@sirbots I figured out the targeting system (albeit everything does need to be smaller), if you check my sneak peak topic

@tng alright.

Added a mini boss: Summoner

(type /summon summoner to spawn it)

https://play.creaticode.com/projects/6730fb66bf68856fe9840816

Please tell me any bugs you find. The launcher might be a bit bugged with summoner, I don’t know how to fix it

@black-cat Yes, but you can’t do literal programming. It is just learning

@dreamsmp_luck i changed my profile. my name is now Sonic Plush Show

@g2292321-cfd66cfa only buttion I can think of is import/export

@jeffreyrb03-gmail
yeah… i forgot about the project part, haha…

Thanks for the feedback everyone! Looks like this feature is a bit too complicated. We’ll keep the strict requirements for now until we find a better solution.

and here is other link to something i coded
https://studio.code.org/projects/spritelab/mSzdptLnn9mPxnHi7B5vnCBYg0ecxTGT-ucHLvQAh4g/edit

@info-creaticode Thank you, I should do that.

@lilly_is_cool well, I’m pretty sure there is a feature to put your image, so…

@jeffreyrb03-gmail Ik how http requests work, I hosted two discord bots on my laptop (and I only used chatgpt to learn new stuff, like dot notation and what some api stuff was because I was not gonna dig through the api docs), it seems to load it all via script tags, like I can’t find “About Me” or any content in it via view-source in the body doc, and I’ve found the script file (https://play.creaticode.com/scratch-playground.0f9a92301b4653bde090.js) used with like everything it seems

@the_true_odst in the files app for your chromebook make a new folder, then make three text folders, make sure you have show file extensions on, and rename one to index.html, another to style.css, and another to script.js, I would recommend for this initial setup and for learning the basics of js very quickly, ask an ai about it, Im not saying you should have an ai make it all, but ask it for stuff like what a draw loop is or when to use multiple js files, I think an ai could better explain what Im trying to say in context of a chromebook

@mod-squadacademy-1bc96c56 creaticode already removes the clone limit, the crash was cus you should not make clones run forever loops without screen refresh especially if you’re going to do a metric ton of calculations every loop to determine what costume that clone should have and what offset it should be at, it’s a good example of how you can remove fencing effectively and the uses of it (I can give link to show it, I Think I had even cleaned up and split code among multiple sprites, I have a bad habit of putting all my code in single sprites unless it’s that much of an inconvenience to do so)

@dreamsmp_luck export the button sprites that you added go to file or edit for my remastered version, and click save to computer. Then export it to yours

@011830-0a42ef84 yeah so the issue is likely that multiple broadcasts are being sent per frame, which causes only some broadcasts to work,there is no way around this as far as I know, actually a really scuffed/creative way could be you have each thing add to a list the instructions, and then each clone looks for their clone id in the list and follows that instruction (actually I might do that in my cell game to prevent a bug I’ve found with my black holes)

@mod-squadacademy-1bc96c56 Ok! I appreciate the offer and I’m gonna start making turbowarp mods again.

@011830-0a42ef84

Can you please reload the page, and make sure you are logged in, and then try XO again? We have made some improvement to XO, but we are not sure if they would resolve your specific issue. Thanks

@c I doubt it, it’s a personal computer controlled by my parents by they ARE trying to help me progress my coding career

@info-creaticode the one time I wanted to do it was when I had a lot of clones that were moving around (basically battling) and I wanted to see some stats, but the say/think bubbles were a bit big and blocked other ones, I tried the timed ones but ended up begrudgingly not displaying it since I didn’t think about using a second forever loop, it could be fine not existing since it’s a minor thing but I thought I would mention it

@sisi987-amanda
You haven’t done the requirements for BFH.

that could work in presentationMy photo - Date (20).jpg 

Major feature added for UI:

Music and SFX volume sliders are now added, you may customize the volume for sound effects and music 😄

@cattyplayzy I honestly think databases (with the source code hidden of course) would be 1000x easier and more convienient to do.

@cattyplayzy said in How would one implement a swear word/inappropriate message filter in their project?:

How would they get a source code?

also with this, honestly some people need to write their own code. It’s good to take code from others, but when the source code is hidden for something, then you just have to accept that and try to recreate it using what you already know. Unless of course you like reverse engineer something to hack it

@catty yeah prolly lol

@mod-squadacademy-1bc96c56 well you can somewhat do it, it lets them move off the veiwport (which is effectively the screen) even though it’s technically not no fencing it still just lets sprite move out of view of your camera, the only issue is you can move the veiwport and then the sprites that were offscreen can be seen at the edges fo the canvas, but if you don’t move the viewport and use variables for x y (so the canvas border doesn’t affect stuff) you can do that.

