…Huh. Okay.

This is where the details of the project and how it will work is created. This often includes making prototypes and concepts.

Standard Management Course - Questionnaire Scenario #2
You are the leader of a collaboration which has recently fallen inactive. You have rebooted but abandoned your last project because of little progress and it is all a mess. You have organised everything but you think your team are lacking motivation. Your task is to write a survey for your members to motivate them with at least six questions. You might want to:
-Show that you value your member's opinions
-Show that you value your member's ideas during decision process making (hint hint).
-Resolve the current inactivity crisis (re-organisation?)

Be creative!
Any questions, just ask!

Deadline: 1/03/2016

Whoa what why huh ugh I was busy…

Anyway.

Recently, our wonderful collaboration has fallen inactive. As a result, I am going to set our previous project off on a ‘to do later’ list. I need everyone's opinions on how to revive the collab properly… so I have formulated a survey of six short answer questions. If you do not finish this survey or reply saying you are unable to do so within two weeks, you will be cut.

1. Why do you think our collab fell inactive?
   
2. What measures should we take to avoid this happening again?
   
3. Should we cull the horde and cut some members?
   
4. Were there any issues in the old collab that you would like amended?
   
5. Should we partner with shops and other collaborations?
   
6. Lastly, what should our new project be?

Hmm… okay. (Now to argue about the definition of prototype – just kidding, let's not.)

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. So, let's begin with our first lesson!

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~

AnotherCollaborationLeader wrote:

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!

^ Great! One question: Why is it “Numberv” instead of just “Number”?

CrazyGoldfish3 wrote:

Just a forum-blocks rookie glitch.

By the way, don't worry too much about that Script…

MegaByteCorporations wrote:

I thought as much.

I know, I'm working on the assignment right now!

By the way, apparently I made Lesson 2 of Custom Blocks awhile ago, so I'll release that in a few weeks.

You ask for a class, and the Tutor of that class will either accept or deny you.

I'll correct you:

The tutor will either accept or accept you.

You cannot be denied for joining a course.
