unpinned - Catty

As me and @CattyPlayzy have become forum moderators, we have locked, deleted, and purged over 60+ topics of spam coming from @Black-Cat and @Lilly-123, @Lilly-Alt. We have also found extremely inappropriate content posted a while ago by one of those spammers. We together are making this announcement to say that we are going to crack down against inappropriate and spam content because such degenerate filth is NOT allowed or welcome on this platform.

Catty’s part:
Yes. We are going to do our best to make this forum as safe as possible. We will scrape every little piece of garbage off this platform, and keep it as welcoming as possible to new K-12 users. Thank you for reading this.

Work done as of writing this (Sep 22)

• Catty has gotten multiple accounts created with bad intentions obliterated.

• Jeff has deleted many spam topics to keep questions on this forum mostly relevant to CreatiCode and coding.

• Catty has locked so many topics.

• Jeff went through old deleted topics and found bad stuff and also did some purging

• Catty is the reason moderators now have dedicated and organized topics for discussing moderation and issues.

• Both Jeff and Catty are the reason Shrukin and Lily behave more and are helpful to this forum, as well as this forum now being safer.

• Catty has helped find major issues with the forums, and how it affects the safety of our users in a bad way.

What you can do to help keep these forums clean and not to get your posts deleted

• If you see someone breaking a major rule or doing something like posting inappropriate topics or images, both here and on CreatiCode, then report those to us and CreatiCode with links. We can only moderate things on this forum Incorrect, we only moderate Help, Test, General Discussion, Project Showcase, and Feedback, so any inappropriate/egregious projects will be forwarded to them as well.

• Use the right categories. It is annoying when someone posts something in Live Books instead of Feedback or Help or General Discussion.

• Stay on-topic. Do not go off-topic, post links to other sites (that could be or are potentially bad) like GimKit or Discord, and/or use topics as chatrooms. These forums are for if you need help with CreatiCode/coding, ideas with coding, discussions about coding, want to give feedback/report bugs about CreatiCode, and anything related to that. We will delete or lock topics that break this rule and if you are annoying and break this rule many times, you will suffer consequences.

• Do not post anything inappropriate. This should go without saying, but we’ll also talk about a part that some people have struggled with in the past: make sure that images you post of characters or people aren’t overly suggestive. While an image could be considered appropriate because it doesn’t contain nudity, our standards are different, and clothed characters also break this rule, like female characters with unnaturally large breasts, and also fetishes.
  Catty’s note on this - Please make sure if you have female characters with unnaturally large breasts that you cover them up COMPLETELY, or lower the size. Either way, cover them up completely (the stomach is fine) to avoid consequences.

• Help new users follow the rules. They may have not read the forum rules yet, so point them to there.

• Chatroom clarification: it depends, but chats that are CC-related (like discussing making projects and ideas and sharing ideas/work) are okay, but doing more talking like you’re having a conversation with a friend should be kept to a minimum. A chatroom project has been made by CreatiCode so use that

I’m working on a new block language from scratch (no pun intended) that’s like Scratch but isn’t. It does not use blockly at all or any of the Scratch source, other than scraped SVGs for the blocks. Right now, it is does not work very well, as:

• blocks don’t snap
• the Drag & drop is buggy
• you can’t delete blocks
• Running the project doesn’t actually do anything as the blocks aren’t mapped to any code

Right now the website isn’t available to the public so you can’t try it yet.

So, I decided to make this because I was curious if I could recreate Scratch and make it better rather than forking it. Now I know why it’s easier to just fork Scratch like CC and TurboWarp did: because HTML5 drag and drop is so awful. I had to use a library for dragging and it still sucks. And I don’t even have a plan for making the blocks snap. But when I get the blocks snapping, hopefully it’ll get easier and then I just have to make a blocks catalog and some UI improvements.

In the block you get shown a list of the available avatars:

However, there is an issue. There are some avatars that are possible to get with this block, but aren’t shown in the selection list thingie above. For example, the avatars Spiderman and Jotaru Kujo aren’t shown in the list selection thingies above, but if you go to the search bar and type out their names, they will then pop up.
If this avatar selection list could show all of the avatars, that would be great.

@106809nes oh cool, this is what you normally do in Scratch. Basically just gotta check forever if the player is not touching the ground. If not, you have to change y by a negative value like -0.5 until they are touching the ground. Good tutorial tho

A reporter block that can make text backwards (blue -> eulb) would be useful. The XO assistant works for me now so it isn’t really an issue, but I feel like it’d be better and easier if this were just one reporter block, since it feels like a waste of code to make a whole for-each loop to loop through every single letter and make annoying temporary variables and all that stuff.

