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.

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

@dreamsmp_luck i would approve it, but i dont think i can do that so ill wait for em. Also I found that tengen uzui signed up with a school email, so I’ll be contacting his school about his behavior

@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

In JavaScript, you can use the eval function to evaluate code from a string, like this:
eval('var x = 1; var y = x + 2; alert(x+y);');
and this does the exact same as:

var x = 1; 
var y = x + 2;
alert(x+y);

Now, I’m not asking for a block that allows you to execute JavaScript code, because in more ways than one can that be exploited very badly, but I mean a block that allows you to just run other blocks from text. This is what it could look like:

This could be useful for debugging, bypassing drop-down menus that don’t accept text/variables, or (in my current case) when your code should work perfectly fine but is still being stubborn and this is an alternative.

https://play.creaticode.com/projects/66f85f2ce228c74a133e1128

What you have to do is find out a secret code (it has numbers and words) using clues and some math. If you get this right, send a screenshot of you getting it right to me here, and I’ll check if it’s true.

I have made a challenge event for anyone and everyone here to try! If you solve this and get it right (and are the first or second person to get it), then as a reward, I will make a project for you, of your choice, and it will be very detailed and will be of high quality. Good luck with this challenge! Remember, if you are the first or second person to figure out the code, I’ll make an awesome project for you.

@dreamsmp_luck there’s an easier way to completely bypass profanity filters here, but I’ll gatekeep the method since I’d rather it be harder to curse than easier.
To add on to what you said with my POV,

His age (whether he lied or not) and the other stuff doesn’t matter too much, it’s just that he said curse words, put on suicidalness for attention, and was pretty toxic (to me included) on this forum, which is all not allowed. He also posted his crap in the chinese categories (which i don’t have the ability to moderate) so that i can’t do anything about it, which made me pretty mad.

@dreamsmp_luck yo, i just put you in the group, go to your settings and equip the Best Forum Helpers tag

@dreamsmp_luck it’s a method I’ll gatekeep, but i will say, anyone can do it very easily. It doesn’t even need a google search, like for the russian e or whatever. That’s all I’ll say about how I can say “crap”

@dreamsmp_luck yw

@dreamsmp_luck also i just wiped out all of tengen from this thread. Are there any other threads that i should delete or edit his replies?

@sayori-is-best-girl yeah, he graduates in 2031

When reporting a post here on the forums, we are shown radio options of:

• Spam
• Offensive
• Other (specify below)

One issue with it is that they aren’t checkboxes, so we can’t select multiple options. This would be useful because for example, there are things that could be both Offensive and Spam. Another issue with these is that these aren’t always enough to describe what’s involved. We will need these new options:

• Sexual content
• Sharing personal information
• Scam
• Extreme violence/gore
• Copyright infringement
• Impersonation

@dreamsmp_luck idk, mess around with it. Im not a Best Forum Helper so idk

@dreamsmp_luck said in hi guys i'm heron:

@sayori-is-best-girl eniemen recarniated-
he also likes M&M so thats prob why he’s like this but
irl Aiden is black so idk if racist
but he is same age as me

Hey, Eminem isnt racist. I like listening to Eminem and the dude isn’t racist. Tengen is tho.

I haven’t found any documentation on how to use this block. How do I put a video plane? I tried to put a YouTube video URL, but this doesn’t work or is confusing. I’m assuming this just plays a YouTube video (or a video located at any URL) on a plane/flat surface that I could use to make like a working TV

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.

@tyller_ oh I see it thanks bro

I have a string like “burger\nfries\ntacos” (\n is a line break). How can I convert this or add this to a list? The XO assistant doesn’t work at all for me, so I can’t ask it.

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 Thank you

@106809nes idk that one is super cool I woulda just kept it to myself

@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.

For google sheets blocks to work, you have to set it so anybody can edit your google sheet. But I’d rather not put that setting even though the link is still hidden to to others. I tried to share it with info@creaticode.com (without notifying) and it didn’t work. I also can’t get it because Google sheets just shows you as “anonymous user”. What I want to do is just share the sheet with whatever email address you use for the GS blocks so that it’s certain only the blocks and I have edit control over it.

@106809nes it seems cool to me, besides, why snitch on yourself? It seems like a pretty cool thing and if you match it up with a transparent PFP then you can appear completely invisible lol

@info-creaticode Oooo got it, I will try to develop something got it.

@thebrickmaster626-f522560b I like the idea, I guess you could make a draggable widget with limits so you can’t drag it too far and end up breaking the joystick, and then make like a 3d character and/or camera constantly move (with a forever block) to whatever direction the joystick is in, which might be hard because you’ll have to do some math or complex calculations.
Or maybe instead of a joystick, you could do what older Minecraft bedrock did and make arrows to move

CreatiCode and Scratch in general isn’t all that mobile/touchscreen friendly so if you have an iPad or something I recommend buying a bluetooth keyboard and mouse and using it to use creaticode and it will make ur life so much easier.

