBB. Confusing, I know :/
(view all replies)Actually, Scratch uses FluxBB, so I'm not positive about PunBB... try posting [url=javascript:alert('JavaScript works');]Does JavaScript work?[/url] and click it. If you see a popup that says "JavaScript works", it does.
(view all replies)Admin enabled, go to the ScratchBB Playground
I saw already; thanks. :P
Base one is pretty easy to read.
359. :D (I used the converter, estimating until I narrowed it down. ;))
(view all replies)XD Except when it gets too long and you lose count. :P
(view all replies)Nice! Limit of base 36 because 10 digits + 26 characters = 36?
Thanks! Yep. :)
(view all replies)Sweet, this is very useful :)
Thanks, ikr.
(view all replies)And 2 in binary is 10! Not 11!
Jk.
I don't understand.
Did you read the Project Notes? If you still don't understand about bases from MY confusing explanation, try Wikipedia's super confusing explanation! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radix
Now I know why we use base ten :P
Actually, it would be quite different if we had been using a different base, say duodecimal, for thousands of years. Base ten is engrained in out minds. That's why other bases seem complicated.
(view all replies)Awesome!
:) You too.
(view all replies)Thanks! :D
(view all replies)Nice to see you succeeded at doing what I failed at! :)
Ah. I got the algorithm from Google, lol. BTW, thanks for reminding me about octal; I'll add that to the list of common bases.
Thanks! You failed at making one of these? How far did you get?