I know that these might not be used very often, but other blocks that can transform/encode text would be awesome, like some examples:

---

• ROT13 encryption: ROT13 is a simple encoding method usually used for fun and puzzles that turns every letter in a string to the 13th letter after it in the English alphabet. This picture explains it well:

* cowsay and other ASCII art things: You provide text like "Why did the chicken cross the road? (line break) To get to the other side!", and then the reporter block returns it to you in ASCII art with a cow or other options saying it in a speech or thought bubble. Examples:

Cow:

 ________________________________________
/ Why did the chicken cross the road?    \
\ To get to the other side!              /
 ----------------------------------------
        \   ^__^
         \  (oo)\_______
            (__)\       )\/\
                ||----w |
                ||     ||

Tux the Linux penguin mascot:

 _________________________________________
/ You are only young once, but you can    \
\ stay immature indefinitely.             /
 -----------------------------------------
   \
    \
        .--.
       |o_o |
       |:_/ |
      //   \ \
     (|     | )
    /'\_   _/`\
    \___)=(___/

And more info about it can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowsay

• Reporter blocks to encode/convert characters for to make them suitable in URLs or specific cases: for example, take a look at https://www.google.com/search?q=creaticode+website . Because URLs can’t handle spaces, they will use a + or another character I forgot. Like when you Google “$”, the $ gets turned into %24 when its in the URL. Having blocks for decoding/encoding in formats like base 64 would also be useful, say if you have the user intentionally upload a “text” file that actually isn’t text and is a .PNG image renamed to .txt and then show the user that image by showing the data URI of that image as the URL in a widget.
• Doing things with words, like finding the dictionary definition(s) of a word and returning it in a table, finding synonyms of the possible meanings of the word and returning a table (ex: “light” would have synonyms regarding weight (portable, lightweight) and ones regarding actual light (luminosity, radiance) ).

yayyy im 15

I think a block to alphabetize a list would be really useful. Here is an example of what it could look like:

This block should replace the list selected (in order A-Z or Z-A) with its alphabetized version.
And maybe an operator-kind too:

This should return the list provided but in alphabetical order.
__________________________
Or maybe just add A-Z and Z-A as new options for the sort list block:

These should also have an equivalent for tables too.

Has anyone made a multiplayer 3D game, and if so, could they share it?
I wanna use some good code or a good project as a starting point for my super big project.

@info-creaticode wait really? oh okay. I think small to large is a bit confusing because I thought it referred to numbers. The wording should probably be made a bit clearer. Thank you for the response lol I didn’t realize this already existed

@info-creaticode Hm, ok. I should try to make one by myself in the meantime. I feel like it would be very resource intensive and/or laggy though because you’d have to broadcast a message to the world everytime there’s something others should see, like if one player is moving around, they would have to send a message like every millisecond so that other users would see that person moving.

weirdly, it self censored “same-sex” but then didn’t censor “sexual orientation”.

@mr-gentlehands dude why would you post that stuff here, specifcally the “im a minor btw” with a freaky ai, and the picture of AI ariana grande with her nipples very visible through her shirt? I’m not even gonna get into the fact that it’s AI slop, but why are you sharing gooner content on a public forum at 11 years old?!?!

I can’t be talking since I’ve viewed inappropriate things since age 6, but this is a public forum, and you know predators could potentially view what you say, make a new user, pretend to be a child, become your friend, and then potentially manipulate you into doing horrible things, to a point of no return?

It’s scary, yet you’re throwing yourself right in it by showing that you have knowledge on the subject, making you more vulnerable to online pedos. You know ppl can lie about age right?

I also have to say, I will not support AI slop content on this forum. Support real, human artists instead of a soulless image generator. ChatGPT is ok to use in my book, but AI can’t & shouldn’t make art. Because alot of people don’t care about this, alot of artists get their job stolen by AI. You shouldn’t support this. AIs work like this: AI (specifically ChatGPT and similar ones) isn’t a brain. It’s a program. It is code that can run inside an app. It isn’t exactly a bunch of wires and computer parts, just a ton of stolen text, Wikipedia/Reddit pages, many stolen images, etc. Many artists who upload their art online with a license (that free and easy to do btw) are protected against things like someone reuploading the art and saying its their own, someone using it in a mean way (companies do this with their logos). However, to train image AIs, they just ignored all that and stole images anyways. And it’s hard to sue against that because the images get turned into just incomprehensible numbers (model weights) because AIs need tons of optimization for speed. So think about it: do you wanna support this evil? or will you oppose it? All ChatGPT and AI can do is steal and recreate.

@info-creaticode Ok

@mr-gentlehands sorry but i got stuff to do, i have sports and my parents just made me go outside and get sweaty right after I showered, now in the car. I’ll try though

@mr-gentlehands sorry i can join later, not now. Also why use a school Chromebook for that?

@jeffreyrb03-gmail i might be able to join today anyways, I have some CreatiCode knowledge I can pass down to you that literally nobody else knows but me

@mr-gentlehands makes sense

@mr-gentlehands said in A new animation:

@jeffreyrb03-gmail I know so, but I’m talking about between me and Jaldolf. we have our own calls everyday to yap about stuff

Oh nvm

@mr-gentlehands you’re potentially endangering yourself and others, like what if some random 50 year old dude shows his junk on your calls?

@mr-gentlehands creaticode said themselves they dont approve of the calls, and i think maybe you should stop them
