This is another pen project, its pretty lazy, I'm making another one soon, so you guys should suggest something else I could make as a scratch project in the comments section. It can be anything guys, anything. An animation, a game, I'll even give 3D pen stuff a shot if you guys want me to. I need YOUR opinions guys! If you want to know how the project works, click the "See inside" button, I put a bunch of comments inside explaining how the project works, if you have any questions, please ask them, I would be happy to answer them. Oh yeah., and the beat in the background is from the scratch sound library, its playing on loop. Its the "scratchy beat" in the music loops. Ok, here is da boring description about the project: So basically, I wanted to make a pen effect using an information storage system for clones I came up with. It allows multiple clones of the same sprite to each have their own "variable." I say that with quotes because its not actually a variable, It uses a list. Each clone is assigned one item in that list based on the direction they're pointing In this case, the clones store a speed they will travel at in the list. This allows the clones to travel at a random, constant speed, without huge scripts. I did the huge scripts I'm talking about in one of my old pen projects, which you can find here: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/195222071/ if you look inside, you will see one really big script, that script picks randomly between four different ways each of the clones could travel: up, down, left and right. And the script is already huge, so ten different speeds would have been most likely laggy to manipulate in the editor. So this system I came up with is far better with lots random movements, and is far easier to modify and expand. To showcase the full potential of this system, I will do a remake of that old "Moving Pen Stuff" project I mentioned, but it will have all the clones moving at different speeds, and the clones changing both coordinates as they move along the screen. And if you're reading this, you can also press space to show and hide some info. The top variable is how many clones are on screen, and the bottom one is how many items the list has. The list caps off at 360 items, so it isn't that useful, but you can at least see at the beginning how many clones have been created. The clonecount is kinda random, the speeds of the clones are random, so how fast the get to the edge of the screen and delete themselves is random.
