I started this project over 4 years ago. I had trouble animating the pink guy so I took a break. That "break" led to me leaving the website for good, pretty much. Recently I wanted to test code something, just for my own personal use, but since I don't really know any coding languages I came back here. And I saw this project. And I remembered how much I'd struggled animating the pink guy's throw, just this one tiny part. And I decided to finish it. To animate the last few frames and put my final scratch project out there. I had originally planned for this to be "3 ways to open a jar" but I now that I've stopped scratch I think that's a little ambitious. 2 is enough. I had also originally planned a full series with these new characters but...I grew up. And that's okay. I'll keep being creative, and solving problems, and trying new things, but I'm not going to keep on Scratch-ing. It's just something that I've grown out of. If any kids see this, I just want to say that growing up is okay. When I was a kid I knew that my childhood was fleeting. It stressed me out, and I think in a way, inhibited me from fully enjoying being a kid. Yes, savor your childhood. Appreciate it as a time that will never return. But also know that growing up is a beautiful thing. There is whimsy and adventure in life beyond the age of 18. Things will change, both for good and bad. But you'll still be you, just older. Thanks to this community and MIT/Scratch team for letting me get some of the weirdness out of my system as a kid. And letting me talk with kids around the world, and be creative, and desperately vie for Scratch fame (lol). I might post a few more things, like that personal coding project I mentioned, but this is my post saying...goodbye. I'm onto a different chapter of life.