I do have a better project for an example of no fencing, instead of just using it to do a grid I use it to let zombie ai’s with a physics body move offscreen (it moves everything when the player moves) and there is no way to tell that they do technically hit hte canvas border’

edit: I think the project I sent was just a bad example cus I used canvas size only so zooming in a lot wouldn’t show you the edges of other blocks when you’re moving a bunch, the canvas size isn’t the size of your screen, it’s how big hte fencing is, canvas size is the fencing size and viewport is the screen size

@thebrickmaster626-f522560b

Please check out the new joystick blocks we have just added:

https://www.forum.creaticode.com/topic/1651/virtual-joysticks-for-user-input

@jeffreyrb03-gmail okay so my current plan is to have it write to the sheet in a specific cell and use an extension in sheets to either copy the raw data (one cell for it all, using join with and some stuff to prevent the data from escaping, if you want to know what I mean then ask) to one cell, and have the user just read all the data and format it on the client, or I can have the user post data to a random place in a receiving sheet and the extension copy’s all the data that the client posted into the sheet

Not a bad idea, not gonna lie. However I feel like it going to Extentions is a bad idea. Maybe we could make a separate category called Community Code so that official Extentions don’t get mixed up.

@info-creaticode well now that i fixed the problem, it would be cool if this could be added to list of stuff you’ll consider adding or add. Thank you for answering my questions!

@info-creaticode Does this mean it is not recommended to use other sites for AI generated images?
If so, what if the match you wanted doesn’t show up on the CreatiCode AI gen site?

@jeffreyrb03-gmail

Thank you for the information. We are working on improving the comment loading process so it is refreshed automatically.

@011830-0a42ef84 oh nvm then i forgot

@info-creaticode ohhhhhhh that makes sense, Ig I’ll finally set a pfp

This New Ocean 2.0 - Major Content Update

Release date: TBA

What’s New

AI

Finished V1 of the AI The AI can now damage players. The AI will not be visible unless they are within a certain distance of the player. Begun work of adding statistics to different ships Increased the number of bots on the map. Widen the area at which bots spawn by 250% and further increased the distance of which they spawn from each other.

Player

Begun work of adding different statistics to different ships Begun live testing of guided missiles

Buildings

Begun work for settlements to attack enemy ships Added a new building: Port Provides the highest resource rate of any building up to this version, and is the first major resource production building to have defenses.
Statistics Population Growth Rate: 15 Resource Rate: 250 Defense: 3/10

Planets

Added 6 new planet Designs Added 6 new planet surfaces

Sounds

Added voice-lines. Added 6 new soundtracks for fighting enemies

Bug Fixes
There are no bug fixes.

This update is to focus on adding content and testing content.

The AI has played a key part in the game’s development. This version would complete the first working alliteration of the AI.

Since there are different variations of ships the player can use, these ships should have different statistics that should stand out from others. Thus, the Battlecuriser and the Battleship will have their own statistics.

To provide an alternative to machine gun fights, guided missiles will added. During all of 2.0’s live updates, each will mark a new testing stage for these missiles. Expect the game to break or mess up during these live updates.

Introducing the first new building to the game: The Port. For those who want to make a large investment for their settlement, this would be for you! Provides a whopping 250 resources per 5 seconds. It’s also the first major resource building with a form of defense against enemies.

Along with some new planet designs and enemies, this will be one of the few massive updates the game will get.

The next update will be the first live test update of building defenses and guided missiles.

@the_true_odst It is somewhat top down. I suppose you could just alter the general placement to fit your game.

@the_true_odst you use the intended and actual as a back bone, for the gravity you just set the intended x and intended y values at the changing, your gravity was mainly change y by 2 every frame and then change y by negative 2 to go down (from what I remember), you can set the intended y speed to 2 every frame (you dont need to every frame but it would work) and then the same with negative, you wouldn’t use 2 because multiplayer blocks make sprites move slower than if you moved them yourself so you have to retest it

basically, you replace all change y by blocks in your gravity with set intended y speed to a value and test for what they should be

@011830-0a42ef84

This is a fun game.

