Re: Game On B
Question; how complicated does the game us usually need to be to win? And are there any examples? Also, how do you find music since you can't download any and the libary aren't good (choppy)

Re: Game On B
tHeOreEtiCaLLy if you have a lot of time you can stitch together a quick tune with the music blocks but that takes away time you could be using for working on the actual game. Microphone sound effects also tend to suck because mic quality- I just pull a loop from the Scratch library and have it run in the background and supplement it with sound effects that fire when things happen in the game (like a ding when you collect something).stlcards422 wrote: ↑November 1st, 2020, 8:42 am Question; how complicated does the game us usually need to be to win?

For some examples? maybe https://scratch.mit.edu/classes/165734/students/ MD's 2019 Regionals games, each 'student' is a different team (CodeNinjas teams were for the separate trial running of the event). Debatable quality because this was regionals and not Nats or something, but there's some decent games here
Person-v132’s Game On guide is a good guide to take a look at, check out the links at the end as well
there's also uhhhh this game that was made on really similar rules? except it broke at some point after grading and I have no idea why I swear it wasn't like this when I submitted it
I'll probably fix it later

Re: Game On B
As an Event Supervisor, I wanted to hear input from you guys on the best way to run this event virtually with partners separated. I would greatly appreciate any advice or tips.

Re: Game On B
Anyone interested in grading a practice game I made? Topic is Photosynthesis

Re: Game On B
I found these notes for "Game On" on this website (scioly.org). https://scioly.org/tests/files/gameon_2 ... _notes.pdf
As I was looking through the notes, it said this.

But since of covid, I might not be able to use the same computer as my teammate. So how are we supposed to participate?

Re: Game On B
The way this will be run depends on your tournament. But if you're in California, your Regional and State tournament will be mini model. And for your Regional and State tournaments, each team should create a single Scratch login for both partners so that they can both access a single file. Note that while both partners can be logged into the account at the same time, Scratch does not save the files properly if both partners are in the project at the same time. Participants should communicate with their partner (through Scilympiad, phone, or other means) to let each other know who is actively working on the file to avoid version conflicts.

Re: Game On B
Are we allowed to click on choose a sound, then click on surprise, and get a random sound? Or do we have to make our own sound?

Re: Game On B
What are environmental interactions? Does adding grass that moves when the player touches it in a nature-themed game count?
