@Script Helpers
I have contacted all script helpers about this idea and I will make a mock up of the first post in the thread soon with a logo! Plus, please arrange a time when I can give you script helpers (hockeyist, makethebrainhappy, boooey1) the password for the collab account so you may edit it (once arranged post on my profile at that time and I will give it too you. )
+

Maybe we could set up a separate section for tutorials? Support! (Not really interested in a script helper - I don't know too much about some commonly-requested things like scrolling, etc. I don't use them at all.)

Definitely up to it!

Lets set up a time

well I will be helping so what time?

Game Review:
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/48200660/
(Donut Decorator by CrystalBlazexx)
Graphics: (8.0/10.0) The donut looked really realistic, as well as the frosting and the sprinkles, but the machine looked just like a crayon with a really pointy end.(Too me)
Clean Code: (10.0/10.0) The “Donut Decorator” was free of bugs. There were no things that stopped my playing of the game.
Game play: (10.0/10.0) Wow! This was a fun activity to do.
Purpose: (6.0/10.0) I wouldn't say that this had a big purpose, but it was just a fun game.
Overall: (36.0/40.0)
What was good: The realistic donut, frosting, and sprinkles, as well as having no bugs in the game.
What could be improved: There could be more ingredients and toppings.

About
The ‘Script Helper’ position began as a position for one person (originally HarryB178) at Pro Invent Inc who would create a tutorial for each newsletter edition. Now, Pro Invent Inc has several script helpers so decided to set up a thread where scratcher's may ask about programming tips and about bugs in their program.

The Script Helper Team
-TheHockeyist (speciality: mathematical formulae, astronomical calculations)
-makethebrainhappy (speciality: General programming)
-boooey1 (speciality: xxx)
-powercon5 (speciality: cloud variables, data handling, saving)

@All Script Helpers
You will need to be an autonomous team from Pro Invent (like the old Game Reviewer team) which means you need to manage yourself and arrange who will claim what and who will make each tutorial each month. Update the front post regularly. You must also post your speciality, whcih could include (but are not limited to) common problems, bug fixing, new scratchers' problems, cloud variables, regular variables, data handling, 3D, general programming etc. Don't worry, you can double up and can have two or more people specialising in oone area. And remember, delegate the tasks evenly and fairly. The Script Helpers forum thread will go live tonight!

@sunnypiano
Thanks for the review!

TheHockeyist

My specialty is mathematical formulae and astronomical calculations. But mostly mathematical formulae. I'm also good with science, so I can help there too, but my main specialty is math, with a second being astronomical calculations.

(I could team up with @Sojourner555 to help me in a few astronomical cases where I'm not the best… we're good friends on Scratch. In fact, he commented on one of my own planetary calculator projects and that was how we met and got to know each other. I've helped him out a lot at the beginning, and from there, he basically took over with the astronomy stuff - surpassing my skills greatly.)

powercon5

well my specialty is data handling and cloud variables and using them to make games that can save

It is just a mock up example, the queue does not exist.

It will go live on the Help with Scripts section tonight.