So let’s solve one problem at a time. To limit the rotation speed, you can try to use a loop to repeatedly rotate the sprite a little bit towards the target’s direction.

Here is a demo project:

play.creaticode.com/projects/67351d4fef35162a42f8bc50

As you can see, in a forever loop, we take 3 steps:

calculate angle difference between current direction and the desired direction normalize that difference to within -180 and 180 rotate for up to the speed limit

This is what you will get as you move the mouse:

speedlimit.gif

@info-creaticode Yes, for example, in one of my old games that I had one scratch, there were so many assets that it was hard to manage, it would be easier in my opinion if you could group them into a folder (by clicking on the side panel to add an AI / paint / random asset, you could also add a folder, or if you could right click an asset and make it into a folder like scratch addons does. 😄

@sirbots The best I can do rn is to just have them shoot at random bots anywhere on the map based on the coordinates on both teams, sadly. It’s still better than randomly firing at stuff

@the_true_odst In This New Ocean, yes. The AI won’t however. It’s already out, just check the Update Log for the game to get the link.

@jamesa-blackwell-57b383d3 what is going on? i’m not a dev but I’ll tag em for you! @TNG @info-creaticode
there ya go

@info-creaticode said in There should be both types of resize:

@011830-0a42ef84

Can you try to describe it? Are you trying to make it an oval? making it larger? Maybe a screenshot?

^
Or record it and go to ezgif.com to make it a gif. 🙂 (make sure it’s short btw)

@king-cole
i mean… same…

@106809nes ok, thanks

@011830-0a42ef84
Sure!
Watcha want?

Huh… ok, something besides a watermark? a free bunch of start-up projects?

@the_true_odst what?

@tyller_
my access to readjusted and readable pages has expired 😞
0e3b336a-bb1d-40bd-a8cf-6f53b39dd1ac-image.png

@sirbots

Problem confirmed. It seems this is because this project is getting too big. It is over 145M when exported. You might need to consider using smaller clips or fewer sounds.

@tyller_ I used the wrong operators, and I didn’t have the proper distance variable in the movement scripts.

@sonicplushiesc4

The key is to press the camera button when the stage is showing exactly what you want as the thumbnail.

@dreamsmp_luck i dont even know but yeah this my family life is what it was until 4 weeks later i am here in creaticode. and no, it’s nto a he, it’s us because i have a family

@tyller_

We can confirm the textbox will not handle the \n separated string on iPads as new lines at the moment. It is added to our list for future fixes. Thanks for reporting this issue.

@106809nes oh ok right

@jeffreyrb03-gmail

If the URL contains any of the 3 keywords like “device”, it will take priority over the actual device info.

We’ll check why it mapped ChromeOS to other.

@lillian159174-255f4598 meh its ok im making a game in creaticode sorry

@amanda-12368f30
Good job, but this isn’t related to the topic.

@info-creaticode oh ok thank you, yeah, when you sign up and in other places too the link is outdated

@011830-0a42ef84
CC said that there are enough mods. And if we’re overwhelmed, they’ll add another one.

@cattyplayzy wdym your,
@info-creaticode said in Some feedback.:

@tyller_

For the coding platform, we will allow users to change their username.

But it seems @jeffreyrb03-gmail is talking about this forum.

mentioning the coding platform, currently all you can change in the coding platform is what the full name block outputs, which would be your display name, since they said they will allow, not already exists, they would let you change the output of the username block, and as long as they add another way to specifically ID a user that doesn’t change then it would be fine, but that way doesn’t exist right now

skBIDi sigama

@info-creaticode thx

@tyller_ TYSM

@the_true_odst We may do that. By the way, if you want a PFP, there’s a Scratcher named TechVantage who for a limited time is offering high-quality Canva made PFP’s and banners.

@tyller_ That’s actually a pretty good idea, it fits more with the nature of Scratch and CreatiCode rather than my idea

@sonicplushshow Just check a project. I’m busy rn.

@the_true_odst I wish to be a best forum helper but thx ig

@amanda-12368f30 said in Can someone please help me:

@black-cat He is helping me but no one is not answering this question: how do you make a advance platformer?

