Can somebody do Gaming and possibly Programming for me? I will get Lesson 2 for Programming out soon, but if somebody else can that would be great! And, I'll have Standard Custom Blocks out as well soon.

I am a mediocre with programming but if you do need help and MTBH cannot do it then I could lend a hand.

Since all the tutors run their own courses independently, it is probably best to ask your tutor questions directly on their profile. Your art tutor is Mewly so try asking them.

Hey, could I take a couple of courses? If possible, I would love to take the Standard Management, Standard Costumer, Standard Collaborator, and the Standard Writing courses. I am very interested in many things, as you can see…

Yup, I did mine ages ago x

Introduction~
This course is all about Custom Blocks, from how to make them, loop them, define them and more. You will be put to the test in many instances, as you will receive many assignments involving making certain Custom Blocks. This course is mainly taught by CrazyGoldfish3.

First Sources/Syllabus~
Define Custom Blocks
Custom Blocks in general
The Procedures of Custom Blocks

Those are standard wiki introductions. So, basically what you've learned so far is that a Custom Block is a block that is used for special things that normal blocks can't do in just one block, like making Cloud Engines/Lists, Loops of any sort, Platformers, and much, much more. You've learned a basic introduction on how you will define them, and how they can fit into a procedure. The main point that I will try to get across to you is that efficiency is what makes a Custom Block, useful, so, be efficient! So, let's get on to our first lesson!

Standard Programming with Custom Blocks
Syllabus
-Learn to shorten scripts (To large measures)
-Learn how to understand Custom Blocks
-Learn how to complete a assignment with the most efficient techniques there are
Criteria
-Efficiently complete an assignment
-Be able to loop Scripts
-Understand the overall concept of Custom Blocks

This course is all about Custom Blocks, from looping them, decoding them, and making them as efficient as possible. You will have to explain your methods as well as others. This course is mainly taught by CrazyGoldfish3.

Lesson 1~
This lesson will begin to go a bit further on basics of the Custom Block. Here's the scenario~

Your Collaboration Leader asks that you make a simple loop block, that fades a Sprite out, switches it's costume, then fades it in. Here's the actual quote~

CollaborationLeader wrote:

Hey, can I get someone to make a Custom Block that fades a sprite out, switches the sprite costume, then fades it back in? Make it very customizable, as we will use this block a lot!

. Here's how to carefully examine his statement, because you need to make the block exactly as he wants it(!)~

Take note of his comment, “Make it very customizable”, as this means that you will need a lot of inputs! In case your not aware, an input can be selected by pressing the Options tab when you are creating your block. Now, think about the block. You'll need~

-To make an effect to make it fade away and back, so Ghost.

-To make a “Repeat ()” block, and have an input determine that number.

-I say that because if we put an input at the scale the Ghost effect is changed, it can also determine the times that the loop will be repeated.

-There is also much more!

So, as you can see, a hard-working Custom Block Programmer has a lot running through his/her mind when he/she sees a command like this! Here's what the block might end up looking like~

define Fade sprite in, changing Ghost by (Number) every time, with (Time) seconds in between changes, then switch costume to (Costume#), and fade back in
set [Numberv] to (Number)
repeat ((100) / (Numberv))
change [Ghost] effect by (Numberv)
wait (Time) secs
end
switch costume to (Costume#)
repeat ((100) / (Numberv))
change [Ghost] effect by ((Numberv) - ((Numberv) - (Numberv)))
wait (Time) secs
end

As you can see, most Custom Blocks will actually be very lengthy! So, you've got the point? Here is your first assignment, due in a week~

Hey, could we get some Menu Music? Just make a Custom Block that plays a song, waits a given time, then plays another song. We have some Musicians working on some Music pieces, so we should have up to 15 pieces, maybe more!

Please create that block. Ask any questions, in fact I'd be glad if you did, and just make sure to get it done by next week! Analyze, Create, and have Success!

Good luck.

By the way, as the Training goes on, I will use that Lesson as a reference to explain the ideas I'm trying to get out.
