Hello Scratchers

I am am high school teacher.
My Geography students will make Scratch animations for several weather phenomenons.

Is there a way I can combine all these project to one single in the end? I would like to lay some sort of a “weather menu” on top of all the weather phenomenons so a visitor can chose between the phenomenons.

Thanks for help and ideas!

This might be a little complicated process.
First, you will need to change the thing that triggers the start of every single project into something else that can be triggered later in the project (for example from the “click green flag to start” to "when broadcast "). Now, once you did that, then create the main menu. If you click a button on the main menu, broadcast the corresponding project, and there you have it.

The way I explained is just an outline. There will most definitely be glitches along the way (stuff not disappearing, stuff from one project that appears in another) and that will take some time to iron out. If there are more than just a few students in your class, then it will most definitely take a long time.

But i you try to do it, then good luck.

Hope this helped,

Thanks for your answer, bob6

Do I understand you right that you suggest that the final step is to copy and paste all the sprites, stages and all the program elements from all student project into one final big project? I fear this to be very tricky!

How about making a “menu project” in the end in which the weather phenomenons can be chosen? And then link to the other projects? Do I fear right that this cannot be done?

If you want your students to all view it in one place as an alternative why don't you open a studio for these projects and put them in so that the students can look at their classmates work at home if they feel like it

This feature precisely was here but it is gone, it was this link:
http://clutter.scratch.mit.edu/
Ask the Scratch team why they removed it?

I think the best workaround is by @Bob6
create a Studio with a good description.

Another workaround: search for Scratch magazines and newspaper projects,
these link to projects in the notes.

you could use the backpack to move sprites, but as bob6 said you will have glitches.

You could give your students alot of guidelines for their programs:

• Start with a broadcast, specifically one that corresponds to the phenomenon name
  

• Hide upon green flag
  

• Use local variables
  

• Sprite name unique to phenomenon
  

and when you import the sprites and add a main menu it should all work.

The easy way is to embed all the projects on a webpage so they're all in one place.
Maybe you could use a studio?

I am making an iPhone project which involves other's games. I tried downloading a project onto my computer for an app but when I tried to upload the project in the iPhone one, all the other scripts got deleted. Can you help?

I am making 4 different types of games on one scratch project. It has been working great so far until I cam across this one problem.

My game is basically just leaves falling down to the floor and you are trying to move to catch the leaves. There is a time limit of 30 seconds for each level. Every second the timer has to go down by 1 second, because you know. The only problem is I put it in a forever loop so it will keep going down until it reaches 0. I put this in a specific broadcast as well, but it seems to be going down in whichever broadcast area I am in. Is there any other way to make the time go down continuously without using the forever loop?

I also have another query. For my games I want the leaves to keep falling until I broadcast level 2. However I put it in a forever loop once again and it is showing up in places I don't want. Once again I was wondering if there was any other way of doing this.

Thank you for the help and I am sorry I must sound like a total newbie to scratch. That is because I am, anyways please help, thank you!

I will explain what the script does here the script (the scrip is below) (So basically timer is the variable that goes down -1 every second so when you want to do the game with timer on broadcast that message so it will do that script but remember at the top of the script set the timer to whatever it needs to be! Also you don't need to set the other variable you made (called variable on my script) to 1000 just set it to any number you want and when you want the timer to stop set the variable (the one in my script called variable) to the number you chose in the repeat until block!

Hope this helps!

to do this make a variable and do a scrip that looks like this

when I receive [ v]
set [ timer] to [ 10]
repeat until <(variable) = [ 1000]>
change [ timer] by (-1)


   

lol thats easy all you need to do is put all the projects into your backpack then convert it to another project then you tell all the sprites to hide when flag clicked then you make some other sprites for example: a box saying pong then in them boxes you put down when flag clicked show when this sprite clicked hide and broadcast pong then you go to the sprites that made pong then replace the flag clicks with when I receive pong then you put when flag clicked hide in all of the sprites that make the game pong then you also put when I recieve message pong show

The thread is two years old everyone; I don't think they need an answer. Please check the date before responding to a thread.

If OP is somehow still around and watching this, can report it and ask for it to be opened.