Can you give some more details? Any example game? Is it 2D or 3D? Also, did you try to ask the CreatiCode XO assistant?

https://www.forum.creaticode.com/topic/1103/creaticode-xo-ai-assistant-new-project-design

Also, here is an example that uses 2D physics engine:

https://www.forum.creaticode.com/topic/1037/2d-physics-geometry-bounce-game-difficulty-4

And you can also follow this more complicated tutorial by griffpatch:

@amanda-12368f30 It’s ok

We will post an example project next week for a simple chat room.

@tyller_ an example if you wish to use the say block is
https://play.creaticode.com/projects/66f183d22756e7dc16b78d60

@tyller_ It doesnt use GPU acceleration like TensorFlow so it kinda sucks on that part as you have to make up methods to make it go faster and all that are kinda annoying.

For training data, it’s just a lot of sentences and all on random topics from wikipedia

@info-creaticode sounds good

@sonicplushshow you’re on do not disturb but bye ig

@dreamsmp_luck no

@011830-0a42ef84 ???

@info-creaticode Thank you!

@jeffreyrb03-gmail Yeah! In gimkit I made myself look like a sentrey with it

@info-creaticode Ahhh yes, thats pretty good

@jeffreyrb03-gmail

We will put that on our list. Thank you.

@sonicplushiesc4 it’s remixed. oh, i have a ko-fi so i am gonna post updates for my creaticode games. you could do the same too

@the_true_odst thanks. ill try this and see if this works

@catty your welcome! I’m aways able to help!

:Me secretively controlling a government controlled agency:

@info-creaticode Thanks for the clarification 😄

@c In Gandi IDE, last time I checked (And this may now be out of date), only one user can edit a sprite at a time.

@jeffreyrb03-gmail Alright, the update’s out. Feel free to tinker with it as much as you want! The update log post has been edited with the new patch notes if you want to see what’s new.

@011830-0a42ef84 using databases is a tiny bit tricky, but they are basically just tables with strict/enforced columns with types (like number, string, or date) and allow you to store rows in them. It is pretty transaction based kinda like actual databases. For a leaderboard you just need to create a database for a leaderboard, and to get data from it, just display say around 100 rows where a stat like coins is greatest, if you were to show some leaderboard of users with the most coins.

I’ll let you tinker around with that first and if you still need help then I would like to see your code and I’ll give working code. I do have a project that demonstrates how to use a database, you’ll have to look in the code though, and what it does it just check if a password you enter is the correct password by asking the database for the password and then checking if the inputted password is equal to the password from the database:

the project is in unlisted shared so u can see it
https://play.creaticode.com/projects/66f85f2ce228c74a133e1128


Hopefully my project doesn’t confuse you more, but all you have to do is just change it up and delete the stuff leftover from my challenge thingie. Instead of using the database to store one singular piece of text, you can use it to store multiple rows like a table and in the end, you could use that database to make a leaderboard of your own and shows what you want.

The columns it should be storing are (user id), found in Sensing, and then any variables.

@jd131111

Indeed, that’s a good feature to add. Thank you

@dreamsmp_luck reply to me when you have a topic.

@011830-0a42ef84

That should be fine. thanks for checking

@106809nes sorry you’re right

@011830-0a42ef84

Now you should see one remix from us.

@hynes-averyy-8b125bb5 It is quite annoying when they forget stuff during a lot conversation lol, that is true. Ill check out narrati and tell you what I think. Ive been experimenting with AI lately for different stuff (except its “art”) and I might make a project for this now not sure 🤔. Thank you for the response!

@tyller_

Thanks for the feedback.

We can confirm there is a small delay in typing on iPad. We will investigate why that is happening.

@jeffreyrb03-gmail
Yeah, but why not just use ChatGPT blocks for that reason?

@julia-4087a191 you could try working off one of these: https://www.forum.creaticode.com/topic/487/2d-sdg-3-care-bots-for-older-persons-difficulty-1

It also works as a challenge:

Though, once it think it “wins,” it keeps trying to play the game, which I think was dumb.

@info-creaticode
That’s great to hear! Thank you.

@s9205307-810c679a

The example project above has been updated to create 2 clones of each box, and set up the fixed relative position constraint between them.

@info-creaticode I don’t know if that will like stop the user from pressing the green flag and resetting their progress in say, a drawing app. The green flag usually resets things, which is it’s purpose, like resetting widgets and whatnot. However, some method to like give a prompt that says “You have unsaved work in this project, are you sure you want to reset it?” would be good, but i don’t think a hat block would logically make sense for this thing.

