Welcome to Melody's Mysteries Chatbots! Here you will find a wealth of information on my character, Melody. - How to Play - Well, first off, you have to click 'Chat With Melody', but you might want to read this first ... This is a chatbot! It's a string of code designed to 'answer' your questions or hold a 'conversation'. Type in a question and Melody will answer you! Questions that aren't pre-programmed won't be answered. (I realize you all don't want to risk the program going kaput, seeing as I've experienced some minor glitches while coding this. Here's a list of every question you can ask. You can ask them in any order.) - What's your name? - What are you? - What's your favorite food? - Do you like music? OR Do you play music? - Who's Fred? OR Who is Fred? - What's Melody's Mysteries? (More info on that below!) - What's your favorite color? - What's your favorite movie? - Do you have a job? - Where do you live? - Why did you re-design Melody? (Again?) - I really wanted a new eye style. I don't know how many people noticed this, but I've gone through three different eye styles this year, and this is my current one. While many people will associate this style with classic cartoons or even more popular Scratch animators, the first thought I had while drawing Melody's new eyes was 'she looks like Wubbzy'. And that thought was how I knew the eyes had to stay. (If you don't know what Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! is, then you have missed out on what might be one of the strangest yet crazily endearing preschool cartoons ever to exist.) - Suggestions? - I am open to suggestions! Whether this be to slow down Melody's speech or add more questions, I am open to anything. This project was a quick way to work on some coding and get a lil' bit o' info out about Melody's Mysteries, and I plan to do some to cover the entire main cast. - What is Melody's Mysteries? - Melody's Mysteries is a side-project of mine. It started when I needed a new idea for my cat characters and I still wanted to write a new series. I don't know if I'll really want to animate it in the long run, but I certainly love Melody's new story. All the cats are getting healthy doses of character development, a new setting, and legit mystery to solve. - What does this mean about Out of Nothing? - Out of Nothing is still going on! I finished the fourth draft recently and am 'off' writing it for a little while. Melody's Mysteries is a SIDE project, so it won't take up every minute of my time. (Nor my thoughts - when I'm not thinking about my darling characters of Our of Nothing, I'm thinking about Melody and Fred.) I'm also busy with school and church. - So ... you're STILL not going to be on Scratch that much? - In short, no. I like taking time to make Scratch projects, but I don't always have that time, and my attention quickly returns to other very distracting things such as school, writing, Animal Jam, Minecraft, and the Mystery Science Theater 3000 soundtrack. (THE GALLIFREY CRUISERS AND THE DUNES OF ARAKIS, SOMETHING SOMETHING SOMETHING ELSE CUZ THEY KNOW WHAT THE FACTS IS - am I screaming UFO again? Sorry.) - Fred is Melody's brother?! - Yes, yes he is. xD Their sibling relationship is going to be more kind than most cartoon-sibling relationships. (i.e. they support each other, rarely argue, but they still have their own flaws.) If you want to see this info repeated in-project, click the 'About Chatbots' button and click the slide to go to the next slide.
This project was partially inspired from my old 'Games With Fred' project. If you're interested in something slightly more interactive, check that project out! All art, characters, snippets of story, and coding are by me! Before anyone asks, when Melody asks if there's anything different about her, that was an intended meta joke. You can remix this project with your own characters and questions! I think it's a great first project idea for beginning Scratchers - the code isn't too complicated, and if you need help feel free to ask!