@tyller_ oo ok thank you I will make something with this

@sirbots With as little context as possible and me giving a general answer (although i know this is for your game), there are like 2 ways I can think of and they aren’t gonna be easy or are gonna not be computer memory friendly.

First, you could have a seperate process (starting with when green flag is clicked or when I receive a message game started) that will check forever (if/else statements within a forever c block) if a clone is pointing at an original sprite, and to make it less computationally repetitive (as it slows down your computer to have that running forever), you could have this checking process only check in a time/stage where it is applicable, like if the game is started or the player is in a specific area, etc. That would use if/else c blocks within repeat until c blocks within a forever c block I think, I could be wrong but that’s going off a guess. And within these conditionals, you would be getting table and cross checking coordinates and all.

Second, I don’t personally think this is good all the time (since I’m biased towards the use of AI in creative processes like this), but you could use CreatiCode’s XO AI assistant. From the title this sounds like a hard and probably monotonous task and you could just have the AI give something that might work. And even if the code it gives you doesn’t work, you might be able to learn from it or see the technique it’s trying to use and then apply it to your current project.

I’m not willing to give help with blocks at the moment, but I can clarify what I mean if it doesn’t make sense

@info-creaticode Got it, I have some big ideas that I plan on doing, thank you!

@info-creaticode its ok

@catty lolll

@luna Sure, and thank you lol

@luna prolly me or Tyller. I could make really complex things if I want to or have the time but I’ve been very busy making my YOUniverse3D game and doing schoolwork

@dreamsmp_luck you could change your username to hide your email, and also edit other settings I think,although you’re right that this setting shouldn’t be set like that by default.

(this is CreatiCode/coding related so no need to flag)

First I’ll start off with the positive, my sort of review and happiness with the site and platform.
So, I’m pretty happy using CreatiCode at the moment because of how the customer service/team actually cares about you unlike other platforms, and they are also extremely generous compared to Scratch, with the big blocks, providing free AI access, free database storage, LITERALLY 3D made THE EASIEST IT COULD POSSIBLY GET WITH no cuts, no buts, and no coconuts. They also have other things like free automated email sending and multiplayer, and have more, better, and more practical tutorials as well as demo projects. I can understand why Scratch wouldn’t give so much possibilities for many reasons, like how it’d be harder to moderate abuse of those features, them having to pay money for those features (like for ChatGPT memberships and whatnot), but when you think about it, it makes you appreciate CreatiCode so much more. CreatiCode offers all this at no cost and the only reason why you’d have to pay money is if you want rate limits for those features increased as well as Diagrams, which is completely understandable and I would probably get CreatiCode premium one day when I get a credit card, because good deeds always get rewarded.

Because of this, I really dislike when people treat this place like Scratch, specifically what Lilly does, with off-topic nonsense and quite frankly useless projects that don’t need to be shared, because all they are is just a bad OC drawing and some text. It just feels disrespectful because if you’re some socially awkward 12 year old that wants to post degenerate filth that only 2 people are going to like, then why not just do that in Scratch? Scratch has a lot of capabilities too but CreatiCode is supposed to be advanced, not for/commonly used by children rotting their’s and other’s brains by and showing others just how immature they are. I was glad that she got banned for 3 days but I think it should be extended to a month, because the way Lilly acts is actually suitable and tolerated on Scratch, but here it’s just disruptive, and clogs the forum feed and takes up storage.

Also, thank you guys for making a 3D multiplayer doom game, I will definitely incorporate its elements into my game. I hadn’t started making a 3d multiplayer code yet because I was too busy fixing bugs with my character movement and animations. Once my game is at a nice and playable point I’ll showcase it in a forum post, filled with many niche technical details about the process and what I’ve been doing to develop it. I also want to make it slightly modifiable so I might do things like make documentation and/or specifications for what could be modified and how.

My game is public though and is getting worked on a lot, but unfinished. It uses the Minecraft Demo as the base, and I’m building on top of that. My vision for it is to be a pretty good game, and a fusion between Minecraft and Roblox with many other games and my own ideas too.

(you have to press the green flag twice, idk its some bug with CreatiCode)

I also wanted to say that the terms of service cant be read and that could possibly result in a lawsuit if left untouched for too long and a person that got banned decides to exploit that, and I also want to be able to read the rules/ToS so I can know what’s acceptable and what isn’t if I don’t know. Here’s a screenshot of the issue:
This is by the way the link that you guys link to at places like when you sign up so some of the links to the terms might need to be fixed but all you need to do is put a page there.

I think Catty is the first person to get over 200, so good job! This is certainly a forum achievement.

@c lol u reveal ur birthdate and wonder how a guy doxxed you