@011830-0a42ef84

Please check out this new block:

https://www.forum.creaticode.com/topic/1653/shake-screen

@011830-0a42ef84

You can try to unhide the basic sprite and trigger this stack of blocks manually, and you should see the animations. If you are not seeing the same animation in games, then it must be due to other reasons.

You might want to read about how to debug here and try these techniques:

https://www.forum.creaticode.com/topic/1568/how-to-debug

@jeffreyrb03-gmail thank you guys for adding that in I just saw it gives the full code now

@jeffreyrb03-gmail thanks

@jd131111

Yes. thanks.

@sirbots I can try, and updating to a table I believe does slightly lag, I have a project that I recreated here that uses this method, I have recreated it in 3 different places as a sort of benchmark (code.org, here, nad codeacademy) and I’m pretty sure I got decent fps at like 30 clones on creaticode, I’m fairly certain that 10-15 was no problem, though I can try to find the project (the project does have similar logic to this, checks distance from every other clone, then checks some values per clone to decide what to do)

@sirbots Thank you! 😄

@mod-squadacademy-1bc96c56
You are right but technically, they take up the same amount of space in blocks.

(join(-)((abs(X)))

has join()(), and abs(), takes up 2 blocks

((abs(X))*(-1))

has abs() and ()*() (multiplication), takes up 2 blocks.

In math, --2 =2, —2 = -2, and so on. I guess it’s more of preference on which method to use. Your method is nice since it works with numbers only, but mine mixes strings (the “-”) and numbers which may be a bit weird even though it’s still interpreted as a number (just a negative one).

@tyller_ We’ll look into it!

@sonicplushshow CreatiCode is right. If you get your thumbnail, click the camera then, refresh the game (with your code saved ofc) then exit and then it should be there : P

This issue has been resolved.

@sonicplushiesc4 but let’s do a intro for our projects because @dreamsmp_luck, @TheKing_23_GOD Has a Intro.

@sanicplushshow who’s “our”?

@tng oh gosh.

oh… I found it in my 2D project and it woks! Thanks for helping me, guys! For leting me know that
this butten even exists, thanks!

@tyller_

This new block has been added. Here is a demo project on how to use it to add additional objects to an existing SPS:

https://play.creaticode.com/projects/656e6d8bc27b2f356ccb5af6

@info-creaticode
It still is stuck on a loading cycle when I try to sign back in. Also if I go to dashboard that same image pops up

@shrukin Im learning it too, its sum like a promotion system.

@info-creaticode Ok, thank you. Sorry if I’m a bit anoying

@mod-squadacademy-1bc96c56
Hey! Make sure to look at the dates of the posts before posting here!
You had replied to a 6+ month old topic.

@black-cat
lol okay

@011830-0a42ef84 not just hats, could be anything like glasses too, but shirts and pants will be a little harder because I’ll need to add animations of moving to go along with the character so that you don’t see the player’s leg going through the pants instead of the pants looking like they’re attached to the player

@info-creaticode Ohh, ok. Thank you for taking the time to research it.

@s9205307-810c679a also i saw your comment and did it (tab in a tab in a tab) :
694a860d-8d61-4933-b741-c6a4e07e32af-image.png

the page title thing is broken but will be fixed soon. Also check it out, there more features and it works again finally. New things are being added and I’m making it more complex and useful.

@catty I’m answering what you are asking, what are you not getting?

@011830-0a42ef84

In the costume editor, you can hold down the SHIFT key, then click any shape to select or deselect by itself, while keeping the other selection unchanged.

@ejrowberry09-12248f6d I’m not CreatiCode but I can answer your question. A slider is fine and possible, and no, there isn’t a block to check if someone is over 18 but that wouldn’t really be needed because if you plan on making an 18+ project, then you shouldn’t publish it publicly because this is a kids site. For your project to get views, you’ll have to advertise it somewhere else like say a web game development forum (not this one) to try to get people to play your project. It would be nice if they make project settings like “restrict to 13+ users, restrict to 18+ users” but they dont have that so that’d need to be a suggestion

@jeffreyrb03-gmail Thank you 😄

@info-creaticode No Problem. Just need to clear up space, that’s all. Still want to keep at least 1 or 2 older versions to find sources for bugs that didn’t exist before.
