Please tell me what you think and how you think it could be improved!

Summary:
1: One singular sprite for one singular purpose
2: REMOVE THE STRAY BLOCKS

Organization is one of the most important things in scratch because if your project is cluttered and impossible to read you can't get any help and it will make your project seem less manageable.

Two of the most important things when it comes to organization is 1: Compactness. You need to make your project compact since that will make it cleaner to read. The most common mistake when it comes to compactness is making multiple different sprites that all are about or have something to do with each other. You should always only use one singular sprite for one singular purpose. (Player_Hitbox) and (Player) should be in the same sprite!!! Just use clones and some simple code management to separate the two and your code is much better. 2: Removing stray blocks. What I mean by that is for example when you finish some code and there is a lot of random stuff which doesn't do anything around the code you should remove it since it makes your project less laggy and easier to navigate!

moneeman: is there any particular reason? just wondering. it doesnt bother me
Malicondi: why?
Cotton_Scratch: GAH that's gonna be annoying…

Probably to get money

and to get you to pay for their large services. Unfortunately for us, we have over roughly 18 staff, so we're going to have to look into some other service that'll do this for us. I think Mural might be the way to go…
And yes, very annoying. Years ago, Trello cut the board limit per workspace… Sheesh.

i'm slightly confused, does that mean we can't add ourselves to boards after that?

Malicondi

also if you guys want to use it or consider using it, currently i'm creating an autosave system using cloud variables.

I recommend reading jvvg's essay about the scratch team before complaining, as it may change your opinion and provide insight on the topic.

coming soon :)

Yeah, it basically is a cap of all members/collaborators to 10 per workspace. And you guys can't request access either. A serious pain in the rear, but it's okay. Gimme a couple days and I'll try to get a Mural team up and running.

My good people - Mural works, and it allows up to 50 members per workspace. Only 3 Murals, though, but that's okay - I doubt we're gonna need any more than that. The interface is a little confusing at first, but don't worry - we probably aren't gonna use half the features you see.

-welp-

That's the invite link. I'm sorry for the inconvenience Trello has caused us, but do sign up for Mural(also free; we're the penny-less dev team haha) and get access. If you run into any issues, let me know. I'll also link the invite in… the usual places. Not the front page for this thread, though.

When you gain access to the workspace/team, go to the Mural called “Test”. Feel free to do whatever you want in there - it's only a test and for us to get our bearings there.

Well, nvm. Turns out my school laptop does not allow mural (it only allowed the front page XD). Are there any other options?

Consider using a VPN. Opera GX or (pretty overkill) TOR

That… probably won't work either. Once I enter highschool, I'll probably be able to do stuff again (cause the laptops at my highschool are probably unblocked)

Hi there! My name is Cosmic; a passionate Scratch creator. I specialize in all art. When I'm not working on Scratch, I go to church, read, or spend time with my family and friends. I also have a longing passion for music!

“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord” Romans 8:38-39

Visit the shops I work at!:

Ahh, right. Okay - I think we can cross-use Mural and Scratch. I…can create a project for the tasks… Dear God, help me.

Please tell me what you think and how you think it could be improved!

looks really awesome! I just have 2 suggestions -
1 - Switch variables to local / classify them with a -# intro
2 - Make the “Soundwave Productions” text size in (ease 0 - 100 or so) with the bars moving towards the screen

Edit:
I am currently making a ui for Project S. Would you guys prefer a more performant project or a more visually cool one? I may make a setting in the future to swap between these, but for now, what do you guys think?

i think making a visually cool one first would be better, because then we already have all the vfx and can remove and change them much easier to make a performance option.
