Does anyone know the special stages from Sonic 3? Yeah, some think it isn't possible to recreate it in Scratch. And to prove them wrong I want to bring together a team. I'm looking for these skills. But if you can contribute in some other way, that'd be nice!
- Sphere, as in the land Sonic will walk on. On the Genesis it uses a fascinating technique, but I haven't found a way to recreate it in Scratch.
- Object mappings, how the red, blue, bumper and spring spheres will keep their place in the world.
- Speed, the longer the player stays in the world the faster both the music and player goes.
- Map designer, you'll have to work with the Object Mapper, say if the map is designed through sprites, then you get to draw out the levels, but if it's made using a list, then you'll probably need o take time and speak with the Object Mapper on how to edit the list.
Now, you might ask as to what I'm contributing to, well I'm porting the sprites, making the animations, coding the turning and how the world itself moves, and I've made a counter. Also note, this isn't a lazy counter that uses the default “show variable” I've made the counter identical to Sonic 3, using the original graphics and all! So, if you would like to be part of Project Spheres, let me know and tell me what you're capable of, so I can assign you to a position.

Thanks!

I would like to help. We might have to use a sound file that has been edited in another program and imported. For the speed, we could just reduce the wait between frames and render cycles.

I believe Scratch has a tempo function, so I think that can be used to our advantage. And the render cycles sounds fascinating, but then you have to ask “When is it too fast?” because there will be a point where the method of rendering could just stop. Say if it were a pen, then it could become a huge mess on screen, and the mappings might get corrupted.

That could easily be solved by adding a speed cap. Btw, do you have a prototype of this project?

Yes I do have a prototype. But only has the counters and animations.

Could you link? i need to go.

Mess around with the “Blue Spheres Remaining” and “Rings Collected” variables to see the counters in action.

I made sonic do his running animation, although it looks a bit odd. Here is the remix project. https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/197754250/

Alright then.

I have added the sphere. Project credit has been added

Because there is a lot of wait commands, we might want to make this turbo mode

Turbo mode? I've never heard of it.

Shift click the green flag and it goes faster

Oh. Also, the thing about the sphere is that it's buggy when turning and doesn't keep track of anything. Our sphere keeps track for the items and stuff, but your attempt is appreciated.

This sounds interesting… Could Sonic Saturn adopt this project as one of it's subsidiaries? We'll be happy to advertise this and help out, so you could potentially become famous.

Potential fame sounds interesting. Yeah, I'd love to let you guys use it.

If you have a sphere, where is it?

I'll put it into the project right now.

Could you put in the title that it's an “Official Sonic Saturn Subsidiary”?

Like this- “Project: Spheres | An Official Sonic Saturn Subsidiary”?

I see an asset box but i cannot find the sphere. Have you put it in yet?
