AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG FEATURED 8/7/2023!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TYSM ST!!!!!! I dreamed this would happen but never really expected it! I am replying to all the comments except those that say a compliment (I still read them and thank you for your compliment, but there are just too many to reply to!), that are talking to others, and that are advertising. I just got back home from a trip, logged in to do something and also check my email and scratch, and found like, 640 messages or something! I have no clue how this happened, but thank you to whoever made this happen! ___________________________________________ PLEASE No advertising! They will be deleted! This is overwhelming as is, and I don't need more stuff! Fixed the play button and it now says "several months" instead of "a few days" That's all for now, but I can add more stages eventually. ____________________________________________ This is for Scratch Camp 2023 Week 2 Mission to Mars ____________________________________________ I decided to create an animation from Scratch Camp this week. This is strange, because I usually do art or games. An animation was something I hadn't ever done before, at least not a full one, meant to be watched for a few minutes, rather than a few seconds, as an intro, or part of a game.. But I did it, and now I present to you my first animation ever, From Earth to Mars. Watch as a rocket takes off for Mars with a new NASA rover inside. It travels through space for a few days (it would really be years) and lands. Some parts are narrated by text-to-speech blocks, like the countdown. You constantly hear the rocket, and the wind at the beginning and end. I had more ideas than I could code, like showing the control room and the place where the rocket would have been built before the countdown, and more talking at first. I also had hoped to show the rocket in different stages, but I wasn't able to. If I were to make a moon and mars version, you would not see the Saturn V's 3 stages and other maneuvers. Beyond that, everything should be pretty accurate. Thanks for watching, and I hope you like it! ____________________________________________
If you go inside the project and look at the costumes for the rocket sprite, you will notice something interesting. In fact, the fact that I said "costumes" plural tells you something already. I originally made the rocket look like the Saturn V, since I didn't know what kind of rocket goes to Mars. I kept the costume because it was really good, and later I may add the option to choose between a mission to Mars or the Moon. For now, its just there. ____________________________________________ Mission to the Moon is now out! It's still just a one-way trip, but that could be changed if you guys want! https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/881025986
